Just thought I'd share and just thought I hope you enjoy.

Yes. Just got back.

[GBTurbo]

Errrrrr that's pretty good.

[HoHoHo]

All very, very impressive

Nice.

The ISS cupola always reminds me of a TIE fighter.

Makes one wonder how much, if any, influence was taken from memories of films watched by the designer ?!? *taps nose*

I wondered exactly that when I first saw it. I guess there aren't that many ways of approximating a hemisphere with flat panels though? Add some framework and you've got a TIE fighter...or a WW2-era bomber...or an ISS cupola.

I suppose it'll have to do for now.

I guess by the time you qualify to get to the station any remnants of vertigo will have been forcibly removed by that time...

Awesome, isn't it?

You can imagine just standing there, one second away from engulfment. Brilliant picture just for that reason. It's alive.

Any change to links of the original pics (ie. without the stupid Thumbsnap watermark)?

[BonzoG]

Click the pic to go the ThumbSnap page, then click it again to get the full-sized version with no watermark.

Cheers Lazy, that first shot of the take off is fabulous - I have a new desktop background!

Exact. How good is that in a higher resolution? Ace man, ace.

Superstar, thank you!

I, too, have a new background.

The launchpad one is properly stunning in full res, thanks for posting them.

The space chick in the cupola is alright too!
