Stunning! The reflection in the waterway, the Moon and the shuttle trail in the sky... wow.

Although it's the last night launch, it's actually not the last Space Shuttle launch.

Anyway, here's a 7-minute tour of ISS (http://dvice.com/archives/2010/02/take-a-tour-of-1.php) that shows, among other things, how to store lenses — up there, you can just hang them on the wall. (At about 2:50 in the video.)

I love when photographers put a lot of effort into a shot, it shows, and the shot is actually good.

Compare that to how we thought it would happen in the 50's, and yes I was there to see this on the big silver screen.  Back in those days you always had to be ready for a Meteor Storm!

That is too cool.  In space no one can hear  you over act.

Love this image ...
