    My dad just emailed me this. It was originally emailed out by a NASA flight director. It's insane. I thought I would share...

    Here is an even cooler picture in my opinion... a self portrait, with the bottom of the shuttle and those blasted tiles in the background. If you look closely you can see the space station too.

    NOTE: If you use Firefox and try to save this, Firefox will probably freeze or crash.

    I will post cropped wallpapers of this image in a few minutes.

    Holy crap, after reading this it's a wonder that NASA hasn't had more shuttle problems!
