Pretty big chunk of hardware if you think about it.

If that station needs all those solar panels to generate power for itself then this picture helps prove how they can’t be used as a major, reliable power source on Earth.

Where is the corresponding picture of the Soyuz taken from the space station?

Staring at my tv set in 1969 as a 16 year old kid I was positive that in the year 2000 I would be celebrating my birthday at the Hilton Moon. Oh well, dreams....

Back in the Day, before 9/11/01, I was privileged to see the Destiny Lab portion of the ISS just prior to its being conveyed to the station on board the Shuttle. It was a night launch, and wonderful to behold. We were so confident and optimistic back then. (sigh)

>> How was this picture taken?

By the under-appreciated cameraman of course.
