AND SEE HOW IT’S FLAT?!?!?!????
=P
Did they get the toilet fixed?
Big Blue Marble
The earth’s a Big Blue Marble
When you see it from out there
The sun and moon declare
Our beauty’s very rare
Folks are folks and kids are kids
We share a common name
We speak a different way
But work and play the same
We sing pretty much alike
Enjoy spring pretty much alike
Peace and love we all understand
And laughter, we use the very same brand
Our differences, our problems
From out there there’s not much trace
Our friendships they can place
While looking at the face
Of the Big Blue Marble in space
I am guessing the code brown has been fixed...?

If you really look hard enough, you can see the effects of global climate change.

This is one of the things I have been most looking forward to (in the short term) on this mission-the Hi-Def imagery (still and video) we will get.

Why not send a picture of America?
If the Earth is flat, there are a lot of continents missing.
The earth was eclipsing the sun. At the distance of the moon from earth, the earth is still almost four times the sun’s angular diameter, so the sun must be a small fraction of the earth’s diameter at this distance. What is more interesting is that that means that picture must have been taken by moon light. April 1st was a full moon, but it would still require a sensitive camera, or a longish exposure, to get the earth bathed in moonlight to look so clear.
When the moon is full, the earth, viewed from the moon, is dark, it is a “new earth”. The illumination phase of the earth is the complement of the lunar phase viewed from earth. When it is a first quarter moon on earth, it is a third quarter earth viewed from the moon. A new moon on earth means a full earth viewed from the moon.
Um, how is the Earth so bright in this pic if the Sun is behind our home?
It just boggles my mind all the engineering and electronics that go into building a rocket that size without a page by page assembly instruction manual.

Those large images show STARS! Yes, it’s night-time, Earth illuminated by moonlight and photographed with a very sensitive camera in a longer “normal snapshot” exposure time.
Remarkable stuff.
BTW, the astronauts have by now passed through the Van Allen Radiation Belts ... unscathed as one might expect.
Why can't the Pocket-Protector-People do that? They have millions of tons of crap floating arount up there, just waiting to chain-collide, and make the space around Earth unsafe beyond measure.
Why can't we have just a few rewards for all the tons of gold and money they have wasted with our government's authority?
Thousands and thousands of space junk and satellites and don’t even see one. Strange.
