Amazing. Did they clean up all the space junk and rocket boosters and satellites before they launched?

The total mass of this orbital debris is approximately 13,500 tonnes, comprising roughly 8,000 tonnes of satellites (half of which are non-functional) and 4,000 tonnes of rocket stages.

I saw this beautiful pic yesterday and still am trying to figure out what the tan colored thingy is in the center of the pic. Looks like the ISS?

unlike the Apollo 17 photo, which was taken by sunlight, this photo was taken by Moonlight, so that you can see Venus at about 5 o’clock, as a bright star.

That is not the earth.
Where is all the rest of the land.
The image was probably lifted from Star Trek.
