No doubt. That shot could not have been taken from the shuttle, as it is 90 degrees above the wing, and any shot "from a shuttle window" would show the wing at a nearly 180 angle. One person tried to tell me we could photograph the wing from Earth, but looking at the pic, it is obvious that did not happen.

We shouldn't allow "fact" to interfer with the ravings of this moron. Afterall, in just a couple of hours the rest of the nation will be holding a memorial service while he continues to dishonour them. Those seven astronauts weren't fools and many of them had been with NASA for years. They were real aeronautical engineers and pilots, not some wacked out fruitcake with a computer and a grudge. Unless he somehow thinks they were fools or somehow duplicitous in their own deaths.

Actually, if you see the video this came from, it is from the Shuttle.

It looks to be from one of the arm cameras and is kind of looking back forward and down at the edge of the cargo bay door. The camera looks to located right above the crew compartment bulkhead looking into the cargo bay.

As it pans about 180 degrees to the left you see the cargo bay, the tail, the OMS pods, and the tip of the wing.

Unfortunately I don't have the link to the video here at work.
