2001 in 2012














Been a while since I posted anything spacey. This picture has been making the rounds and I really like it so my turn to share. It's an unmanned resupply shuttle, stuffily named "Automated Transfer Vehicle 3", docking with the ISS. You've got the spotlight from the ISS and the lights and boosters on the transfer vehicle backdropped by the curve of the earth and the field of stars... it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. But that's really happening up there. How can you not want more of that?
