Just to give you an idea of how small we really are. In this pic the International Space Station just happend to be in the right place at the right time to capture the Space shuttle's launch from the Cape.
Well scratch that pic since the upload limit was changed. So much for pic posting here. IMO to small of an allowance for upload space. ![]()

Dreadnaught,
Has there been any confirmation that pic was actually from the ISS? Others have suggested due to the angles and cloudcover involved that it was actually taken within the atmosphere by one of the NASA RB-57 atmospheric research aircraft.

Question (turn around twist to this thread). We were watching "Enemy at the Gates" the other night and even putting the disk on pause I could not clarify the "German" tanks or rather what tanks they used to portray German tanks.
They almost looked like mocked up T-34's (similar to the rough mock up done in the Russian made movie "Ballad of a Soldier"). But they looked like they had track support wheels that most Russian tracked vehicles do not use. Can somebody identify them for me please? T-34's were abundant and I really got a kick out of the armored train car with two T-34 turrets on top. The most serious historical flaw I saw in the movie was that Nikita Kruschev was the only clean shaven Russian. In the Red Army, even if you didn't have a razor, you were to be clean shaven every day. Not this latest "IN" fad of a one day growth of whiskers. |
