Those guys at Boeing certainly do good work. I most definitely appreciated the “total picture” aspect of this film, with the BB-stackers, maintainers, SAR guys, et al, getting some “air time,” too.
I haven’t made up my mind if I’m gonna steal this… or not. Regardless: It’s great good stuff.
This is usually playing on all of the big screen TVs in the MacDill BX. You can buy the DVD for not much money at a BX…. and probably a PX too. It is awesome on a big screen with surround sound.
Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Space Station
This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the about photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA Read More
