SWEET! Thanks for sharing!!
As a scientist, I am hostile to fundamentalist religion because it actively debauches the scientific enterprise. It teaches us not to change our minds, and not to want to know exciting things that are available to be known. It subverts science and saps the intellect. - Dawkins

Nice shots!

But ... all those screens and they still can't find a decent film to watch.

 ;D glad you folks like the pictures. I love them, too!

I showed my daughter that page of pictures, and her little mouth formed a perfect "O" and she said "Mama, what Star Trek are those from?".... and that's when I realized I was raising a geek.

I'd be too busy staring at space to care about any earth movies, I think.  :D

Wonderful photos! Of course, it's about space and spaceships, so I'm hooked from the start. Thanks for sharing the link.

Yes. But that's the CIA version, it doesn't really exist.
