I got this link in an email today and at first passed it off as another silly chain email. In fact, these are some of the best spacewalk pictures i've ever seen!

Those pictures are all fakes. They are all done in a studio in Hollywood. It's a government coverup!!!

The amazing thing (and visually most striking to me) about space shots like these is that space has no atmosphere to distort the images.  So things are so crystal clear that they look fake and CG.

I got that set in an email several months ago, so they aren't from the latest mission.  However, they are fantastic photos.  I'm currently using the first one as my computer wallpaper.  Thanks for posting the link!

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

Yeah i noticed that, how positively clear they are.
What also strikes me is how serene it looks, yet how inhospitable it actually is.

Boy do I love that sort of thing!

I am glad that I incorporate some of the same techniques that the astronauts use when I ride my bike!
For instance, notice the cheat sheets that are in the cuff of that space suit in the 3rd picture...  That is how I carry my toll money.  :D :D 8)

What you are looking at is THE MOST highest paid construction workers in the world.  Just last week, the MOST highest paid plumber was sent into space to fix a broken toilet on the International Space Station.  :o  ;D

I have always wondered how the lunar modual landed on cheese and you never see any mice in the pictures the moon and there is no dust on the landing gear... and what about all the shadows going every which way in the pics? did they bring extra lighting effects with them... and how come the moon looks a lot like Nevada?

cheese food for thought

1)Fake space landing
2)???
3)Get oil
4)PROFIT!

You see, its just that simple. Even a child could understand this, you're not a CHILD are you?

With all honesty they actually do look fake at first, hard to put your finger on it, but terrestrial pictures always have a bit of loss to resolution due to the atmosphere. Its kinda like super realistic computer images, you can always tell but you're not sure why.
Other than its a talking donkey, of course.

One thing that makes them so striking is the fact that when you take pictures in space, you have to have your exposure settings set to capture all that shinny stuff we send into space!!  The stars don't show up at those exposure settings.  8)
