[cityhunter2501]

Yeah, props to him. It is hard to take pictures with a camera during spacewalks with those big ass gloves on.

You guys have wireless up there?

No kidding. Adjusting settings with fingers the size of power wheelchair lady would be tough.

Of course not, they just fling the cameras back to earth periodically. Everyone knows that Nikons can survive re-entry.

[stardotstar]

amazing

Dedicated beyond member updating us with pics :thumbsup: :D

[Ekliptix]

Um, yes we have wireless...
If anyone has any request, like their name on paper with the earth in the background let me know. I'm going back out in about 2hrs.

That was just a joke about remembering the camera settings. I actually don't get to play with the settings. The guys back in Houston have it all preset, since I have enough on my mind.

[GenerationX]

can you take one for me!.
with generation X on it :D

Yep, just look at the camera in the helmet's reflection here - it's wrapped in an anti-radiation cloth to protect the sensor, there's no way to adjust the settings at all!

[smontyLS1]

I wonder how many people belong to the 100,000 mile high club?


Awesome photos. I have a new desktop background.

[smontyLS1]

Can you get "MONTY ROCKS" on a paper? maybe even with one of the other guys holding it? that would be AWESOME

[Ekliptix]

GenerationX, no problem.
BerserkerCatSplat, that protective wrap is more directed at insulating the camera from the cold temperature. If you can believe it, we actually use something similar to those chemical heat packs people use in their gloves in the winter. The ones in the camera are specially made to go around the battery, CCD sensor, and lens servo motors. It's not a cheap piece of equipment, let me tell you.

I know there are a lot of Canadians on here so I figured you'd like this image of the Canada Arm that my crew member, Danny Olivas, uses to practice with in Houston.

Some of you may have heard about the recent issue we had with some of the ceramic tiles prior to entering back into the Earth's atmosphere. These are the next generation of the tiles we're working on. They are 30% lighter and 20% better and insulting the shuttle, as well as 20% more resistent to cracking which is what happened to the old ones.

[Ekliptix]

I've been getting a lot of PM's so I'll have to cut off the requests. I may not have time for all of them but I'll do what I can.

[JAYMEZ]

^^ MEEE FIRST! :rofl:

[/////AMG]

:rofl: :rofl:

[Darkane]

Can you please take pic of the moon and perhaps the next closest planet? Might still be a spec of light in space though. Fucking rights man :)

Ok fuck I lied. Take a picture of the Enterprise and I'll pay you huge cash for it! :)

EDIT: If you really are an astronaut I hate you!! I'd kill to be in your shoes..

[ray8181]

must be awsome being up there

[seer_claw]

Pretty cool shots. How long are you staying up at the ISS? :rofl:

[em2ab]

I want to ask this specifically.

Are you taking these pictures from the space craft or its vicinity?

[JAYMEZ]

^^^ Shhhhhhhhhh lol.

I wonder how many ppl PMed him lol

[infamous]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: this thread is gold!! haven't laughed that hard in a while.

[Ekliptix]

I'm in a bit of trouble now. A few hours ago Oleg Kotov caught me getting some of the signs ready I was going to take pictures of. Anyway, he told everyone so I won't be doing any more space walks, this mission at least.

smontyLS1, NASA took my name off the crew list on their site?!?? That is not a good sign. Oleg must have informed control of my sign making and they're trying to damage control already. I'm going to call control and explain myself, I really can't afford to waste this incredible opportunity I've been given.
