GreyGhost Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Wow, big pic ... you can see the chip in the tile just behind the nose gear doors ... At least it looks like it to me ... Gregg Link to post Share on other sites
flynavy Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) i may have to make a print of that shot. saw it on the paper today and drooled! atleast they're training those astronauts good with cameras. Maybe i should get a job at NASA teaching photography to their new astronauts when i leave the Navy lol Edited July 29, 2005 by flynavy Link to post Share on other sites

Slartibartfast Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 If it weren't for the size of the missing tile, it could almost be classified a camera defect. Sure a lot of missing pixels! Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 With all these hi-res pics of the shuttle, I have been getting the impression the texture of the surface of the shuttle looks almost organic, like scales or skin or feathers... anyone else notice that? Very cool pic, thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 That's a beautiful picture... 30 years old or no, it's hard not to marvel at the design of the orbiters we use! Link to post Share on other sites
TomcatFanatic123 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 there's another pretty cool shot of the nose gear door on spaceflightnow.com (probably on NASA site too). Really amazing pictures...you can see each individual thermal tile. The pic that's posted in this thread is my wallpaper right now. Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Davenport Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 That is one of the best pics I've ever seen of the shuttle. And I've seen a LOT. Justin Link to post Share on other sites
