ISS in early stages of construction edit

Edit #1 (cropped) - The U.S.-built Unity connecting module (bottom) and the Russian-built Zarya module are backdropped against the blackness of space in this Space Shuttle Endeavour photo. After devoting the major portion of its mission time to various tasks to ready the two docked modules for their International Space Station (ISS) roles, the six-member STS-88 crew released the tandem and performed a fly-around survey of the hardware.

Edite #2 (cropped and turned to maximize area)

Reason: Great details, good lighting, encyclopedic.

Support Certainly illustrative of the subject. The resolution is a bit small, but this is negligible. The image has a slight tilt. Jellocube27 21:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

this is another edit I made to maximize the the area of the spacecraft in the picture, remember the is no up or down in space, so theres no real definable level.Chris H 01:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose I have really been enjoying all these pictures from space, but I do not think this one quite levels up to the others' quality. The whites are blown, the image is (relative to the other space pics) small and not all that crisp at full size. I hate to oppose it, seeing that it is illustrative and that I and other viewers have a close to zero chance of every being able to see the subject in person, but there are just too many astounding pictures that this cannot rival in quality.

Oppose per above, the image is not as sharp as it could be. I'm not sure how much it can be edited to rectify the problem. --Phoenix 03:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose - interesting picture, but, sadly is of poor quality... Booksworm Talk to me! 14:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I find Bookworm's comment funny because I was about to say the opposite. The quality is not stunning, but I wouldn't call it poor and I wouldn't call the picture interesting while he does. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I say that it is Interesting as it is a view of the ISS that I have never seen... Booksworm Talk to me! 08:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
