Notice the second image on the right, which is a high-resolution image of one of the objects that delayed the landing of the Space Shuttle Atlantis.  They say it might have been ice or shimstock from the orbiter, but then again, who knows whats up there....;D

Or perhaps the space crew found it necessary to bring a jeyyfish into space and photo it?  ;D

It always amazes me, that although the little Space Station is clearly visible glowing in the night sky, and is only around 200 miles from Earth it still takes 12 days, travelling 10 million miles, to get there... :o...!!

...traffic jams...?
...avoiding dangerous obstacles...?
...Maps out of date...?
