The sun is over 90 million miles away from the shuttle and ISS in that pic, and even then those two things are just small dark specs compared to our closest star. Kinda makes you feel small...

I remember in a chapel speaking back in High School (I went to a private high school) one speaker came up and has a powerpoint presentation of how big the universe really is... something thats incredibly hard to comprehend. It's all so amazing

And at first that picture didn't look real, looked like a CGI image... but its not. How incredible

Nice picture

Makes me sad though... What we could have accomplished by now, and instead we just have a few people sitting up there trying to convince themselves and us they are doing something worthwhile
