...You can hear the camera of Paulo clicking away...

I was in fact wondering what those click click click were...it's been a long series of 3 clicks, is he maybe using a "bracketing" photo-technique?

As an SF man, he uses short bursts to save the ammo...

[Yoda]

Of course Tuesday.............. why would you even think it could be some other day. :lol:
By the way................which Tuesday ?...:rofl:

 

[diogom]

Well, let's hope it's the Moscow afternoon. I'm expecting to get these pics on my desktop when I get home :lol:

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

Wow, that was stunning. I haven't even got any words for that amazing sight. I can't wait for the Hi-Res images/Hi-Def video!

Here's an *amazing* time-lapse video of the manoeuvre:

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

We might get a 1-day mission extension, taking the mission duration to 17 days! :thumbup:

STS-134 UPDATE: Potential for Mission extension by one day, to be discussed at MMT.

[Spacethingy]

You know what? Before those photos come, I reckon we should make a packet o' cash with those screenshots, they're so good... :lol:

Just kidding...

It's quite incredible actually seeing the ISS from the perspective of something next to it - not on it or in it. Can't wait for the photos... (Real ones, not bootleg Orbiter ones...)

I smell someone going "uh-oh" in Houston...:shifty:

I'm hearing some worried murmurs from contacts -- the separation image cards can't seem to be found. Anybody know more?

One of the guys we know coming off shift at MCC-H saying no sign of the Soyuz photos yet. Uh oh.

Super-intergalactic-facepalm. That would be one of the most embarrassing blunders of all time! Have they tried down the back of the seat?

 

[Yoda]

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

That would be a major cluster F... !!!!!
Seriously; you have got to be kidding me !!!!!!!
That would be the greatest screw up in space flight history !!!

I think the Grissom, Chaffee and White families (amongst many others) would disagree with you there. We may have lost a few pretty pictures, let's not overdramaticise it.

On the subject of the photos, as I understand it, they took a camera and lens (lenses?) into the Soyuz to take the photos, then left the camera in the service module to burn up. Anyone know what camera/lenses burnt up in the atmosphere and if this is the first time they've left cameras to burn up on reentry?
