Steve Robinson turns the camera on himself during his historic repair job underneath Discovery. The Shuttle's heat shield, where Robinson removed a pair of protruding gap fillers, is reflected in his visor.

BTW - if you were curious as to what kind of camera it is under all of that thermal cladding - it's an older model Kodak DSLR (DCS660) with standard Nikon lenses - which was discontinued and replaced quite some time ago. By current standards it's virtually an antique I guess, but seams to be able to do the business and is still NASA's weapon of choice....

The way to know life is to love many things. .:Van Gogh:. Do you need an Angel?
That has to be one of the most amazing photos I have ever seen. Really puts things into perspective in a universal sense. Fantastic. 10/10 and into my favorites!

"This existence of ours is as transient as Autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is a flash of lightning in the sky. Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain. "

He he, great title! (at least after you've seen "Casablanca")
About NASA using old equipment: I think they do that a lot, because they really need to set reliability before anything (its pretty hard to get spare parts up there). I remember reading about when they upgraded the processor of Hubble - to a 486, which was already then something of a dinosaur, because they knew it would work in outer space.
