The Space Shuttle Discovery approaches the International Space Station for docking but before the link-up occurred, the orbiter "posed" for a thorough series of inspection photos. The Leonardo Multipurpose Logistics Module can be seen in the shuttle's cargo bay.

I still get a kick out of watching airplanes taking off and landing much less seeing a shuttle in action. Thanks for sharing this, Phil - it's amazing what man can do! - Patty

did you take over Lance Bass's training session? .. and that's why you were on hand to snap this

and, did you not call it .. "Vogue: strike a pose" .. because of your feelings for Madge?

thanks for doing the dirty work for us and skimming the cream
