It boggles my mind that the astronauts are able to do work in space like this! It is literally breathtaking for me.
Once again, thanks for all you do to keep these images flowing into my favorites space folder Phil!

Oh what I would give to be that astronaut... thats the mark of a good image, putting you in the place. Nice work. What happened to the 1024x768 option? I'd love to be able to use this as my wallpaper in native resolution.
