Hi all,
I thought we should have a thread with all the major-publication publicized images and APOD's made by UMSF members. We really bring Space to the public and we should be proud of it! I would like for each entry to contain: 1) a <100kb photo of the image itself + its name. 2) a link to the real-size image. 3) the UMSF user name(s) of the creators. 4) a link to the UMSF thread(s) where the image is presented/discussed. I want to list the images chronologically, so if you can help me out with thread contributions in the above-described format, I'll insert those contributions to this first posting. Thanks a lot, and here goes: --------------------   “Spirit” cover on Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazine: 14 November 2005.

As one who used to do a pretty good Sagan impression, my only concern is that in your story he didn't say "billions."

QUOTE (ElkGroveDan @ Nov 6 2010, 12:15 PM)  ...he didn't say "billions." There's a whole section on this in Wikipedia! He actually said "billions" a lot. And I'm sure he eventually ended up saying "billions and billions" later on, by request. "...his frequent use of the word billions, and distinctive delivery emphasizing the "b".... made him a favorite target of comic performers.... and his final book was entitled Billions and Billions which opened with a tongue-in-cheek discussion of this catch phrase...." You can actually read his "discussion of this catch phrase" in the Amazon "Look Inside!" function. Click on "first pages" on the left. http://www.amazon.com/Billions-Thoughts-De...ader_0345379187 |

The hell of it is that no matter how many times he said "billions" he was still generally understating most things astronomical...
 Boy, there was sure no one like him before or since, and we were so extremely lucky to have him. Peace, Carl. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Extremely well-deserved, Gordan. That image is my work computer desktop so I can explore it during slow moments!
