21 Greatest-Ever Space Photos

A couple of the images have an interesting story. The Apollo 9 shot, was a little bit of a fluke. Rusty Schweickart took the shot as he waited for Dave Scott to fix a camera. This gave him three minutes to just take photo's and enjoy the view! He never went back into space ad he suffered space sickness. He still counts the three minutes watching the world go by as one of the most amazing moments in his life.

The photo of Joe Kittinger free falling reminded me that one of things that happened on the way up was his suit sprung a leak, so he covered it with his hand and didn't tell anyone! On the way down for two and half minutes he fell through space and the only thing he could hear was the sound of his breathing and his heartbeat!

Great photo's!
