Nearing the station:

Closer:

Even more closer:

Hard dock:

EVA coverage later.:lol:

Okay, seriously, I think my station is getting a little out of control. :lol:

Let me count the manned ships. 2 Shuttles, 1 Soyuz, 1 Antares SR, and 1 ESA CTV. Space for at least 2 more Soyuz/Progress craft, 1 more Antares, 2 more CTV/ATV craft, and 1 more shuttle or ETS.

Like the external cargo rack on the Titan module? :lol:

Titan module says total mass right now is 895 metric tons. Assuming a total average of $10,000/kg across all launchers used, this ridiculous thing cost the taxpayers of the world $8,950,000,000. That's it?

Undocking over a familiar island:

Speaking of docking over familiar islands...

and a familiar moon happens to be peeking out.

What's that thing in the cargo bay?

My one is approximately half of that. So my station would cost $4,475,000,000. Anyway, "live" EVA coverage of the Expedition 1 spacewalk:

Here is an UMMU walking on the solar panels:

After the UMMU finished waiting for Houston to finish paperwork, it started work on the cable systems:

That, my friend, would be Scopesat V2 - The TelescopeMFD satellite.

The XR5 doesn't quite dwarf CSS anymore.

Speaking of the XR5. Here's some more nerd fuel.

Ok accidental undocking so now uh........... Get that thing out of the cargo bay and run!

Why do you blur the shuttle so much? I would get it if you wanted the shuttle to look out of focus, like if it was in the background. Being the focal point of the picture, it should be in focus. Unless the ISS is what you are trying to focus on, but the eye is definitely draw to the large, bright shuttle first. Either way, kind of gives me a headache trying to look at the shuttle.

Obviously he was using a cheap point-and-shoot, and it auto focused on the Earth in the background...although since at the time he was probably frantically searching through his flight plan for the "Accidentally pressed Ctrl-D" contingency, I suppose we can't really blame him for sloppy camera work
