Even if you're not a manned space and astronomy enthusiast as I have been since...well...birth, I think it would be hard not to appreciate photographs like this and the view of our world.

Lighting a bit one dimensional though :-)

Yeah.... would be amazing to be able to get out of the thin atmosphere that me and anyone I know has always been limited to..... It's not in my lifetime but maybe one day.

I downloaded one of the hi-res original images from the second link I posted and up-sized it to 300 dpi using Perfect Resize 7 (formally Genuine Fractals) and than cropped it to my screen resolution of 1920x1200 px. I also did a slight high pass sharpening and saved as a jpeg. My new wallpaper for now, and it looks awesome on my 24 inch monitor. :)
