Default New Shuttle photos - high rez

I don't believe that NASA has yet posted these ISS-Discovery shots.
Pretty damned spiffy! One of the advantages of not being a Maxson is
that you can get hold of these thigns...

I mean if you're going to pull the Freedom-of-speech card, don't be a hack, come up with something interesting. Fashion Old Glory into a wisecracking puppet and blister the system with a scathing ventriloquism act, or better yet, drape the flag over your head and desecrate it with a large caliber bullet hole."

On one of the EVA's, Robinson said "it's a work of art" about the tiles.
He's right.

Hmm. http://www.up-ship.com/apr/extras/ST...efromISS10.jpg

What's the red triangle next to the port upper window? A warning label
of some form, I assume, but...

It's a Will Robinson ("Danger Danger") triangle.

I think that's related to the jettisonable upper panel used for crew
escape if it has to ditch.
What's the black area at the base of the starboard middle cockpit window
frame? It looks like a couple of the densified belly tiles.

Boy, that's some detailed shot! That's the first good photo I've ever
seen of the star trackers on-orbit.
That tile layout makes a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle look simple by comparison.

How big are the originals for those shuttle drawings and where can I get a
copy? :-)

Isn't that triangle next to the overhead window that can be blown out?

Probably pretty damned big. The closest I have to the originals is a
pack of something like ten of these drawings, already scanned in...
gigantic friggen files, many times bigger'n these.
