Eye-candy pictures w/o science is just mindless eye-candy.

Eye-candy w/o deductive observationology is just worth squat.

Eye-candy w/o reason or logic for discovery of whatever's new and
improved is columbiaaccidentinvestigation having another happy face
experience (either that or simply another bout of flatulence that
about to blow).

As you should know, you don't even have to use color film or full
spectrum color rendering CCDs in order to appreciate color as obtained
from a given monochrome format, but don't tell that to anyone of NASA/
Apollo because it'll just ruin another part of their ruse/sting of our
mutually perpetrated cold-war days, that are still not over until our
fat lady sings.

As I'd said, unlike yourself, I'm looking for extracting actual
science, and not mindless infomercial crapolla that's intended for
snookering humanity for all it's worth. Perhaps you should try it.
It's called sharing "the whole truth and nothing but the truth", plus
a little something or another about God.

Laughing, I have explained with citations the specifics of what
actually makes the images you are viewing on your screen or that is
produced from your printer, how the human perceives the colors
contained within those images, and you have decided to post weak
attempts at insults, petty questions, all laced with lame
implications, but containing no relevance to the subject. My friend
there is no doubt you have skills in many fields, im not disputing
that, but it would do you some good to drop the rhetoric and fluffy
padded wording, and then you might find it easier to understand how my
posts directly answer your questions, effectively counter you
attacks, and assertions (when they are relevant). So now what you
have said is the images I post links to are not scientific unless they
are accompanied by peer reviewed science so let's see, here is the
image from the last post, with a link to a page on geomorphology
describing region in the image...

So, you still got nothing. Don't worry, as others of your infomercial
and eye-candy selling kind of NASA perverts are as equally dumbfounded
past the point of no return. As of 8+ years ago, I too was exactly
as snookered as yourself.

yeah, predictable attempts to boost your ego, but i have gotten you on

You're the man. Don't stop now. Keep those eye-candy pictures of
zilch science coming our way. Fifth graders are always interested in
such eye-candy and infomercial spewed science that can't be peer
replicated without those faith-based strings attached.

BTW, I get 4000+ hits a week. How about yourself (excluding my
contributions), how many average looks or hits per week does the
Google account utility 'My Groups' report the author
"columbiaaccidentinvestigation" is getting?

I post a few and at times most everything about Google Groups drags
down to its knees, if not going dead in the water (sort of speak).

Wow! such nifty eye-candy. Where's the science that's not of equal or

Astronaut Photography - Observing Earth's Systems from Space
by Rebecca Dodge in collaboration with NASA scientists
Dynamic Events
It is not a coincidence that thunderstorms rising through Earth's
Atmosphere were the first picture taken from the ISS - understanding
the impact of clouds and other dynamic atmospheric phenomena such as
hurricanes as they relate to climate change is a principal challenge
for the 21st century. As part of Crew Earth Observation Program's
"Dynamic Events" theme Astronauts will photograph hurricanes, which
can also hold personal interest for the ISS astronauts. Hurricane Lili
shut down Houston's Mission Control on October 2, 2002, delaying the
launch of the Space Shuttle carrying visitors and supplies for the
ISS. The astronauts made good use of the delay, tracking and
photographing the hurricane as it approached landfall. The photographs
below7, taken with different lenses to obtain regional and detailed
views of the storm, show Lili strengthening and growing rapidly
between successive late afternoon orbits. Between orbits Lili's winds
increased in speed from approximately 120 knots (upper photographs) to
125 knots (lower photographs), characteristic of a strong category 4
hurricane. This sequence highlights the short time frame required for
the ISS to be in position to reacquire a target; at higher latitudes
astronauts on the ISS can photograph a dynamic target several times in
one day, in cooperation with ground and airborne observers.
...
Astronaut observations will be critical resources for atmospheric and
other Earth system research studies; the oblique viewing angles
offered by ISS presents a three-dimensional perspective not available
from automated satellite sensors. Astronaut can also observe dynamic
phenomena repeatedly in a much shorter time frame than automated
satellites with similar resolution.

Dust Storms:
Astronaut observations have opened whole new avenues of research into
previously-undocumented connections among disparate elements of the
Earth System. For example, the connection between desertification in
the Sahel of North Africa and the decline of coral reefs in the
Caribbean was not documented until astronauts observed and
photographed large dust clouds in the atmosphere over the Caribbean
Sea. According to Dr. Tony Phillips of NASA's Marshall Space Flight
Center,..."

In other words, more of the same spendy eye-candy w/o science.

Nothing of ISS is any better off than via terrestrial aerial obtained
images of Earth. In fact, ISS is offering at least a hundred fold
less resolution, and it obviously can not remain on station.

Why is it, that the raw original image format of those 18 mb files are
never made available to the public?

What are they trying to hide, besides all of those those good looking
stars that are unavoidably recorded along with Earth?

Why is there still, after all this time, no public ISS exterior video
w/o filters?

What are they so afraid of seeing?

Laughing, my last post described the benefits of having astronauts
capturing dynamic events such as dust storms which effect earths
climate, but since you seem to have skipped over it I will post it
again..

So, there never will be any public access to those original full (aka
all-inclusive) format image files of 18 mb each. Figures, doesn't it,
we only get to see those few eye-candy shots as doctored images
because ??????????????
