Pretty Pictures from Space.
"Amazing time-lapse photos taken by Astronaut Don Pettit show star trails that will blow your mind."

LOL! Wow, that's a whole gaggle of people! Isn't that the most women in space at one time, or just together in space at the same time?

Just waiting for some one to Rule 36 that...

Sorry, if I just ruined your cloud 9.

As we're talking about babes in space...



My money's on the hawt-ter one (Left!), even if she's only a Captain. I suppose it depends on how much photography they can manage.

Who wha'? That was a reply to something over 2 years old from the beginning of the thread! I don't remember exactly, but I think that was actually a factual question, not a joke. I think it was the most women in space at one time ever in history or something. Anyway, nice post count for an 8 year old account!! Nice avatar too, I used to have one of Cyan in the Magitek armor.

LOL, when I first read it, I thought you said "talking about babies in space"! My first thought was "OMG CHINA, DON'T DO IT!! Zero grav baby wirr fair horrificarry!!"

Otherwise, I think your assumption is probably right. :/

Well, think about it - as a totalitarian country, they want to put the happiest/sexiest face they can on their effort.

Spoiler

Can't tell for certain if that's her academy photo or just a random Red Chinese Air Force cadet; there's a better pic of her at http://1.bp.blog (remove the blanks) spot.com/-Q9AWcAtJvFA/T7YFG4lau_I/AAAAAAAADQM/sTcm5a96EaY/s1600/china-astronaut-major-wang-yaping-lg.jpg

With all due respect to the Major (who is very possibly a more experienced pilot, RHIP), do they really want that face to be that of a haggard Buddhist nun? Or someone that could be played by Zhang Ziyi?




EDIT - for feck's sake, can "blog"-"spot" be removed from the word filter? Does the "enemy" D2 site even exist that was being targeted?

That's funny. 3 hours ago I noticed it for the first time as well when I wanted to present a "pigs in space" pic from that site as the answer of the US.

I'll bring this to Elly's attention and see if there's a viable solution.

Thanks - Not only did I run into the issue with trying to post the pic of the pretty Captain (in camouflage clothing), then I hit the same problem posting a pic of Ziyi, but THEN I ran into the same problem replying on the Occupy thread and the Internetz subsequently ate my response.

It's a vast left wing conspiracy.

Apparently against SpaceFlight!

Do you think the Chinese have space sex testing in mind?
