Attired in training versions of their shuttle launch and entry suits, these seven astronauts take a break from training to pose for the STS-131 crew portrait. Seated are NASA astronauts Alan Poindexter (right), commander; and James P. Dutton Jr., pilot. Pictured from the left (standing) are NASA astronauts Rick Mastracchio, Stephanie Wilson, Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Naoko Yamazaki and NASA astronaut Clayton Anderson, all mission specialists.

I think the poster would look better if they wore the shades they had in the Exp. 16 poster (the Matrix-themed one). It looks nice though!

It was recently pointed out to me that the STS-131 crew poster was based on the movie poster for "Armageddon."

Does any one else see a silhouette of a famous mouse in the first picture? Of course an active mind will make patterns out of random objects like clouds and stars, but the ratio looks close to me.

It certainly looks like a photo from a bad sci-fi movie, and speaking of Armageddon...

I have to get myself a copy of this poster. So, does that mean Clay would be "Rockhound" in the film?

The movie is still a guilty pleasure for me as I love to pop it in and crank it just for the shuttle night launch footage.

Glad I'm not the only one for the launch stuff.
