Here's the info for NASA's official photo: quote:
JSC2006-E-47144 (31 Oct. 2006) --- A few hours after NASA Administrator Michael Griffin today from Goddard Space Flight Center announced the astronauts selected for the final shuttle mission to perform work on the Hubble Space Telescope, the crew met the news media at the Johnson Space Center. From left to right are astronauts Michael T. Good, Andrew J. Feustel, K. Megan McArthur, Michael J. Massimino, John M. Grunsfeld, Gregory C. Johnson and Scott D. Altman. Altman will command the final space shuttle mission to Hubble, and Johnson will serve as pilot for his initial spaceflight. Mission specialists include veteran spacewalkers Grunsfeld and Massimino and first-time space fliers Feustel, Good and McArthur.
The order of the names does not look right.IP: Logged |

Very early! We now now have the portraits out for 4 future flights (122-125)!  Download the high resolution version (1.6mb) These seven astronauts take a break from training to pose for the STS-125 crew portrait. From the left are astronauts Michael J. Massimino, Michael T. Good, both mission specialists; Gregory C. Johnson, pilot; Scott D. Altman, commander; K. Megan McArthur, John M. Grunsfeld and Andrew J. Feustel, all mission specialists. The STS-125 mission will be the final space shuttle mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. (NASA photo: STS125-S-002) IP: Logged |

Spaceflight Awareness does print posters for display around the NASA centers and sometimes distributes them to employees.IP: Logged |

Such picture is a nice way to make space look "cool" (remember NASA has a PR problem). But you would first have to remember the movie's poster (I didn't) and the movie itself (which was, if I recall, pretty pathetic - Ocean's 11 was ok but twelve?). I know it's a matter of personal taste (and interest: I'm not too much into movies, so let's not even mention posters). But the effort is worth being supported! I think it's fun. Chris. IP: Logged |

I agree - and it wouldn't be the first time an astronaut image has reminded me of Reservoir Dogs - this Mercury image always seemed like a very close fit...
