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.  |
