On September 22, 2010, with the departure of the Expedition 23 crew, Colonel Douglas H. Wheelock assumed command of the International Space Station and the Expedition 25 crew. He is also known as @Astro_Wheels on twitter, where he has been tweeting space photos to his followers since he arrived at the space station. We thought that we should put some of the space photos together as a tribute to him and the whole ISS crew. The space photos bring breathtaking views from our only off planet Vista point. The following space photos are all visible on Astro_Wheels’ twitpic account, and we are eternally grateful to him for sharing these space photos with the world. Many have commented directly to him but we want to make it clear Triggerpit does not have any affiliation with Astronaut Wheelock nor NASA. The confusion might have been since all the captions are all his own words as can also be seen on his twitpic account.[29 Pictures]

Go Discovery! It was October 23, 2007 at 11:40am EST when I had my first ride to space on Discovery. She’s beautiful… just sad that this will be her last voyage. Looking forward to climbing aboard the flight deck when Discovery arrives at the Space Station in November. (9-23-2010). Incredible Photos from Space: Larry Tanner, NASA.

          How do you know Phil is white? This is the problem with racism in America/the world. White people aren’t the only racists, everyone is a little racist! If you don’t think so, look at any form of media. If you can find a single “white only” program out there it would be impressive. (Don’t bother saying the KKK, cause there is a gay/black clan). So take a second and think before you say something that’s just as stereotypical as Phil.

      These pictures are wonderful and a real ligitimate use of taxpayers money. Beats the lack of beauty of war.. These pictures are just fantastic and words cannot do them the justice they deserve. War and peace are not very compatible. We cannot afford both being world police and #1 in everything. Not and maintain it endlessly anyway.

    Wow Some of those Photos were just beautifully stunning.

    And as for Allah, God, Zeus, Buda, The all mighty, The creator, The sun God, The watcher, Osiris, Ra.
    He goes by many names, some of the names I mention above where worship by some of the greatest civilisations known to man to date. So to call some one a dumb-ass for worshipping the God Allah is just so dumb that if my pet dog had a pet an it had a pet your intelligence would be now where near that of its pet dog…

    so the next time you call some one a dumb ass think long and hard about what you are calling them dumb for….

    Sadly this is just another ‘Stupid Human’ story.
    To me it’s sad that so much money and energy is wasted on extraterrestrial endeavor instead of addressing the human condition here on the planet.
    Oh look at the pretty glossies…. from far away the warts don’t show but they fester and grow. While we recycle our few grams of house hold waste
    the Corporations are pumping hundreds of thousands of tons of pollution into the environment in the name of greed and we overpopulate the planet

      Progress comes with a price…..if no-one had had the courage to do things that others said were crazy, foolish, childish, blasphemous, too expensive etc etc, we’d still be wearing animal skins and dying of infections that can be cured with penicillin. It’s the dreamers, the scientists and the explorers who have discovered everything that makes your life what it is. Don’t forget that. Yes, there are many things that need fixing with this planet but lets not stop moving forward and discovering.
      I applaud people who are pioneers and do what others only dream of. At least someone is out there reaching for the stars………in this case quite literally!

      Absolutely, cljoyner…In fact…In this age of technology…There is NO REASON why the American People can not vote on ALL aspects of our government…Abolish Congress & allow True government “BY THE PEOPLE”…I suppose we would have to keep the Justice department & the Executive branch…As central command…But only if the People have the final vote…

    The Magnificence and beauty of the Universe is such, that any invented terrestrial god (Allah, Buddha, Christ, Krishna or any other fantasy) can be easily discarded…..

    There are few words and a veritable flood of emotions and thoughts conjured by your stunning and mind-blowing photographs. Amazing and Soul-stirring come to mind.

    Thank you so much for sharing these, I’ve always wanted to go out just once in my lifetime and perhaps it will happen, perhaps not – but this glimpse warms my heart and your quoting the great Satchmo (Louie Armstrong himself) with that one image brought a great big smile to my face. Makes one wonder why more people can’t get a little shift in perspective and choose to live a better life and stop all the irrational hatred and wastage of lives, resources and time.
    The things we could achieve, if only…

    Anyway, thanks again, you guys and those like you who strive for taking mankind further and working for a better tomorrow and pushing the boundaries of human endeavour are my true heroes and I salute you and bow my head in respect and admiration.

    Cheers.
