Check out the dash on the full high-res version...

Wonder if it's hooked up to the in-shuttle sound system?

I'd have thought it would have a good stereo at that price

cool find, those pics are so clear

The pictures are clean because there's no dirty atmosphere between the lens and the subject, and NASA spend a bit more then Ł50 on their digital cameras

It's the North end of the South island of New Zealand.

(i.e. Nelson down to Christchurch)

Sounds like a "no they haven't really been to space" conspiracy starting

Agreed 100% - i recognise Nelson and the Cook Straight there. Wellington is just off pic above the shuttle. I'm hoping to emigrate over there and have been looking at Nelson myself so looked at plenty of maps recently
