That is beautiful!
I saw these ISS photos a while ago, a volcano from above. Awesome!

It does look like a somewhat ethereal USS Enterprise, doesn't it.

As someone who knows all about 'duranium fastening rods', you may be right.

Exactly ... not that the (original) picture is not amazing as is without the Kirk Reloaded reference - couldn't resist.
