Tracy Caldwell Dyson in Cupola

Reason: Beautiful picture of a human looking at the Earth from space. Both the plain-clothed human and the round Earth are more identifiable that the usual image of a human in a space suit or a straight-down view from Earth orbit. Greatly enhances the Cupola article by demonstrating the module's unique value.

Strong support I find this to be a simply amazing, eye-catching image. It looks like something Hollywood would have made. I also motion that we suggest to Howcheng that he have this picture jump the 1-year-plus queue and feature this within a month or two after (when / if) it is promoted.

Support with both hands and legs. Stunning composition. Agree with Greg L about queue jump. Twilightchill t 12:27, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Greg... I however don't agree with the queue jump - Howcheng should be left to decide things like that himself... It's a great picture yes, but so are others that get promoted... I don't understand the urgency of promoting this to the head of the queue... gazhiley.co.uk 13:23, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- My motion is just to pass along the *suggestion* to Howcheng. Wikipedia is a hobby for everyone and somewhat of a club for many—with great latitude to do as we please for maximum fun. Nothing is forcing us to behave on FPC as if the rod up our butts has a rod up it’s butt. Howcheng is always free to do what he will after the suggestion (or idea) is passed along from other club members. Greg L (talk) 17:32, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - True, but why push this over the rest? what makes this that special? gazhiley.co.uk 22:02, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support too bad it's noisy, but given the original lighting conditions, that's fine. Purpy Pupple (talk) 17:13, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support, though I can't say I'm as excited as Greg :P J Milburn (talk) 18:10, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
