From digg. The crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavour took this spectacular image of the International Space Station during the STS118 mission, August 8–21, 2007. It almost looks fake. I can see how space can really mess with your depth perception.

Wow, that is true.  It almost looks fake, yet it is real....very cool though.

Awesome...sort of gives me a little perspective on just how minuscule that thing is compared to the Earth and the vastness of space. I think I would get cabin fever up there.

That's a beautiful shot.. but I'm with Jen.. not being able to go outside would drive me crazy.

Well, you can go outside, just not for very long and you won't be coming back in again.
