There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Now THAT would be a hell of a HALO jump. You'd have to pack a lunch !
I knew I had taken this picture.....
In weightlessness it is difficult to move heavy things. The force to start the movement will be equally large on your body. When you want to stop the movement you will have to apply force again which will also make your body move.
That's why the Belgian and Dutch have developed a sort of camera tri-pod which can be mounted in the cupola from the International Space Station. In the place where I work we have a clean room in which all items which will be introduced in the European part from ISS will have a fit and compatibility check, before they are moved to ISS.
When I was in this cleanroom in December last year I discovered the tri-pod which will be mounted in the cupola to support the cameras. With some imagination you see the shape of a half cupola with the bracket mounted. There is no camera on the bracket.
I assume this item has been taken to ISS by the European astronaut Luca Parmitano last May. So you can expect better quality pictures due to some Belgian and Dutch engineering....
