A Diversion to Space

What a great picture (made by an Italian astronaut BTW). And what a nice blog you have made!
Thanks, Rob, for the kind support!
That's a neat photo. I wonder what kind of camera he was using.
Paolo Nespoli used a Nikon D3X (with a 24-120mm lens) (worth about $8000). Since at the Soyuz the astronauts have to shed excess baggage the Nikon was thrown away into space (where it eventually will burn up when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere). See this blog.
