That is a nice one. I love the idea of space and the human race exploring it. I hope the private sector will step up and start to invest somehow in exploration now that the U.S. has scuttled the shuttle program.

Any idea how they got that shot?
Great question and the answer from the site i got the picture is

Credit:​
NASA
Explanation:
How was this picture taken? Usually, pictures of the shuttle, taken from space, are snapped from the space station. Commonly, pictures of the space station are snapped from the shuttle. How, then, can there be a picture of both the shuttle and the station together, taken from space? The answer is that during the Space Shuttle Endeavour's last trip to the International Space Station two weeks ago, a supply ship departed the station with astronauts that captured a series of rare views. The supply ship was the Russian Soyuz TMA-20 which landed in Kazakhstan later that day. The above spectacular image well captures the relative sizes of the station and docked shuttle. Far below, clouds of Earth are seen above a blue sea. The next and last launch of a US space shuttle is scheduled for early July.
