Thats great.

yes, that's great, but shopped like hell

Ya, it definitely looks like they had the cockpit shot first and shopped in the view. A flash shot of the inside would not pick up those stars like that, or that level of detail on the Earth for that matter.

Huh? What? The flash is fill to light the cockpit to match the outside, it's not "lighting the earth and stars".

It's a hell of a lot brighter in space than it is on earth; in the last 50 years light levels have dropped 10-30% across the globe thanks to particle pollution.

The image doesn't look shopped at all; if it is, it's a damn fine job, as the grain appears to match perfectly. The only thing that was fishy was that some of the gauges didn't seem right to a total layman (look at the top panels...for example, the fuel cell stack temperature is way lower than the green zone marked on the gauge, the atmospheric pressure gauges seem off, etc.)

Come on guys; this is a shop. Its cool and all but seriously. You can't see a visible stellar disk from Earth's orbit, just points of light. Those stars are freakin' beach balls. Not to mention the fact that this magic camera somehow brought both the foreground cockpit, the distant Earth, and the even more distant stars all into perfect focus.

I won't even bother to point out the fact that all of the tags hanging from various toggle switches are hanging uniformly 'downwards,' as though some force was pullin...oh yeah. GRAVITY.

I can also tell from the pixels, and because i've seen quite a few shops in my time.

The background is a composite, this is a photo of Atlantis taken in mid 2000 not long after it was refitted with a glass cockpit. This photo was not taken while the ship was in flight, I mean seriously, the pilot and commander's seats are missing as well is the flight sticks.

The picture is a composite, the earth and stars are a genuine picture with a genuine picture overlayed. There is no atmosphere in space, thus points of light appear highly saturated on film. Learn to research.

Whoa tiger; you should do a little research of your own. Especially into the definition of saturation and its relation to atmosphere(?). While you're out there, have a gander at fun words...words like 'exposure.'

And lets not forget a quick field trip to NASA, where you can witness first hand the amazing 'digital camera,' the modern marvel that has bankrupted honest businesses like "Major Tom's 1 Orbit Photo."

any more cockpit shots?

sorry for the nasty small screen cap.

I never used the word 'saturation' in relation to the appearance of the atmosphere. I used the word 'saturation' in relation to the rendering of the stars in the image. Read.

Oh and as for the digital camera bullshit, a star in no atmosphere will appear just as OVEREXPOSED (happy now?) in a digital image as it would on film. Both methods are photosensitive, they simply use the light in different ways when 'creating' the image.

"There is no atmosphere in space, thus points of light appear highly saturated on film."

If you had read the quote you spammed, you'd realise I'm talking about the way it appears on film. There's a difference between real life, and film, btw. Ya rly.
