Say Goodbye, Part 5

Today looks like a pretty dull day in Space Shuttle mission STS-135, so here are a couple of photos from yesterday. First up, a photo of Shuttle astronaut Ron Garan riding on the International Space Station's robotic arm while repairing that faulty fuel pump:

The second image is a lovely shot of the Atlantis cargo bay, as the crew gets ready to transfer supplies and parts from the Raffaello logistics module to the ISS:

It's hard not to be impressed by these pictures, and by the sophistication and scale of the technology that's part of the Shuttle and the ISS.
