Space Forum / Shuttle / September 2006

There have been some really nice images returned from space over
the past few years.  Who can forget those shots of Atlantis docked
to/and departing from Mir on STS-71?  
    I read a recent thread talking about the American reluctance to
have the shuttle attached to the ISS during a Soyuz docking.  And, as
expected, Atlantis split before TMA-9 arrived.  
    Are there ANY plans to record shots of a shuttle docked to the
station before the end of the program?  I dislike the term 'eye
candy', but it would make for one hell of a shot, even if the shuttle
then departed to allow the Soyuz to dock.  Seems a pretty small risk
for a wonderful reward.  Images are what remind us what space
exploration is all about, after all.
