I hope that it's the camera that's at an angle and not the tower

Does this look better?

If SLS isn't launched soon it will end up in a museum like this one did.

That's the spirit. We can't have people worry that SLS will fall over can we?

For those of you that have never viewed this photo before, I thought I'd share. I think it is simply stunning.

Orbital Sunrise...

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet took this photo of sunrise over the Indian Ocean from the International Space Station.

Because the station orbits Earth every 90 minutes, astronauts stationed there can see 15 sunrises per day.
