- Oppose Sorry, it's just a bad case of awful Photoshopping. I don't even think they used a green screen. Not that great of quality. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 07:45, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- Isn't that just a painted backdrop? Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- I really don't think so. I vote green screen (the backdrop shows through the woman's hair in one area). But there's a blue shadow/halo around almost everyone and I don't understand why. I can't find that halo in any other STS crew shot I checked. Some of them are really well done, others not.
- STS-5, real-life model?
- STS-36, my guess is rear-projection. The film grain matches. Seems like a stretch, but they get pretty creative later on.
- STS-39 Several of these photos "cheat" with the black background, but the clever lighting impresses me.
- STS-127, green screen again, I'm guessing.
- STS-132 Almost embarrassingly bad, but super easy "Star Wars cheat" (black background)
- STS-131 this one is so awesome, I would support an FP nom of it! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 05:57, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- I suppose you're right. I suppose the question, then, is whether each STS mission is important enough to be worth an FP on encyclopedic value alone, since, barring other group photos of the same crew from the mission, these will be hard to replace on the STS-mission scale.

- I don't see why not? But this is kind of treading into territory I don't consider myself familiar enough with—like how many FPs of the space shuttle are !allowed. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 20:29, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
