[Diaspora] Blue collar space

[Brad Murray]

"Blue collar space" is a habit of mine that I will inflict on the
Diaspora mailing list. I used to just inflict it on the authors. When
I find an image that's about regular people in space making it less
about massive government project and more about some guy with a
wrench, I'll post it. Because the (potential) future of space
technology is the migration from government to corporate to personal.

That's us, humans, in space. Picture taken by an amateur astronomer
with a 10-inch 'scope, tracking manually. So that's what space
stations look like for real, manned by regular folks and imaged by
regular folks. And that arm is Canadian, made by people I work with
every day.
