I believe these photos are copyrighted, so I'll simply post the links.
A few fantastic Photos from NASA (URLs) :icon_biggrin:
It is possible that they are public domain, but I'm not sure. Better safe than sorry. Those guys have artillery!
This is probably worth investing a couple of minutes..

For the third photo, you may want to scroll down and read the paragraph which tells more about this ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH. All are actual photos, unretouched, I believe. : )
BTW, is this post out-of-bounds, or something that is fine to post in this OFF TOPIC area? Input, please. I think they are great, inspirational photos. Hope you do, too. : )
First two are definetly renderings. But all look sweet nonetheless. third one's definetly cool.
They all look like renderings to me, but yeah, they are pretty sweet.
Well, I did a bit more research and apparently they are all real photos. I see four that are given a Lockheed-Martin photo credit.
Here's a link:

I can't even imagine what it would be like to actually see that with your own eyes first hand. So humbling. Simply amazing!!
