I wish I was going to live into the era when this is happening. I seriously want to see the earth from space. Ten days on the ISS would be great.

Somewhere up a space elevator/tether, perhaps?

If one were ever built, I expect it actually would have an observation deck, or at least they'd try bloody hard to include one. And it'd have a restaurant, too ... which would just have to be called, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe".

I don't want to be pedantic, BUT:

At this elongation the lunar crescent would be WAY thinner.
Plus what happened to the solar disk?

Flash, congrats on the 76! It will not disappoint I think.

I'd prefer the circumlunar flights that are supposed to be starting up in a couple of years.

Not quite sure what is causing the diffraction spikes on those stars.
