Shuttle-Mir

 * Reason:Because of a lack of images depicting the Russian space program in the Aeronautics and aviation section. This image depicts a historic event, the first docking of a Space Shuttle to a space station (Mir), and is a one-of-a-kind because this is the only time that a manned spacecraft was undocked from a space station while a Space Shuttle was still docked to the same space station. (The current mission rules of the International Space Station make this type of image impossible to obtain)

 * Note: This image is currently on Commons. Since I am rather inpet with images, would someone who deals with images regularly deal with the process of placing on the image page? -MBK004 06:35, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Create the page here and just paste the template. I have done this one --Muhammad (talk) 07:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It might have EV, and we might need a MIR image, but upon close inspection the quality of this image is awful.
 * Support per nom. I particularly like the composition.  I disagree with the unsigned comment above-- this is the level of sharpness that you get with space mission images.  Spikebrennan (talk) 20:59, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose Good enough EV, but I don't really think it's FP quality. Makeemlighter (talk) 00:22, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
