Chris,
Gotta get out the big camera and snap some better pix.
These things are NOT easy to photograph well..lotsa reflections and blade angles.
BTW: Don't forget about Bill's astronaut career before his Senate Career. I found out his shuttle booster wasn't properly unlocked from the launchpad and as the story goes..when the boosters were recovered a huge chunk of launch pad concrete was still bolted onto it..with the bolt someone forgot to remove.
Never got the story confirmed by Nasa. Wouldn't surprise me at all.
