• Support A tiny number of dust specks in the shadows really don't hold back much. Good quality for colour film of the era (I've seen better indoor shots with colour film of the era, but outdoor shots with moving objects?). Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 16:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

• Support Dramatic and interesting shot with solid EV. It would be good though if more details could be added to the caption here and at Commons, though the NASA caption is rather sparce. In particular, it appears that the B-52 is probably the aircraft that dropped the HL-10 for its flight (note the equipment under its right wing). Nick-D (talk) 23:20, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
