CID post-impact 1.jpg[edit]

NASA crashes a remotely piloted Boeing 720.
Cropped. Please do not modify the original image as I would like the images in the article to be as close to NASA originals as possible.

Explosions and fire, a remotely piloted airplane, and science; it doesn't get much better than that. This picture is used in Controlled Impact Demonstration and comes from the Dryden Flight Research Center inside Edwards Air Force Base, California. Triddle 17:30, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Support This is a striking image. TomStar81 18:54, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Illustrates article well. I have a similar demo video that shows a giant dump truck ramming at full speed into a short "impenetrable barrier" and being stopped immediately... couldn't find any high-res pics of it though. --brian0918™ 19:06, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Abstain - try cropping the image into a square or a letterbox - the content is good, but the framing is undramatic. - Pioneer-12 23:01, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Support (cropped image) - looks good now. Nice job. - Pioneer-12 23:26, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Great pic --Fir0002 10:24, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Abstain I have a real hard time deciding on this one. Circeus 15:10, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

*Object -- framing does not do the image justice. Would change my vote to support if framing was improved. - Longhair | Talk 03:50, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Support -- as promised, changing my vote to support (for the cropped, reframed version). Now we're talking FP. - Longhair | Talk 11:05, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support (especially the cropped version), looks great to me. --Spangineer 19:52, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Explosions - mmmmmmm! Denni 17:29, 2005 May 1 (UTC)
  • Support either, although I might prefer the wider shot. -- Solipsist 07:56, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
