  • Oppose. Same reasoning as Challenger's final crew candidacy. Redquark 19:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Just a group shot like a million others. Not striking, and I fail to see what information this conveys other than the gender and skin color of the astronauts. Just because an image has a connection to a famous historical event doesn't mean it deserves to be featured.
  • Oppose Not striking, not a great photo. HighInBC 19:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - a fine photographic with plenty of encyclopedic and historical value (as with the other).--ragesoss 20:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Support per other photograph --Tobyw87 23:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. As above. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 23:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
    • This image simply is not iconic in the same way that the existing FP of the explosion is.
  • Oppose as above. --Janke | Talk 06:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
    • No "wow" factor.
  • Oppose Same as above. --Midnight Rider 22:51, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Even thought it is kind of encyclopedic, it is still really quite boring. There is nothing out of the ordinary about this picture and it is not really appealing to look at.
  • Support Very encyclopedic, historical, and all around important. | AndonicO 23:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Per others above. say1988 01:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
