There is probably no life like it on Earth after that.

Astronaut Dale Gardner, having just completed the major portion of his second extravehicular activity (EVA) period in three days, holds up a "For Sale" sign referring to the two satellites, Palapa B-2 (Indonesian Telecomm) and Westar 6 (Western Union geosync) that they retrieved from orbit after their Payload Assist Modules (PAM) failed to fire. Astronaut Joseph P. Allen IV, who also participated in the two EVAs, is reflected in Gardner's helmet visor. A portion of each of two recovered satellites is in the lower right corner, with Westar 6 nearer Discovery's aft. 14 November 1984

That pic is awesome in so many ways. I should see if I can't find a print of it. I'd love to have it up on a wall.
