The EXIF information says they used a D2X with a 200m lens :)
And edited it in Photoshop CS3.

Probably cool but when I click the link, firefox says this connection is untrusted!

I see you run in maximum web paranoia mode, too ...

It's the military - of course they're untrusted !
The website security certificate is not authorised by any of the usual certificate issuers like Thawte, you have to trust the military certficate.

The official camera of the ISS is the D2X.

Obviously, NASA knows quality!

Sorry, I couldn't resist! :-)

But they had it set to AUTO white balance! OMG!! :lol:

It's a good pic of cloud and atmosphere, but I could've lived without the addition of 2 small gold-colored circular objects. They don't do anything for me.
