“For 15 years now, station crews have been taking photographs of the Earth and inside activities,” said NASA astronaut and Expedition 47 Flight Engineer Jeff Williams. “A remarkable milestone was just now reached. Three million photos have been taken over the life of the International Space Station. We marked the milestone with a shot of the current international crew of this orbital outpost.”
