Re: NO, not at all...
Maariv's picture made the whole world's newspapers claiming it was the left wing.
Even our astronaut Dirk Frimout came forward the next day to say it wasn't the wing.
It was fascinating to see disinformation at work! A real lesson on how quickly journalists trust each other without a second look.
The picture show the Shuttle's rear side of the flightdeck. And the black cylinder is a device upon which the payload bay doors rest when they are closed.
