• Oppose - Grainy, dubious EV in my opinion. I'm not sure if it's very useful in either of the articles it is in. Intothewoods29 (talk) 17:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose per Intothewoods. It's pretty, but it's not particularly illustrative of either electron or Space Shuttle, and it has some technical shortcomings as well.--ragesoss (talk) 19:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
