The Final Solution:

Answer by William:

The answer to the picture puzzle is Astronaut Tamara E. Jerigan, mission specialist, backdropped over the Aegian Sea as she handles the American built crane which she later helped to install on the ISS during the May 30 space walk. Jernigan's feet are anchored to a mobile foot restraint connected to the Discovery's Canadian built remote manipulator system (RMS). Parts of Greece, Turkey, and the Dardenelles are visible some 171 nautical miles below the docked tandem of Discovery and the ISS.

Scoring is based on accuracy of content and context (5 points are possible on each question).
