"Just 30 minutes ago we passed over the Mexican Gulf and we took a lot of pictures of this oil spot," space station commander Oleg Kotov, a Russian cosmonaut, told reporters on Earth via a video link.

"It looks very scary," Kotov said. "It's not good. I really feel ... not good about that.

Well there isn't going to be any redfish with a fly rod any time soon. Thanks BP!!! Where is Obama. All he does is talk. Send send the navy to the area. It's time to collapse this leak with exsplosives. They are not trying to stop the leak. BP is trying to save it. If they were it would be stopped by now.

I work in heavy industrial sewage and I can tell you one thing there are more backup valves than you can count if there is a problem! They have no one to police them and its scary! We can put a remote control car on mars but we cant stop a leak! Give me a break folks! I hope BP pays for it all and they file chapter 11!

There is one mean looking face in the upper middle portion of this picture... It's a sign from hell.. OUR EARTH IS DONE!!! Glad to see the possibility of guiding in the gulf turn to shit. This tragedy is nothing better than a disaster that would take out all human kind entirely. Thank you to all who are trying, and I HOPE YOU DIE A MISERABLE DEATH to all who are involved and don't care. So much life has been taken from this catastrophy and all we can do is hope for a future of recovery.

Makes you sick doesn't it? BP's stockholders are more worried about their bank accounts than the far-reaching environmental impacts of a company gone 'out to lunch'.
