Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/NASA Helios Prototype

Original - The NASA Helios Prototype was an unmanned solar powered aircraft that crashed in 2003.
Reason
NASA produced a series of experimental unmanned aircraft for use in atmospheric research. The most recent was the Helios Prototype. What I find fascinating is that this flew on solar power.

  • Oppose sure, it's an interesting aircraft and it can't be reshot due to the untimely ending of the Helios but in the era of DV and HD, I don't think this video at 352×240 with pretty poor contrast and color exemplifies the best that wikipedia or NASA can offer, there has to be some better footage of such a recent aircraft. The NASA link to the source is not working for me. Mfield (talk) 19:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Though I'm having some issues with my computer and cannot view the video, I have to note that the video is pretty low in the article in the See also section. I think it's current placement detracts from its use. (I'll comment on the video and !vote once I fix this issue). SpencerT♦C 19:09, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just viewed the video. It looks pretty cool and definitely makes me want to know more, I have to agree with Mfield on this one, but weakly enough, so I vote neutral. SpencerT♦C 01:55, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
