Who knew STS-131 commander Alan Poindexter would make such a good Bruce Willis? The 1998 action film Armageddon inspired graphic artist Cindy Bush to design the STS-131 crew poster in April 2010.
From left to right: Stephanie Wilson, Rick Mastracchio, Jim Dutton, Poindexter, Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger, Clay Anderson, and Japanese astronaut Naoko Yamazaki.

Is Frank De Winne looking a little pensive? Perhaps he has just remembered what traditionally happens to red-shirt crew members.

Regarding the Atlantis 125 poster, Scott Altman was the Navy Tomcat pilot that provided the in-flight middle finger in Top Gun.
