Love the converging lines and the position of the vanishing point.
Subject choice could be a bit more creative though.

They should have this sign up in space so astronauts could take note of that!!
I often see them floating around in their craft, even though they are travelling at 100,000 mph as they circle the earth.
Blatant disregard for safety!

Astronauts hear the little ding-dong chime when they've covered their first million miles, THEN they can unbuckle their belts. :evilgrin:
