He's taking pictures for fun and sharing them. Not for science, but for posterity or public interest, or "cool, look what I got to see". He's posting them for free. From the FUCKING SPACE STATION. 200 miles straight up in the air, traveling at 27 THOUSAND miles per hour, and is able to take pictures and post them on the internet. "Could you please move your hat sir, you're obscuring my view," is a reasonable request. "Could you please move your 300 tonne vehicle out of the way so I can see a few blurry colored pixels that a small part of your SPACE STATION is blocking, without which we wouldn't be able to see the picture at all," this is ridiculous.

Thank you Soichi, thank you from 6.5 billion people on planet earth, except for "Ungrounded Lightning". For some reason he thinks he's an art critic, or the Space Lord Mothermother, or that you can lift an X-wing out of a swamp with the wave of your hand.

Hopefully this puts it in perspective (choose one)
