premise: George Pearinsky, the first European of Polish decent in space, took the brochure ('album' was just too much of an overstatement) and barked under his nose 'I didn't pay 200,000 to look at pictures.' But he had to admit that seen from that distance, Mother Earth looked particularly bad.
hypothesis: George grabbed the brochure out of his captain's hand to tell that the didn't pay good money for pictures.
