The Sun is Not What we We Have Been Told....

Yes, it seems to be cleared up in the commentary and on a nasa website link (though I do take everything with a grain of salt) that you do see stars in space, but the photos that mainly focus on astronauts and the space station aren't focused on the background and so the stars don't clearly show up. Makes sense, from my limited personal experience with cameras. The vast majority of commentators to the article seem to think it's a joke or should be taken down.
