With a sudden “crack!” of pyrotechnics, a mockup of NASA’s Orion spacecraft released its grip on a set of cables and began a graceful, deliberate dive toward a pool 14 feet below.
Instead of an Olympic-style feat of athletics, it was a mighty stroke of engineering — and an essential step forward in NASA’s journey to Mars.
Onlookers gathered near the Hydro Impact Basin at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, applauded and cheered. They had just witnessed the simulated water landing of a space capsule, through the use of a 7.2-ton mockup covered with sensors capable of detecting forces that the structure and its astronaut crew would experience.

Its amazing how often you ride (or skateboard) past scenes that you don't pay much attention too. Then one day the light, or your mind, makes you take a second look. This is a case in point. Taken at the HBF arena on one of my morning Skateboard runs around Joondalup. They have just marked out the lanes for athletics and the light just made me notice how lovely and retro the pavilion is. The white sand is the long jump pit.
