A "slight" modification of LEGO's original design. This hard suit was built from scratch, however, I did try to mimic the original style and color scheme.

The Advanced Plant Habitat on the International Space Station celebrates the Fourth of July with its LED lights, displaying an American flag pattern. Roughly the size of a mini-fridge, the habitat is designed to test which growth conditions plants prefer in space and provides specimens a larger root and shoot area. This space in turn will allow a wider variety of crops to grow aboard the station.
The habitat is equipped with a monitoring system, the Plant Habitat Avionics Real-Time Manager, or PHARMER, that provides real-time telemetry, remote commanding and photo downlink to the team at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The system records data from its 180 sensors, including water usage, carbon dioxide levels, light levels, temperature, humidity and oxygen in the growth chamber, and temperature, humidity and oxygen levels in the plant root systems, and sends it back to Kennedy for analysis. #4thofJuly2018

Dizzyingly complex orbits charted across space as part of ESA’s winning entry in the last Global Trajectory Optimisation Competition. This international contest challenges the world’s best aerospace engineers and mathematicians to set the course of a space mission to solve a nearly impossible problem.
Popularly known as the ‘America’s Cup of rocket science’, GTOC-8 was won by past and present members of ESA’s Advanced Concepts Team thinktank. This victory gave them the right to devise and oversee this year’s challenge.
“The precise details of the new GTOC-9 competition will be kept under wraps until we formally launch it in the first week of April,” comments Dario Izzo, ACT scientific coordinator. “But we can already announce that this year’s competition will have one big difference: any interested group, company or individual will be free to enter.
“This is because it is being run through the ACT’s Kelvins website, a portal dedicated to hosting public aerospace challenges, which will enable automatic scoring of every entry we receive.”
Space may be infinite, but certain trajectories are much more efficient in terms of energy and time expended to perform particular tasks.
To give an idea of the type of challenge involved, GTOC-8 – as seen in the image above – asked participants to line up different spacecraft as efficiently as possible to perform ‘very-long baseline interferometry’: by precisely combining their individual observations through long-distance formation flying, to acquire an equivalent imaging resolution to a single, giant radio telescope.
This year’s GTOC will be based on a similarly complex yet practical space problem. For more information, click here.

Advanced Disposal appeared to be the sole hauler serving Zumbrota, possibly a city contract or license situation.

Shippensburg slapped new stickers on most all of their trucks in the last few weeks. No repaints or WM trucks at this point, I don’t think they’ll paint any yet as they need every single truck they can get to run at this point and more and more keep getting transferred out and more and more of their routes sit uncollected.
I felt it didn't look right, so I rebuilt it... And I'm aware the thumbhole is quite rough.. I lost all patience with it... >.>
Other than that, Enjoy!
Oh and happy halloween!

FJ03 AAZ of Advanced Travel is passing through Rotherham town centre. It is a Volvo B12M with Berkhof Axial coachwork, new to Harry Shaw, Coventry in 2003. It was acquired by Cedric, Wivenhoe in 2008, later passing to New Horizon, Frating, where it was reregistered S25 NHT for a while. It came to Advanced in 2020 from South Lakes Travel, Askam-in-Furness.

Former Veolia ES recycle cart (obviously) now in use for yard waste collection in Saint Paul. These are the standard carts Advanced uses when St. Paul customers sign up for the seasonal yardwaste collection. For whatever reason they only put an Advanced Disposal label on one side to re-brand.

She was sent out to take a look into the dark auras located in the cemetery. Entering through the dilapidated fence gates, the pressure was immediate. This place was definitely eerie, but not just in a metaphysical way, it was definitely... manifesting!
A zombie had appeared. "This is going to be a pain." as she rolled her eyes, accompanied by a disappointing sigh, dusted off her tome, and began chanting the incantation. An irregular magic binding circle illuminates the ground, the zombie is locked in the area. More groans, moans, and grunts echo the tenebrous field.
"So annoying, I am so not in the mood to deal with this, bye!". She writes down some words on a sticky note, sticks it to the wall, and she casually walks out the gates, as the population of undead grow behind her. The note reads: "Beware of people with skin issues.".

A radical approach to recording this scene. A conscious decision to edit this picture in a slightly Avant-garde style in which i used the low winter sun to create a silhouette of the two Class 66 locomotives crossing Ribblehead Viaduct. The subtle glints on the locos really caught my eye which led me to include the powerful sun rather than exclude it.
