A Space display is the opportunity to make small "funny" vehicles
We start soft with a classic exploration rover : Lunar Exploration Rover
The second Mars Exploration Rover, Opportunity, launched aboard a Delta II launch vehicle on July 7, 2003 from Cape Canaveral. The rover’s primary goal was to examine Martian geology for clues to past water activity on the red planet.
The last signal from the spacecraft was heard on June 10, 2018. The mission, planned to only last for three months, officially ended on February 13, 2019.

The Flickr 21 Challenge day 9 theme is exploration. This is a map of Michigan U.S.A, where I was born, grew up and still live. I put pins in the many places that I've explored but it is by far not all of them. Michigan is split in to two peninsulas connected by the Mackinac Bridge which is grand and beautiful. This map has split the upper peninsula because it's really long.
I highly recommend a visit to Michigan with its beautiful wilderness, Great Lakes, animals, ship wrecks etc. etc.
I’ve traveled the world twice over,
Met the famous; saints and sinners,
Poets and artists, kings and queens,
Old stars and hopeful beginners,
I’ve been where no one’s been before,
Learned secrets from writers and cooks
All with one library ticket
To the wonderful world of books.

NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is seen atop a mobile launcher at Launch Complex 39B illuminated by spotlights, Saturday, April 2, 2022, as the Artemis I launch team conducts the wet dress rehearsal test at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Ahead of NASA’s Artemis I flight test, the wet dress rehearsal will run the Artemis I launch team through operations to load propellant, conduct a full launch countdown, demonstrate the ability to recycle the countdown clock, and drain the tanks to practice timelines and procedures for launch.

This composite image made from seven frames shows the International Space Station, with a crew of seven onboard, in silhouette as it transits the Sun at roughly five miles per second, Friday, June 25, 2021, from near Nellysford, Va. Onboard are Expedition 65 NASA astronauts Megan McArthur, Mark Vande Hei, Shane Kimbrough, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Oleg Novitskiy. At the time of the transit, Kimbrough and Pesquet were working outside on the station’s port 6 truss to install the second ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (iROSA) on the 4B power channel.

Regulars may remember that several years ago, an exploration followed Dorset's River Frome from source to mouth. In this photo, not far from Maiden Newton Station, our new exploration along the route of the Bridport Railway branch line crosses the route of the R. Frome exploration.
To the top and right, the embankment of the railway line can be seen under which the river flows. Adjacent and In the foreground, an old public right-of-way bridge crosses the Frome. More or less in the middle of the photo, a sluice gate can also be seen that can regulate the flow depending on the weather conditions though how often it is still used I do not know.
Incidentally, running along the valley is part of the Macmillan Way, a 290 mile / 470 kms trail from Boston, Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury, Dorset. It is named after the Macmillan Charity dedicated to cancer relief.
The Leviathan, an exploration submarine.
I also have a set of arms and some tanks/cilinders to attach to the landing frame but In the end I liked it better without those.
I don't think I can make it much better than this, it took 4 prototypes to make me satisfied.

A cinematic exploration of serene wetlands and diverse coastal ecosystems. This collection captures the quiet beauty of nature across different moments of the day and night—from the golden mists of sunrise illuminating wooden boardwalks and the smooth pebble shores at dusk, to the dramatic twilight skies towering over dense reeds. The gallery features intimate wildlife encounters, including a resting heron, a dew-drenched dragonfly in stunning macro detail, and a perfectly mirrored flock of flamingos gliding through calm waters. It explores dynamic perspectives, showcasing vibrant aerial views of coastal salt pans, a classic observer's view from inside a wooden bird hide, and a mesmerizing nocturnal landscape under the Milky Way. An homage to biodiversity, atmospheric light, and the pristine quiet of the natural world.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata is seen inside an elevator onboard the SpaceX recovery ship Shannon shortly after he, along with NASA astronauts Nicole Mann, Josh Cassada, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina, landed while onboard the SpaceX Dragon Endoevour spacecraft in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tampa, Florida, Saturday, March 11, 2023. Mann, Cassada, Wakata, and Kikina are returning after 157 days in space as part of Expedition 68 aboard the International Space Station. Photo Credit: (NASA/Keegan Barber).
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is seen illuminated by spotlights atop a mobile launcher at Launch Complex 39B, Friday, March 18, 2022, after being rolled out to the launch pad for the first time at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Ahead of NASA’s Artemis I flight test, the fully stacked and integrated SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft will undergo a wet dress rehearsal at Launch Complex 39B to verify systems and practice countdown procedures for the first launch.

The majesty of Vestmannabjørgini (Vestmanna sea cliffs), Streymoy (Faroe Islands).
Known as the Vestmannabjørgini, these majestic sea cliffs rise up to 600 meters above the turquoise hues of the churning sea below roughly halfway between Vestmanna and Saksun, on the north side of Streymoy, Faroe Islands.
The cliffs are characterized by their numerous clefts and green blankets of luxuriant grass and mosses (sheep graze quite undisturbed on the clifftops).
The boats that sail here give an unparalleled view of the cliffs and the birds as they weave in between the numerous sea stacks and in and out the narrow straits bound by sheer rock walls and dark echoing grottoes.
These soaring cliffs provide safe nesting places during the summer months (May-August) for thousands upon thousands of seabirds, above all puffins, guillemots, razorbills and gulls.

We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling. If you want to keep on learning, you must keep on risking failure all your life.

This is my newest build for Andromeda's Gates. The corporation of M.A.N.T.I.S. is looking forward to use the resources on the deep sea planet of Hunston. First experiments and researches are promising.
