Orbiter Atlantis lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:29 a.m. EDT, July 8, 2011, to begin the STS-135 mission. This was the final launch in the Space Shuttle Program.
Though the launch is finished, work is just beginning for staff at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center more than 800 miles away from the launch pad, just outside Washington, D.C., in Greenbelt, Md.
Goddard employees will work around-the-clock to guarantee the four astronauts aboard Atlantis have constant, uninterrupted lines of communication with Mission Control. The careful dance of satellite relays necessary to keep channels open requires global coordination, but it all comes together in Goddard’s Network Integration Center. Goddard has fulfilled this communication role in literally all of NASA’s manned space flights: We all know the words, “One small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind,” but no one on Earth would have heard Neil Armstrong say them on July 21, 1969, if not for Goddard.
The space shuttle has been vital in humanity’s ability to reach beyond Earth’s horizon. The 135 orbiter flights have not merely taken humans to space: They have carried satellites, telescopes, science experiments and more. Among Atlantis’s final contributions is the Robotic Refueling Mission, developed at Goddard. Atlantis will bring this module to the International Space Station, where it will provide key support in maintaining future spacecrafts for years to come. STS-135 astronauts traveled to Goddard to complete special training for these robotics, a major component of the final shuttle mission. RRM is one of dozens of Goddard payloads to travel aboard orbiters into space throughout the 30-year flight history of the Shuttle Program.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center enables NASA’s mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics. Goddard plays a leading role in NASA’s accomplishments by contributing compelling scientific knowledge to advance the Agency’s mission.

Our son with Downs syndrom (r) learns a lot from helping hands in his kindergarden. He just copies what they do. And they learn to respect those who are slow.
Following the successful integration of Zephiro 23 into the mobile gantry, the following stage, Zephiro 9, is integrated.
Vega flight VV01 is set to lift off on 13 February.
ESA’s new, small launcher will carry nine satellites into orbit on its very first flight: Italian space agency’s LARES and ALMASat-1 with seven CubeSats from European universities.

I don't know if Crowded House were on tour in the UK when the songs four seasons in one day and weather with you were written but it wouldn't surprise me. I thought I was on for a glorious sunset but that big old ball of gas was teasing and I trudged home. En route my inner child was taken by the kite waving in the wind to scare the birds and I watched it for a while before moving on again. The light was now low and as I carried on to my left there was suddenly this giant face looking at me from the trees. Never have I been equally in awe of a piece of art as I have been startled in the same breath. Hopefully I will get a shot when there is better light as I don't think this quite does it justice.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and Labor Secretary Tom Perez, today announced the recipients of $200 million in competitive awards to fund and evaluate pilot projects in 10 states to help Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program (SNAP) participants enter careers and work toward self-sufficiency. Georgia is one of several other states that have been selected to test innovative ways to help the unemployed or underemployed transition off of government food assistance programs and compete for positions in today’s job market.

Spottwood Bolling, the lead plaintiff in the U.S. Supreme Court case that outlawed segregation in District of Columbia public schools, is hugged by his mother, Sarah Bolling after the 1954 ruling.
Bolling was a 15-year-old sophomore at the time of the decision.
The Bolling suit ending segregation in the District of Columbia was brought by the Consolidated Parents Group, composed of working class African Americans living in the northeast quadrant and those east of the Anacostia River.
The group waged a seven-year fight beginning in 1947 to improve conditions for African Americans that began with a boycott of deplorable conditions at the all black Browne Junior High on Benning Road and ended with the Court’s school desegregation order.
However after integration, the school system quickly implemented a track system where black students were placed in the lowest tracks that included no college preparation courses and effectively segregated most black students within the schools.
The June 1967 Hobson v. Hansen court decision broke up the track system, but by then white flight to the suburbs had effectively re-segregated District of Columbia public schools.
Bolling would go on to graduate from Spingarn High School in the District and St. Augustine College in Raleigh, N.C.
He worked as a recreation center director in the District of Columbia for five years taking graduate courses in public administration.
Bolling then took work in an addiction and treatment program.
In 1978 the Washington Post interviewed him when he was acting manager of CEASED clinic addiction and methadone treatment center in northeast Washington where he said he was doing what he liked best “helping people, I find it very fulfilling.”
He reflected back on the court decision and subsequent integration of D.C. schools and said:
“More than myself or the other students, the parents were the ones who did this whole thing and they deserve the recognition. They had the guts and fortitude to carry on the fight.”
Bolling died in 1990 at age 51.

Video of three black and white collages created in 2003...these pieces have never been exhibited and by using iMovie they now have a way of finding an audience
The narration with the video was also written back in 2003 when the pieces were first created...l found by writing a narration to all my pieces back in those days helped me with inner and outer consolidation and this allowed many other awarenesses to slowly become clear...
I have only just realised these videos are also becoming my artistic retrospective...
