This german V1 launchpad model will go directly in the instructions section of my website shop. J
ust the time for me to modelize of course ;D
I had the idea of a mini launchpad eversince the new lattice rails from lego came out but it took the New Elementary ( www.newelementary.com/ ) parts festival to complete this micro moc! I was interested in using the 'headlamp' as a rocket thruster and as the comms dishes on the tower. There are a couple more of the new, excellent flat silver parts and the new giant slopes in white.

There is also more concept art and activity over there in general; hope to see you there!

Hello everyone. I guess Labor Day is right around the corner. Several new photos coming from me lately.

J-4: Aujourd'hui c'était le dry dress ! Nous avons répété toutes les opérations du jour du décollage. Enfiler nos combinaisons et vérifier l'étanchéité, entrer dans la capsule sur le pas de tir et suivre toutes les étapes de préparation du lancement (au milieu de la nuit 😳)... Toute l'équipe était sur le pont, la situation était très réaliste - jusqu'à la playlist qu'on a écouté en roulant vers la fusée 😉 La prochaine fois que nous ferons ce chemin, il n'y aura pas de retour 🚀

L-4: Today was dry dress ! It means we rehearsed the entire launch day operations, from getting suited up and leak-checking our spacesuits, to ingressing our capsule on the launch pad and going through all launch preparation steps (in the middle of the night)... The whole team was on deck and it felt real – even the playlist we listened to on the way to the rocket 🎶😉. Next time we drive to that pad, we won’t be driving back... 🚀🚗

A handful of Rockwell International personnel look upon their charge, Space Shuttle Columbia (OV-102), some time after rollout to LC-39A, in preparation for her maiden voyage, STS-1.
In the lates 1960s NASA began to work on an Integrated Launch and Re-entry Vehicle which would ultimately become the Space Shuttle. In 1969 President Nixon gave the green light to proceed with the Shuttle development and in 1973 NASA was able to confirm that a unpowered spaceplane could re-enter Earth's atmosphere from space for a safe return to a horizontal landing.
Six airworthy Space Shuttle orbiters have been built, although the first, Enterprise, was not built for orbital space flight, and was used only for testing purposes.
The first of four test flights occurred in 1981, which were followed by operational flights beginning in 1982. The system is scheduled to be retired from service in 2010 after 134 launches. Major missions have included launching numerous satellites and interplanetary probes, conducting space science experiments, and servicing and construction of space stations. The Shuttle has been used for orbital space missions by NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, the European Space Agency, and Germany.
Current plans call for the Space Shuttle to be retired from service in 2010, after nearly 30 years of service. To fill the void left by the Shuttle's retirement, a new spacecraft is being developed to ferry not only passengers and cargo to the Internation Space Station but also to travel beyond Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars, known as Project Constellation.
President Obama's administration has proposed eliminating public funds for the Constellation program and shifting the burden for developing a replacement low-orbit service to private corporations. Until another launch vehicle is ready, crews would travel to and from the International Space Station onboard Russian Soyuz spacecraft. President Obama's plan must be approved by the United States Congress, and counter-proposals are currently being considered by Congress, including the potential extension of the Space Shuttle program for an additional five years while a replacement can be developed.
Hopefully, public funding will remain and the Space Shuttle program will continue until a new space vehicle is ready. If not, it will be a said day in American History when the United States can no longer go to space.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying ESA’s Euclid mission has arrived at its launch pad and is getting ready for its journey to space. Planned lift-off at 16:12 BST/17:12 CEST today.
ESA's Euclid mission is designed to explore the composition and evolution of the dark Universe. Euclid will chart how the Universe has expanded and how large-scale structure is distributed across space and time, revealing more about the role of gravity and the nature of dark energy and dark matter.  
Four weeks after launch, Euclid will enter in orbit around Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2. Once in orbit, mission controllers will start the activities to verify all functions of the spacecraft, check out the telescope and finally turn the instruments on.

Did a city walk in an attempt to capture some of Syndey's more intersting buildings, thought this one ominous looking office block came out alright.
Your vote will bring this project to life!

The Soyuz TMA-12M spacecraft is seen shortly after the closure of the gantry arms to secure the rocket at the launch pad on Sunday, March 23, 2014, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Launch of the Soyuz rocket is scheduled for March 26 and will send Expedition 39 Soyuz Commander Alexander Skvortsov of the Russian Federal Space Agency, Roscosmos, Flight Engineer Steven Swanson of NASA, and Flight Engineer Oleg Artemyev of Roscosmos on a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station.

North Sacramento, CA
I don't like the redevelopment projects we've been seeing in this area of Del Paso Heights community in North Sacramento. Our historic buildings and empty walls are relentlessly being targeted for new mural projects by "artists" and community activists who want the money to pour into the area for new projects. But the murals are all feel good-projects and empty promises because the city government doesn't provide the needed funds for true renovations.
Things old and familiar are being taken out and the area history is being destroyed and erased by plans approved by the liberals and the city planners who allowed the projects to take place in this manner. It's much cheaper to paint the whole community with messy meaningless murals than to stay true to the history of the place, I guess. It's not working, guys. Didn't ya learn the importance of history when you were in school? Unbelievable...
And this goes for the city of Sacramento as well. Stop having our whole town painted with stupid murals. They look embarrassing.
