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.

Late afternoon looking west from Fort Barry in the Marin Headlands. Currents from the Golden Gate (just left of the frame) are the cause of the line in the water.

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... 🚀🚗

This week's Macro Mondays effort on the theme of 'all natural' brings us a baby grasshopper preparing to launch off an osteopermum. HMM y'all!
144/365. A launchpad for more consistency? Been struggling to keep up, but I'm trying to make this a more regular things again. Wish me luck.
Kai at BMX on 5/24, final jump of the course. He had a breakthrough race tonight, beating one of his toughest competitors! This was after the racing, during practice laps.
He's really developing his skill (and courage). I'm going the opposite direction.
I wish there was more of the sunset left. But in a month I bet there will be plenty of sky color.

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.
After the misty start in Portishead, the day in and around Bristol was a fine sunny day, perfect for the late afternoon balloon launches at Ashton Court.

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.
During a media event, members of the press and photographers ride on NASA’s crawler-transporter 2, also called CT-2, as it slowly moves along the crawlerway on a test run to Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Fondly referred to as the "workhorses" of the space program, both crawlers, CT-1 and CT-2, have served the agency's space programs for 50 years. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program at Kennedy has made steady progress on upgrades and modifications to CT-2 to be ready to support NASA's Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft, and CT-1 to support a variety of other launch vehicles.
