A l’extérieur du bâtiment il faut passer sous une réplique de l’immense réservoir et des réacteurs amovibles de la navette pour rentrer et gravir ensuite une rampe qui nous mène à une première salle, où on relate en vidéo les origines du programme des navettes spatiales dans les années 60. On passe ensuite dans une autre salle où sont projetées d’impressionnantes images de la navette. La vidéo conclut: «33 missions, 26 ans, plus de 126 millions de kilomètres… Atlantis, bienvenue chez vous». Soudain, l'écran vidéo se lève, laissant apparaitre la véritable navette Atlantis. Tout autour, on retrouve sur plusieurs étages des expositions interactives pour en apprendre plus sur l’histoire et les technologies du Space Shuttle Program de la NASA. Au fur et à mesure que l’on avance, le couloir devient orange et rouge, comme si l’on ressentait le retour brutal de la navette dans l'atmosphère Terrestre …
La navette spatiale Atlantis (Orbital Vehicle-104) fut la quatrième navette opérationnelle construite, et la dernière à voler, après les destructions de Challenger (1986) et de Columbia (2003) et la mise en arrêt des navettes Discovery et Endeavour. Son assemblage fut terminé le 10 avril 1984. Atlantis effectua sa mission inaugurale le 3 octobre 1985, un des cinq vols au cours desquels elle a mené des activités militaires secrètes. En 1989, Atlantis déploya deux sondes spatiales, Magellan et Galileo, et en 1991, elle lança le Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. À partir de 1995, Atlantis a réalisé sept vols directs vers la station spatiale soviétique Mir. Lors du second vol vers Mir, elle a apporté un module d’arrimage qui a permis des échanges d'astronautes lors des vols suivants. De novembre 1997 à juillet 1999, Atlantis a été l’objet d’une opération de remise à niveau, avec quelque 165 modifications apportées à la navette, dont l’installation d’une planche de bord tout écran (Multifunction Electronic Display System). Elle a ensuite effectué six vols, qui concernaient tous des activités d’assemblage de la Station spatiale internationale. La navette Atlantis s'est posée sans encombre sur la piste du Centre spatial Kennedy le 21 juillet 2011, à 9 h 56 GMT, après une mission spatiale réussie. Celle-ci met fin à trois décennies de vols des navettes spatiales américaines.
Outside the building, you have to go under a replica of the huge tank and the shuttle's reactors to get in and then climb a ramp that leads us to a first room, where we tell in video the origins of the shuttle program. in the 60s. Then we go to another room where are projected impressive images of the shuttle. The video concludes: "33 missions, 26 years, more than 126 million kilometers ... Atlantis, welcome home." Suddenly, the video screen rises, revealing the real shuttle Atlantis. All around, there are interactive displays on several floors to learn more about the history and technologies of NASA's Space Shuttle Program. As we move forward, the corridor becomes orange and red, as if we felt the sudden return of the shuttle into the Earth's atmosphere ...
The Space Shuttle Atlantis (Orbital Vehicle-104) was the fourth operational shuttle built, and the last to fly after the destruction of Challenger (1986) and Columbia (2003) and the shutdown of the Discovery and Endeavor shuttles. Its assembly was completed on April 10, 1984. Atlantis performed its inaugural mission on October 3, 1985, one of five flights during which it conducted secret military activities. In 1989, Atlantis deployed two space probes, Magellan and Galileo, and in 1991, launched the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. Starting in 1995, Atlantis made seven direct flights to the Soviet Mir Space Station. During the second flight to Mir, she brought a stowage module that allowed exchanges of astronauts on subsequent flights. From November 1997 to July 1999, Atlantis underwent a refit, with some 165 modifications to the shuttle, including the installation of an all-electronic dashboard (Multifunction Electronic Display System). She then flew six flights, all of which involved assembly activities of the International Space Station. Shuttle Atlantis landed safely on the Kennedy Space Center runway on July 21, 2011 at 9:56 GMT after a successful space mission. This puts an end to three decades of theft of American space shuttles.

Here is version III of the Space Taxi. The renders are set at a lower render quality, 5 instead of 9 of 12. This is updated to add passenger compartments with lift open entry (This only works in the LDD versions because of the way the overall ship is designed. In this same design it does not work in reality.)

I used to spend hours painting these wee 25mm figures back when I was a teenager. I started out playing Dungeons & Dragons but these figures are Imperial Space Marines (!) from a table top war game called Warhammer 40 000 (Warhammer 40K to those in the know) which I never really got into as I was starting to move onto more “grown-up” pursuits at the time.
These pictures are the result of a new interest meeting an old hobby but I think part of me would love to spend a rainy afternoon with some figures, a few pots of acrylic paint and a couple of sable brushes.

Used to explore new mineral deposits, this robot is a good example of the Miner's Union's color sceme.
Die Internationale Luft- und Raumfahrtausstellung ILA (1. bis 4. Juni 2016) im Berlin ExpoCenter Airport in Schönefeld ist Marktplatz für die globale Luft- und Raumfahrt-Industrie.
Das DLR beteiligt sich mit einem Ausstellungsstand, an dem seine aktuellen Highlight-Themen aus den Bereichen Luftfahrt, Energie, Verkehr und Sicherheit vertreten sind. Seine Raumfahrt-Aktivitäten zeigt das DLR im benachbarten Space Pavilion. Zudem ist das DLR mit eigenem Fluggerät und mit Personalmarketing-Experten vertreten.

This technology demonstrator on show at the DLR stand will contribute to technological developments in unmanned aircraft. It exhibits a typical shape to minimise radar signature and can fly upside down for long stretches.
This image reprezents the hunam ultimate challenge: conquering the galaxy. The blue-transparent planet with a semi-lune in the right-down corner significally means an ocuppied planet, comming very clone to the main one. Also, the blue-dark space, makes you think that this image is not just a simple copy of the galaxy, it's a blue fog that survoles the planets. You are free to comment this at YourWeb LIFE Forum

These three lifeguards ordered me out of the Victoria Pool, a New York State park, because my bathing suit was made of cotton instead of lycra. Never try to swim in NY in cotton...........

I have created a nimble reconnaissance space craft based on the Lego Classic Space colorscheme. The model comprises of less than 300 bricks in its current form. This third generation MOC is an asymmetrical build which incorporates a part selection stretching multiple decades. The aim was to create a relatively small set with a modern yet friendly appearance based upon epic heritage. The craft is designed for reconnaissance work but is suffienciently equipped to defend itself if deemed required. It features next level equipment to scan its surroundings. Propulsion is achieved through an anti-matter reactor coupled to a warp drive. Ufonium element 115 is stored in the double armoured fuel tank. The ship contains 2 anti-anti-matter seeking missiles and 4 miniature rocket boosters which remotely attach to medium sized asteroids posing a threat to any minifigure astronaut wandering through the voids of imagination. ;-)
