Mission Space has been one of those pavilions that I never really had a lot of pics of. I just never wound up on that side of the park around close and by the time I made it around there it was roped off. With that in mind I decided to dedicate some time during an EMH night to getting some pics of Mission Space. I actually wound up spending about an hour shooting all around Mission Space from various angles getting a bunch of different shots. It's safe to say I have a good mix of shots of this pavilion now. It's always nice to be able to fill in some of the gaps in my Walt Disney World photo coverage.
This was shot with the Nikon D810 and Nikon 70-200 2.8. The moon was very well positioned over the pavilion and nearly full so I knew this would be a perfect time for shooting Mission Space. I always love being able to include elements such as stars or moons with Mission Space since they fit so well thematically. For this shot I stood quite a ways back and zoomed in on the pavilion. This helped make the moon appear a bit larger in the frame and also compressed the elements in the frame in a way I felt was interesting architecturally.

for #MacroMondays and this week's theme #LookUp
This is my orchid. I love flowers. Never thought to picture it in such a pose. i'm excited about the outcome of this experiment.
Happy Macro Monday!
Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!
I really appreciate them!
Camera was on tripod and connected to the computer, shutter triggered by software control. My wire is rather short so i had to move my subject near to the computer. Bloom was lit by a small led light.
You can find a photo of the setup in my stream.

Milwaukee Art Museum
The interior of the museum is as shockingly beautiful as the exterior. The light coming through the generous allocation of glass windows illuminates the inner space in a very pleasant way and brings you right into the artistic high you don't want to wake up from...
The starship hangars of Classic Space were massive. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space-ship hangars.* The engineers used bicycles, electric buggies and all sorts of other transport to travel about but they wanted faster speeds.
Eventually they modified a small maintenance quadcopter to carry a human pilot. Armoured trousers were a necessary precaution when flying it.
Sadly management decreed that this vehicle was less safe than Colin Furze's belt of spinning knives and banned its use after just a few months.
*Thank you Douglas Adams!

'Now remember what I told you Syl, go easy with that bottle!'
'I still have to break it, don' tI?'
'Just the bottle Syl, not the ship!'

Very slightly modified version of the space ship from small set 60224.
I have 2 smallish space shuttles, the one that came with the space station (set 60227) and this one. And for the last 3 weeks I have been trying this and that to come up with my own version, but those Lego designers knew what they were doing. Their design worked best...
In the end, I just added a pair of extra small wings to the front...
After not feeling well all weekend I'm finally recovering and preparing for my trip to Seattle (starting on Friday).
As I'll not have the time to post anything in the next two weeks here's something from my last trip to Seattle to show you where I am / will be. The Space Needle's imposing structure at Seattle Center is recognized as the city's architectural icon.
Take care and have a wonderful time!
A space to breathe deep, clear the mind and free the soul.
I hope everyone's having a good weekend, I'm a busy bee at the mo but popping into your streams when I can.
The Space Tourists
Description
Space tourism. It wasn't always like this. Once, Space tourism. It wasn't always like this. Once, it was the realm of governments and corporations, colossal rockets and carefully orchestrated missions. Now, it was almost...casual. Like renting a campervan and hitting the outback, but instead of red dirt and spinifex, there were asteroid fields and shimmering space stations.
Artist Statement
This image explores the evolving idea of space tourism, emphasising the contrast between traditional views of space travel as a grand, state-sponsored endeavour and a future where it is more accessible and commonplace. The worn, rusty appearance of the spacecraft challenges the sleek, futuristic designs typically associated with space travel, suggesting a future where the cosmos is within reach for everyday travellers.
The vignette illustrates the concept of space tourism by likening it to a road trip, where destinations like Kepler-186f take the place of familiar landmarks on Earth. The inclusion of a pet further humanises this vision, grounding it in relatable and familiar experiences. By juxtaposing the extraordinary nature of space travel with the everyday presence of a woman, a man, and their dog, the image encourages viewers to envision a future in which the wonders of space are as accessible as a drive through the countryside.
The image presents a future where humanity's reach extends beyond Earth while maintaining the essence of travel as fundamentally human.

Thanks for all the positive feedback!
Here's some additional information that is missing from the EXIF data: The shot was made with a Samyang 8mm manual fisheye lens close to Sloane Square tube station in London SW1. BW conversion with Silver Efex Pro 2.
We just watched the movie Ad Astra and it sure made you think about how much Space is out there and how nice it is to be here and grounded.
Second stage of my Space Marine Army project finished. Now there are two full squads of Marines, one Tactical and one Devastators, a Dreadnought, Land Speeder and a fully remotely controlled Power-Functions powered Predator tank.
Space invader is back.
The pitch of the movie is the same as in round n°1 :
So I'm driving in the icelandic east fjords. Basically, I can't see a thing.
The cloud surrounding me is so thick the sunlight has become an abstract notion.
Until the next turn. From it and it seems magic, the sky is so clear that you should be able to see Pluto's tail.
Going along one of the fjords, I can now see the other side.
Except that I can't.
Another fluffly monstruosity is filling up the lower layers of the sky and most layers of emerged land.
That tells me that I should take my time going there, enjoy the sun for a bit, that if I couldn't see anything before, it must have come from quite some picturesque cloud if taken from the outside.

That was my third entry for the contest "Out of this World Space Builds" on Lego Idea.
Story:
“We meet again our two fellow classic space figs, Eddy and Cindy with their new outfits. They are now going on a new adventure, exploring space!
Unfortunately, this spaceship doesn't have a rover to explore the surface of new discovered planets but have a little useful speeder bike attached to the rear. Well, Cindy have difficulties to handle the speeder and is kind of scared by its power ... (both minifigs have a double side face, one normal and the other scared ... the speeder bike is definitively difficult to handle!!)”
In fact, it was designed to be with this diorama but it was a large spaceship so I decided to substitute another (smaller) and make this one on his own.
PS: Don’t judge my photoshop skills, I’m a beginner ^_^
What a great memory! September 21, 2012.
We were stepping out of the Star Wars ride at Disneyland, looked up to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour fly over on it's Boeing 747 transport, along with it's escort plane, to it's final display location at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Lucky timing!
'Straight at me... slowly... right!
'Why are we this close to these large boulders and rocks? Shouldn't we build a bit further away?'
These rocks will be part of our base... We can build higher this way, and use those natural caves as well...'
'Them rocks look weird, regular, almost build!'
'Ah well, probably just basalt or something, you have those weird geometric rock patterns at some place on earth too...'
'Are you sure this is the front end?'
'It most certainly will be, once we're done!'
====================================
The crawler from set 60229 taking shape.
The rubber wheels are on axles that connect to one sprocket in each track. It 'drives' the hard plastic tracks, even on a very smooth surface, and works very well.
