Open Space Church, Pizza Paint: Open Art Night. Second and Third Thursdays at The Studio Space Tucson
Not my best walker, perhaps, but it shows off my new Space Police 1 astronaut.
I'm calling it the "Lobo" walker.
DIgging through the archives because the weather is wet and miserable. I returned to a stormy series at Kerry Park earlier this year. Not the typical Kerry shot, in fact most of the buildings are nothing more than shadows in the clouds that were billowing through the downtown area on this particular morning. Hope to get out for some fresh shooting soon but in the meantime this will have to do.
NASA will roll the fully assembled core stage for the agency’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket that will launch the first crewed #Artemis mission out of NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans in mid-July. The 212-foot-tall stage will be loaded on the agency’s Pegasus barge for delivery to Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Here, the core stage is currently behind scaffolding to allow work to continue at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. The stage’s two massive propellant tanks hold a collective 733,000 gallons of liquid propellant to power the four RS-25 engines at its base. Following hardware acceptance reviews and final checkouts, the stage will be readied for delivery.

(August 7, 1997) Space Shuttle Discovery's STS-85 mission launched from the Kennedy Space Center on August 7, 1997. The mission's objective was to launch the Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere-Shuttle Pallet Satellite-2 (CRISTA-SPAS-2) free flyer.

On Machester Ave just past the I405.
Got up early to go see it while it was still dark. This is an HDR of 3 shots on a tripod, I took 4 shots at each speed, and blended each set of 4 to eliminate as many people walking in front of it as I could. I like how the policeman is just a ghost. Then blended in Photomatix4 and tone mapped using Exposure Fusion. Then in PS applied Nik Color Efex (Dark Contrast, Pro Contrast). In PS cleaned up the sky, curves, dodging and burning.

We're all familiar with the brave and intrepid Space Police. Their distinctive spaceships and vehicles are a common sight across the galactic disc.
We often forget that this pillar of the galactic community had its origins in a small group of cops who decided to bring law and order to the frontiers of known space. An early example of the equipment that they used was the space bike. This was a heavily modified version of the WMB motorbikes used on the surface of planets. As larger and larger ion engines were fitted, all that eventually remained of the original bike was the faring.
It's SPACE, but browner than ever! To my recollection, this is the first time I've built a brown fig-scale spaceship, and the first time I've ever used the orangey-brown colour at all. I mean, I don't even know the actual name of it, despite having had some since that Designer dinosaur set many years ago.
But anyway, I digress. You can probably tell that there's some TR inspiration going on here, because that guy is just too cool and I wanted to try his compact building style. But then I added my bizarre angular style, crazy internal structure, and ended up with this. I love it. Come to the NSC Leicester event, and I may even let you swoosh it.
Also, there was some discussion on AFOL 16+ that there's not enough "tough love" constructive criticism anymore, not since CSF died. So I invite you all to rip this to shreds, should you be so inclined. But constructively.

Shooting the fisheye at Mission Space is cliché now but hey, it’s the most fun lens to use with all the curves. This one is a little different from the ones I’ve seen as most are taken behind the moon. I have one of those too but let’s do this one first. Enjoy.

The 1985 Barbie Astronaut uniform and helmet fit a TBLeague S36/37 body perfectly.
Except for the shoes.
In honor of Sputnik 1, 50 years later (on Oct. 4th), I present to you all a nice little gem of a book I got off of ebay about a year ago: Space Alphabet (1964) by Irene Zacks. Pictures by Peter P. Plasencia.
Not often do you come across the word "dirigible" in a children's book.
NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley (left) and Robert Behnken (right) participate in a dress rehearsal for launch at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 23, 2020, ahead of NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission to the International Space Station. Demo-2 will serve as an end-to-end flight test of SpaceX’s crew transportation system, providing valuable data toward NASA certifying the system for regular, crewed missions to the orbiting laboratory under the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. Liftoff is targeted for 4:33 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 27. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
There was a fascinating exhibit at The San Diego Air & Space Museum about Leonardo Da Vinci when we visited. Here is his model of ball bearings -- made of wood but of course today of metal and an essential part of many things we use and depend on.

Mission: SPACE is a motion simulator thrill ride at Epcot. It simulates what an astronaut might experience aboard a spacecraft on a mission to Mars, from the higher g-force of blastoff to the speculative hypersleep.
The attraction opened to the public in a "soft opening" mode in June 2003, and celebrated its grand opening on October 9 with a ceremony attended by Disney CEO Michael Eisner, HP CEO Carly Fiorina and NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe, as well as several NASA astronauts from its many phases of human space exploration (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, the space shuttle program and two crew members aboard the International Space Station).
The attraction was built on the former site of Horizons, a dark ride that offered optimistic visions of what life might be like in the future. Horizons closed permanently in 1999 after a few years of sporadic operation; construction began on Mission: SPACE shortly thereafter. Industry estimates put the cost of developing the new attraction at US$100 million. The pavilion, like others at Epcot, features a VIP lounge for HP employees called The Red Planet Room.
Went for a trip to Art Institute of Chicago this weekend and saw this girl at the photography exhibition space. With a lot of classic photos in front of her, she was probably lost in virtual space. She was there physically but her mind was somewhere else when I saw her. Don't know what she was doing or whether she was thinking something else but it's interesting how these days with all smartphones, tablets etc our mind can be divided into multiple places at the same time...whether it's a good thing or bad? not sure..
