While editing photographs taken on a trip to the Pacific Northwest in August , I noticed this photo of the Space Needle hadn't been posted here (probably because I posted a different one). This was my last trip using my trusty Olympus OM-1.
Interior Space Assets
Production.
Trying to control the world.
And the people of the world.
Through consumption.
As the world continues to move.
The commodities continue to change.
Caged within.
Human resource and automation.
Cultural resources as assets.
Within their commodity status.
Chained to exponential growth.
As described by the grid.
And the predetermined trajectory coordinates.
Of profit.
y = 2x

Space Muscle
This SHIP is the alien misconception of a muscle car, scaled up to a space going vessel.
There is a grille with headlights, a bonnet with rallye stripe, a cockpit with a magic tree, a V6 motor and one of them roundish thingies, I think they're called wheel.
For the thrust I've added the rocket engine that's been around since my first SHIP in 2019, never had the heart (or need for those parts) to dismantle it.
Toy Project Day 2972
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.
Oh, how we wish.
Endeavour flew over JSC on the back of its 747 carrier today. It's on its way back to Florida after the STS-126 landing in California!
This is my playground: The northernmost section of the Black Hills. Photographed at 6,647 ft, you can see many lush hilltops including the dominant Crow Peak far off on right side just before the evergreens taper off into plains. What you don't see in the photo are the numerous ghost towns, abandoned mining camps, hidden fishing ponds, caves, secret camping spots, and endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. Its crazy to think of all of the life events, even just for me, that have taken place within the parameters of this frame. I know, I know, sometimes I think too much. But hey, when you sit in the dark shooting nights of startrails as everyone else sleeps quietly below, its pretty easy to get lost in space and time.

Stop! Space tractors aren't allowed in the corridors!
In my last two pounds of black L-go from the flea market were these beautiful "Police" signs, so I've build a bit of scene around them.
I even tried to build a white, streamlined version of the Lanz, but a tractor and streamline are on opposite ends of the design spectrum. It just looks ridiculous in white with red stripes.
Toy Project Day 768
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.

My son is completely awed by space, planets and stars and his want to know everything has relit my own sometimes almost childish fascination and love of star and planet gazing,
'Space' has come from this enjoyment - To offer the viewer a place to imagine the billion life cycle journey of our own sun... all it has witnessed and all it has created....
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. Its diameter is about 109 times that of Earth, and its mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth, accounting for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. About three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen (~73%); the rest is mostly helium (~25%), with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron.[17]
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on its spectral class. As such, it is informally referred to as a yellow dwarf. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of matter within a region of a large molecular cloud. Most of this matter gathered in the center, whereas the rest flattened into an orbiting disk that became the Solar System. The central mass became so hot and dense that it eventually initiated nuclear fusion in its core. It is thought that almost all stars form by this process.
The Sun is roughly middle-aged; it has not changed dramatically for more than four billion years, and will remain fairly stable for more than another five billion years. After hydrogen fusion in its core has diminished to the point at which it is no longer in hydrostatic equilibrium, the core of the Sun will experience a marked increase in density and temperature while its outer layers expand to eventually become a red giant. It is calculated that the Sun will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of Mercury, Venus, and probably Earth.
The enormous effect of the Sun on Earth has been recognized since prehistoric times, and the Sun has been regarded by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Earth and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of the solar calendar, which is the predominant calendar in use today.
Attention to detail front and back with Brass fixings allowing for a flush finish to the wall. Desires Creates Memories has also received fixings top and bottom to allow the owner of this work to have there own preference of hanging this piece.
Emma provides 2 copies of the 'about' with all her pieces, attached to the back in a sleeve... She also sign's her work in a hidden way providing the work with a little something special for the owner of the work to personally enjoy.
I like the old TV series space 1999 (Mondbasis Alpha 1). 'Have my own creation of collectible minifigures. Only original LEGO parts.
Using the Classic Space Minifig trophy from the recent LEGO promo set, I've made a trophy scale Classic Space vignette.
From a private collection of vintage pinball and flipper game backglass. Lit by two Einstein 640s in the standard 45° configuration for capturing flat artwork.
This is the real thing (not a model), the original, full size in a new facility that they've built at Kennedy Space Center in honor of the Shuttle Program. You first watch a movie of its history, the doors open... and there it is, indoors, all lit up and suspended in air in front of you at a 43.21 degree angle. Amazing closeup experience!
Atlantis was the fourth operational (and the next-to-the-last) Space Shuttle to be constructed by the Rockwell International Co. in Southern California, and it was delivered to the Kennedy Space Center in eastern Florida in April 1985. Atlantis was named after RV Atlantis, a two-masted sailing ship that operated as the primary research vessel for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from 1930 to 1966.
The last mission of Atlantis was the last flight of the Shuttle program. This final flight, authorized in October 2010, brought additional supplies to the International Space Station and took advantage of the processing performed for the Launch on Need mission, which would only have been flown in the event that Endeavour's crew required rescue. Atlantis launched successfully for the final time on July 8th, 2011 at 16:29 UTC, landing at the John F. Kennedy Space Center on July 21st, 2011 at 09:57 UTC. By the end of its final mission, Atlantis had orbited the Earth 4,848 times, traveling nearly 126,000,000 miles in space or more than 525 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
At Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Space Shuttle Atlantis is the new $100 million home of the priceless, historic spacecraft that tells the incredible story of NASA’s 30-year Space Shuttle Program. The 90,000 square-foot Space Shuttle Atlantis attraction is the marquee element of the Visitor Complex’s 10-year master plan. The Visitor Complex displays Atlantis suspended with its payload bay doors opened (above) such that it appears to be back in orbit around the Earth. A multi-story digital projection of Earth rotates behind the orbiter in a 64,000-square-foot indoor facility. Ground breaking of the facility occurred in 2012. The exhibit opened on June 29th, 2013.
[Interesting note: Atlantis is suspended in its new facility with cargo bay doors open at a 43.21 degree angle. Get it? 4-3-2-1 Liftoff!]

Space Vikings!
This ship steals most of its plunder by latching on to other vessels and cutting open their hulls, allowing the pirates to loot the victims without further conflict.
Built for the contest in the Space Pirate group, and inspired by the ships of Vinn.
Odd that you're calling us pirates when you're the ones tearing up our rock, taking our claims out from under your feet. You'd best prepare yourself to tell the rest of the Imperial Mining Guild officers' club that no amount of resources will keep you from being outgunned by us so-called "rabble."
Here is a rugged crew of the best asteroid prospectors-turned vigilantes—and the significantly less competent Guild representative who've tried to plant roots on their mineral-rich rock. Their captain got his "green thumb" in the Emperor's own Terraforming Corp, and he's assembled the best crew to make sure that the Imperium's Benevolent Reach extends no further.
This crew is extended from a Build a Minifigure find circa 2014.
Discovery has earned a place of honor in the collection of national treasures preserved by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. The longest-serving orbiter, Discovery flew 39 times from 1984 through 2011 — more missions than any of its sister ships — spending altogether 365 days in space. Discovery also flew every type of mission during the space shuttle era and has a record of distinctions.
