Space Invader - Hoxton Square
The spinner is mainly based on kaitimar’s original. But I changed the colouring scheme, made the underside studless an added a gun. And I changed it form a 2-seater to a one-seater, because I felt that two figures with helmets didn’t fit perfectly…

This was the first shot on a roll. I guess I jumped the gun but I like it. This is the space that will become Underground Kitchen and Delicatessen.

Not the best image, but it's all I have. I have followed the US Space program since I was a little girl and my brother and I would get up to watch them launch on TV (back before we ever landed on the moon--yes I am that old). At one time I wanted to be an astronaut!
I remember watching the first man step on the moon, it was such a big deal (I even remember the little pre walk tv show and the funny cartoon man in the moon!)
I remember when the Challenger exploded and how we were all sad together and exactly where I was when I heard the news. And I actually heard the Columbia break up on re-entry as we were in the debris path. We didn't know what it was at the time, it wasn't until later in the afternoon that we put two and two together.
I've seen 2 shuttles streak across the Texas sky as they headed back toward Florida to land, and I've twice managed to take photos of the shuttle launches from here in Delray Beach (amazingly far away!).
And now, the program has ended, there will be no more shuttles, they have been forever retired.
This is a photo I took on a trip we took the fourth grade class to when I was teaching, to visit NASA and sleep under an old rocket. It's great fun, and the kids learn a lot. This was the last thing we saw as we were leaving on the bus. Not a great shot, but a sad reminder. The US will be without a way to get to the International Space Station until, I believe, 2020.
The Space Shuttle Enterprise is shown on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport. Its career was brief, making its first flight on Aug. 12, 1977, and its last flight the same year on Oct. 26. The craft, which was not built for actual space flight, was moved in 2012 to New York City. (Scanned from a slide)

Rethinking all the modeling for construction has been a superb challenge for me

SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.

The Jupiter Corporation in partnership with Neptune Polytechnic have created the first interstellar mode of travel accessible to the common everyday Joe. This is a selfie I took while riding through the Orion Nebula on my new Space Bike. I'll be honest, you have to pedal your ass off to reach escape velocity, but once there, -wow, the view is insane.
An innocuous pillar of gas and dust. Called the Cone Nebula (NGC 2264) — so named because, in ground-based images, it has a conical shape — this giant pillar resides in a turbulent star-forming region.

A small 10x12 space vignette. Versatile, can be modified to be a small aircraft carrier, or personnel carrier. Things are about to get more interesting then just plain white.

Assignment: PCA129 – Vacant (or Empty) Spaces
Oct 31 - Nov 14, 2010
Image Tag: pca129
From: The Tamed Shrew (Kate)
Mission:
To compose a picture with Vacant (or Empty) Spaces as the subject.
This could be architectural, landscapes, still life or even a candid or portrait conveying that vacant space feeling.
I really don’t want to see just darkness, it has to be an empty space with its own identity.
Examples:

Challenges here are composition, as always, and the use of natural or artificial lighting to get across your message.
WIT
I have been a bit under the weather but had to drive to Boston to pick my sons up from the station after their visit to Providence to see a University. I used Google maps to look for a place somewhere between our house and Boston where there were rocks leading out into the sea and settled on a place in Swampscott.
The tide was out and Anne and I had a pretty nice walk along the beach promenade, me stopping to take long exposures of the sea. I was shooting specifically for the assignment today so took a few of empty tables where we ate lunch and of various empty spaces in the sea.
I settled on this one from the day - I like the line of Nahant Island in the distance and the rocks in the foreground. I hope you do too. I was shooting minute and 90sec exposures using an ND#110 (a 10 stop neutral density filter).
