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.

After a second dark age where I had to pack the collection into storage, while we got our lives back in order, the 'rona comes along and gives me unlimited stuck at home time. Last year was a lot of sorting.

Enterprise, the first Space Shuttle Orbiter, is the centerpiece of the new McDonnell Space Hangar at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The orbiter's been at the museum since it opened last December, but the space hangar has been closed off while workers refurbished the Enterprise.
Now, visitors will be able to get closer, exploring the Shuttle and a host of other space artifacts from the ground level or from two elevated overlooks.
"It's beautiful ... very impressive," said museum curator Paul Ceruzzi. "It deservedly will be the center of attention." Visitors can't climb into the shuttle, but Ceruzzi says he eventually hopes the museum will have a shuttle cockpit displayed separately. He also says the museum is considering putting cameras inside some of the exhibits to give visitors a virtual inside look. And he hopes they may someday replace Enterprise with a space-flown orbiter, once the Shuttle fleet is retired.
Enterprise never flew in space, but it was crucial to the Space Shuttle program. Its series of approach and landing tests in 1977 proved the orbiter could fly in the atmosphere and land like an airplane, except without power -- like a glider (+ View Photo). Astronaut Gordon Fullerton, who piloted the Enterprise to its first landing alongside Apollo 13 veteran Fred Haise, rekindled memories about the test flights during a dinner at the museum earlier this month (+ Read More).
After those tests, Enterprise was flown to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where it was mated with the external tank and solid rocket boosters and subjected to a series of vertical ground vibration tests. The orbiter was also sent to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it was rolled out to the launch pad to act as a "stand-in" as NASA prepared for the first shuttle launch
Send in the marines!
I think this is the first space themed set I've built since I was about 12 years old. Suggestions on how to improve are welcome, I realized it's a lot harder to build a space ship corridor than I though it would be. I give major props to those of you who do this as your main focus.
Space thing i made following a couple tuts and looking at the work my friend brittany did, her stars are way better than mine =)
'Space for Inspiration' is an international conference organised by the European Space Agency for everyone curious about space exploration and why it matters. The second edition's theme -is ‘Living in our universe’.

This is some space downtown that I'm renting. Yes, it's rough, but it's cheap and right now, that's the important thing.
The Lancer is a single seat, three engine interceptor designed to get places quickly on short notice. It is armed with four lasers and two missiles for interception.

A busy time for ESA’s ESTEC Test Centre in the Netherlands, seen in this vintage photo from March 1977.
The first Italian telecommunications satellite, SIRIO-1 (Satellite Italiano per la Ricerca Industriale Orientata), is seen about to be placed in the Test Centre’s Heat Balance Facility 2 – the cylindrical thermal vacuum chamber laying open behind it.
The 400-kg satellite went on to be launched into geostationary orbit by a US Delta 2312 launcher in August that year. SIRIO-1 tested novel frequency bands from orbit for commercial use, helping pave the way for Europe’s telecom satellite industry.
Historical space photographs and publications from 1977 have just been added to ESA’s Space Heritage Image Project, SHIP. Collections from extra years are being added every few months, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of European cooperation in space.
In 1964 the first European space organisations were founded: ELDO (the European Launcher Development Organisation) and ESRO (the European Space Research Organisation). These forerunners of ESA were merged after just over a decade, in 1975, to form today’s European Space Agency.

Catergory - Creative
My car takes me shopping, to work, to funerals & weddings.
It keeps me warm and dry in Winter, cool and fresh in the Summer heat.
In my space I can have total quiet or play the loudest rock music of my choice.
It takes me to see friends and family, or on holiday.
Sometimes, we just go for a drive together away from it all....I know, it's only a car, but it's MY car, My space :-)

The queue for the Magic Kingdom's Space Mountain is quite cool! You walk deeper and deeper into the mountain in cool space tunnels!
Earlier this year, the the city of Malargüe in Argentina held their annual Spring Festival with music concerts, traditional food and a parade.
The week prior to the event, there was a workshop for people interested in wall painting – ‘murales’ in Spanish. On a lovely spring morning, many people – mostly groups of school students – began working on their murales, to be drawn on certain walls where the owners had granted permission.
When the day was done, one of the walls was finished with a wonderful painting showing a satellite together with ESA’s 35 m-diameter deep-space tracking station, opened in December 2012 and sitting just a few kilometres outside the city.
The student artists who created this ‘space mural’ called themselves the ‘Trio Payun’, comprising Hugo Orlando Aravena, Lucas Martin Cerda and Iván Garcia y Ramos, all from the Escuela 3-034 Maestro Julio Andrés Mercado school, Malargüe. The team worked under the supervision of an adult, Omar Riquelme.
The painting includes the students’ initials, as well as the messages ‘Naturaleza y desarrollo’ (Nature and development) and ‘Cuidemosla’ (Let’s take care of it!).
The trio said their artistic aim was to, “Show the economy, flora, fauna and also the ‘big importance’ that this place has for the people of Malargüe.”
Congratulations and sincere thanks to the artists for their excellent work!
