The Suzukama 36-Zi is a small, lightweight personal speeder, initially produced by the Suzukama Heavy Fisheries and Manufacturing Concern as a sport/racing machine. Small, mobile, and easy to work on, the 36-Zi platform proved to be so durable and reliable that it was copied milions of times by many other manufacturers. Clones adn copies of hese speeders can be found in every corner and on nearly every inhabited world in the galaxy, but the original Suzukama models have become quite rare and collectible.

Mata Nui Motors has contracted with the Neo Space Police supplying them with the latest in personal speeder crafts. Each uniquely outfitted to get space cops where they need to be.
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.
One of a photo collection taken at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Ariznoa. They have an amazing collection, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a great day there with the whole family. The kids love it… and so do the grown-ups. I had not been since I was a child… anyway. I hope you enjoy the image.
Shot back in 2011 with a Nikon D300 and my 10mm fish eye lens, I'd almost forgotten that I took this sequence. After tidying my hard drives, I rediscovered the images and out of pure curiosity decided to see what the animation looked like.
Rather glad I did, I live in suburban light pollution and until visiting Australia, had never seen skies like this before. Galaxies and bright Nebulae visible to the naked eye.

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 =)
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.
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.
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.
