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 year I watched a Space Shuttle launch with my students live, blogged and tweeted live from the launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour, and then watched the final launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis and of the shuttle program at Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Yes, this was a year of space. I've met amazing friends, teachers, and supporters of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education) and can only say that the best gift you can give your students is to inspire them to reach for the stars. Expose them to all of the amazing careers and things to learn about in the world of STEM. Wishing you all PEACE on EARTH and in space.... (www.venspired.com)

The queue for the Magic Kingdom's Space Mountain is quite cool! You walk deeper and deeper into the mountain in cool space tunnels!

Space Team character figures by Block Tech. I found this at Dollar General. They were so odd and unusual that I had to get them. The box has 4 alien figures. Left to right are Alien, Martian, Alien Leader, and Alien Scout.
I always wanted to do a picture like this, but never had the materials to do it. But today my niece came from a birthday and give it to me, I was like OMG NOW I CAN DO THE UNIVERSE IN A JAR *screams and jums* and well, this is the result (: she's the model btw, these little hands are hers, credits to my niece Nicole ^^
Oh and this is inspired on www.flickr.com/photos/lissyl/4441552351/in/set-7215762386... & www.flickr.com/photos/attentionxreader/4768849583/ I dont have a great camera like them but i do my best ^^
PS: first time i write this much on flickr xD
PS2: i take a whole lot of pictures of this jar, i think i will upload them later (:

I noticed a cutlass would fit in Frenzy's mouth. This is what happened.
I find my lack of dusting disturbing...
Hey everyone, I'm back, and this time I want to show you something different. This build was built as a part of "Out of This World Space Builds" on lego ideas, and was built as a 3D model because of lack of parts. It represents a small laboratory located on Mars, or whatever other planet that you want it on. On the exterior you can see it has rounded windows, entrance and on the top a small greenhouse, while in the interior you have a computer with a litle stand for samples of stones or whatever. It also has plenty of room to fit a minifigure. This was built as a hexagonal build wich takes up 10x12 stud space. Although it is a mecabricks build, all interactions between bricks have been previously checked with phisical bricks. Overall build contains 241 bricks. I would appreciate if you would drop a like or comment on lego ideas entry. It's called "Space Laboratory", original, isn't it. Here's the link:

I hope you like it!
It was small, but an amazing sight watching the space shuttle take off from Cape Canaveral. If you can see this photo in full size, you can see it better. This photo was taken from Jacksonville Beach 31 May.

The Space Shuttle Enterprise (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) was the first Space Shuttle orbiter. It was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform test flights in the atmosphere. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of spaceflight.
Originally, Enterprise had been intended to be refitted for orbital flight, which would have made it the second space shuttle to fly after Columbia. However, during the construction of Columbia, details of the final design changed, particularly with regard to the weight of the fuselage and wings. Refitting Enterprise for spaceflight would have involved dismantling the orbiter and returning the sections to subcontractors across the country. As this was an expensive proposition, it was determined to be less costly to build Challenger around a body frame (STA-099) that had been created as a test article. Similarly, Enterprise was considered for refit to replace Challenger after the latter was destroyed, but Endeavour was built from structural spares instead.
Construction began on the first orbiter on June 4, 1974. Designated OV-101, it was originally planned to be named Constitution. However, a write-in campaign caused it to be renamed after the Starship Enterprise, featured on the television show Star Trek.
The design of OV-101 was not the same as that planned for OV-102, the first flight model; the tail was constructed differently, and it did not have the interfaces to mount OMS pods. A large number of subsystems—ranging from main engines to radar equipment—were not installed on this vehicle, but the capacity to add them in the future was retained. Instead of a Thermal Protection System, its surface was primarily fiberglass.
In mid-1976, the orbiter was used for ground vibration tests, allowing engineers to compare data from an actual flight vehicle with theoretical models.
On September 17, 1976, Enterprise was rolled out of Rockwell's plant at Palmdale, California. In recognition of its fictional namesake, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and most of the principal cast of the original series of Star Trek were on hand at the dedication ceremony.
On January 31, 1977, it was taken by road to Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, to begin operational testing.
While at NASA Dryden, Enterprise was used by NASA for a variety of ground and flight tests intended to validate aspects of the shuttle program. The initial nine-month testing period was referred to by the acronym ALT, for "Approach and Landing Test". These tests included a maiden "flight" on February 18, 1977 atop a Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) to measure structural loads and ground handling and braking characteristics of the mated system. Ground tests of all orbiter subsystems were carried out to verify functionality prior to atmospheric flight.
The mated Enterprise/SCA combination was then subjected to five test flights with Enterprise unmanned and unactivated. The purpose of these test flights was to measure the flight characteristics of the mated combination. These tests were followed with three test flights with Enterprise manned to test the shuttle flight control systems.
Finally, Enterprise underwent five free flights where the craft separated from the SCA and was landed under astronaut control. These tests verified the flight characteristics of the orbiter design and were carried out under several aerodynamic and weight configurations.
On August 12, 1977, the space shuttle Enterprise flew on its own for the first time
