Space Shuttle Discovery (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-103) is one of the orbiters from NASA's Space Shuttle program and the third of five fully operational orbiters to be built. Its first mission, STS-41-D, flew from August 30 to September 5, 1984. Over 27 years of service it launched and landed 39 times, gathering more spaceflights than any other spacecraft to date.
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.

On 26 May 2014, German Federal President Joachim Gauck made the first-ever visit by a Head of State to ESA’s operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany. He was joined by 140 ambassadors and Tarek Al-Wazir, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Hesse region, for a guided visit through the centre’s mission control facilities.

Armed with two heavy-duty, justice-dispensing twin blaster turrets, the Space Police Oppressor is one ship you never want to see enter your planet’s atmosphere. While its hull is mostly taken up by its shielded hangar, which is capable of carrying up to three Space Police Enforcer ships, the ship’s bridge can hold several officers and has a communications array which can receive orders from Space Police Headquarters and whose broadcasts are able to remotely pilot the Enforcer ships. This monstrosity may not be popular with the galactic citizenry, but that hasn’t stopped the Space Police from ramping up production in the name of “peace”.

I was driving down the high way when I saw this. My camera was in the front seat, so I went to the side road and here is what I got. The plane landed at Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, GA. I can't remember which shuttle it is; time frame mid 80's? These are scans of the original slides.
Eutelsat has ordered a new-generation High Throughput Satellite offering unprecedented operational flexibility. To be launched in 2020, the all-electric satellite will be the first to use Thales Alenia Space's new Spacebus Neo platform.
This high-capacity broadband satellite will deliver significant resources for broadband services across Europe and Africa and set a new benchmark for flexibility in High Throughput Satellites.
Providing 75 Gbps of capacity across a network of 65 spotbeams, which together provide quasi-complete coverage of Sub-Saharan Africa, the satellite will address direct-to-user consumer and enterprise broadband services using dishes from approximately 75 cm. It will also be used for community networks connected to Wi-Fi hotspots, mobile phone backhauling and rural connectivity.

On Wednesday, September 19th Space Shuttle Endeavour took of from the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to begin her journey to California for display. After overnight stays at both Ellington Field in Texas and NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Endeavour would land for the final time at Los Angeles International Airport on September 21, 2012.

"On space walk day, you start off with an exercise period on a stationary bicycle while breathing 100% oxygen through a facemask. After that, the task of suiting up begins. You rely on help from an extra crew member who tugs on sleeves, straightens out wrinkles, locks connectors…. It reminds me of a squire in the Middle Ages helping his knight suit up for battle."
"It takes about six hours from the time you start in the morning until you are ready to open the hatch. After all of this preparation, you will not take lightly to a hatch that does not want to open. That’s what happened to us before our spacewalk earlier this year. The hatch dogs were partly released and allowed the hatch to crack open only 3/8th of an inch. A shaft of brilliant sunlight came through the crack, as if teasing us to come out and play."
"Fortunately, experience gained by owning an old pickup truck with cantankerous doors came in handy. With a little jockeying on the handle and some soft-spoken words, the hatch came open and we started our day."
"If we were chasing bad guys, I am afraid they would be well into hyperspace by now."
"In the sci-fi movies, astronauts can quickly do their spacesuits and in short order, be out the door into the vacuum of space. They’re always in a hurry to chase bad guys, alien monsters, or look for holes in the hull spewing out precious atmosphere," ISS science officer Don Pettit.
NASA and other organizations have developed a sophisticated weather monitoring device.
This NASA Global Climate Model (GCM) is used to see how Earth's climate is changing.
A GCM calculates many things, such as how much sunlight is reflected and absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, the temperature of the air and oceans, the distribution of clouds, rainfall, and snow, and what may happen to the polar ice caps in the future.

So it's totally Art! ; )
The Odenplan commuter train station, Stockholm. Designed by the Swedish architectural firm Ahlqvist&Almqvist, it opened in July 2017. The light-art installation is a site-specific work called Life Line, created by David Svensson (b. 1973).
The artist explains: "For the suburban train station Stockholm Odenplan, I have striven to develop a work of art with a clear identity and a significant presence, in keeping with the architectural space and function of the station. Life Line is a work based on the line - the basic element of drawing and visual language.
More specifically, the work takes its starting point in my son Isaac's pulse before birth in the summer of 2012. The brilliant lines that show the child's pulse become a metaphor for life. The various lines that relate to each other then form a kind of topographical landscape, a 350 square meter large lightwork. The artwork consists of a neon-like warm white LED, over 400-meter long and spread over 32 lines, which also serves as part of the venue's general lighting."
