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.
Colorado School of Mines professors from Space Resources and The Payne Institute for Public Policy met with Congressman Scott Tipton to discuss new space resources legislation.

Description:
Long before the power couples we know and love to have a good LOL at - David and Victoria Beckham, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Anna Nicole-Smith (RIP) and J. Howard Marshall - there was Adam and Eve: the OG power couple. Kirsten Fredericks and Sarah Howell present their joint exhibition, Adam and Eve, this Saturday at Blank_space, inviting viewers into their very own Garden of Eden with a tongue in cheek, perverse representation of the playfulness of sex, kitschy animalia and no doubt that bloody apple that started it all. I can taste the scandal already. Oh, and despite the adage that sex sells, this exhibition is free to all who give in to temptation. - EL
The John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC, originally known as the NASA Launch Operations Center) is one of ten National Aeronautics and Space Administration field centers. Since December 1968, KSC has been NASA's primary launch center of human spaceflight. Launch operations for the Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 and managed by KSC. Located on the east coast of Florida, KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS). The management of the two entities work very closely together, share resources, and even own facilities on each other's property.
Though the first Apollo flights and all Project Mercury and Project Gemini flights took off from CCAFS, the launches were managed by KSC and its previous organization, the Launch Operations Directorate. Starting with the fourth Gemini mission, the NASA launch control center in Florida (Mercury Control Center, later the Launch Control Center) began handing off control of the vehicle to the Mission Control Center in Houston, shortly after liftoff; in prior missions it held control throughout the entire mission.
Additionally, the center manages launch of robotic and commercial crew missions and researches food production and In-Situ Resource Utilization for off-Earth exploration. Since 2010, the center has worked to become a multi-user spaceport through industry partnerships, even adding a new launch pad (LC-39C) in 2015.
There are about 700 facilities and buildings grouped across the center's 144,000 acres (580 km2). Among the unique facilities at KSC are the 525-foot (160 m) tall Vehicle Assembly Building for stacking NASA's largest rockets, the Launch Control Center, which conducts space launches at KSC, the Operations and Checkout Building, which houses the astronauts dormitories and suit-up area, a Space Station factory, and a 3-mile (4.8 km) long Shuttle Landing Facility. There is also a Visitor Complex open to the public on site.

thanks to owners's dragon stores and thanks to fans goers of the dragonstore for the excellent advices.
Careful space planning was required for this financial company's offices in Plantation Place, London. The brief requested an office layout that ensured good communication between departments and the final design is a untiy of architecture and art that creates a journey of events for the occupants as they move around the space.

Aftermath of a research space rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Downtown L.A. It's a bit blurry, because I don't have a Tripod. I used the Mustang's rear window as a tripod replacement. With little success ;)

A clever infographic explores the unknown, revealing twenty strange things you can find in space.
Apart from the obvious stars and planets, space holds an astonishing variety of wonders. Solarcentre's infographic explains what can be found in space and why, such as the LEGO figures set to reach Jupiter this year, the phenomenon of space lightning, and one man's ashes.
Even Disney has seemingly contributed to life in space: in 2012, NASA captured a Mickey Mouse-shaped silhouette on Mercury (thought to have been created by crater impacts).

Watching Space shuttle launches is not really my thing but when my friend Paul Aughey set the trip up, how could I pass on going to Florida. The day before the launch, they predicted a 30% chance of a successful launch because of a tropical weather system passing through the area. Paul found a viewing access about seven miles to the north in Mosquito Lagoon (appropriately named I might add). Hundreds if not thousands of fellow kayakers and canoers lined the channel under the watchful eye of the U.S. Coast Guard. I have to admit I got kinda teary-eyed when the thing took off. I think the coolest thing was about 90 seconds after it took off this incredible thunderous roar reached us. It sounded and vibrated like heavy thunder but it lasted for minutes. It was amazing. Too bad my longest lens was on a 300 mm.
This is my WiP of Canis wolfborne. I magnetized the arms so i could use him as a wolf lord with various wargear options.
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:

It's nice to own a garage, it would be even nice to be able to put a car in it. We have a gararge chocca full of items that are worth a fraction of what the car is!
