Rendered with Bluerender (which at the moment renders trans elements a bit too darkly).

Mission: SPACE is a motion simulator thrill ride at Epcot. It simulates what an astronaut might experience aboard a spacecraft on a mission to Mars, from the higher g-force of blastoff to the speculative hypersleep.
The attraction opened to the public in a "soft opening" mode in June 2003, and celebrated its grand opening on October 9 with a ceremony attended by Disney CEO Michael Eisner, HP CEO Carly Fiorina and NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe, as well as several NASA astronauts from its many phases of human space exploration (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, the space shuttle program and two crew members aboard the International Space Station).
The attraction was built on the former site of Horizons, a dark ride that offered optimistic visions of what life might be like in the future. Horizons closed permanently in 1999 after a few years of sporadic operation; construction began on Mission: SPACE shortly thereafter. Industry estimates put the cost of developing the new attraction at US$100 million.
Initially it was sponsored by Compaq, which began working with Disney Imagineers on the design in April 2000. Hewlett-Packard assumed the sponsorship upon its merger with Compaq in 2002. The simulator hardware used in Mission: SPACE was designed and built by Environmental Tectonics Corporation of Pennsylvania with a nearly $30 million contract awarded in February 2000. Environmental Tectonics sued Disney in 2003 seeking over $15 million US alleging failure to pay the full amount of the contract and sharing proprietary design details with competitors. Disney countersued alleging the company failed to deliver according to the contract and increased the cost of the ride by nearly $20 million US. The companies settled in January 2009

My little space and robot doodles custom printed by Spoonflower on cotton fabric. This is a little bundle of two fat quarters tied together with an orange robot trim. . .
Even though there are actually Valkyrie kits with the FAST packages for deep space use available, this is a self-made conversion with many extra parts from various Valkyrie kits and some extra "functions".
The basis had been a normal 1:100 ARII Battroid mode VF-1A kit. But legs, arms and especially the torso were modified. Besides the FAST pack additions, the legs received additional joints. The hip mounting was totally mofidied to allow 3D movement of the legs (Actually, a different lower body part from a transformable 1:100 Valkyrie from the "junkyard" was implanted for good use). The arms also received FAST pack additions (which include more detailed missiles, from the Valkyrie fighter mode kits) and also additional joints as well as new, more delicate hands to give a more agile impression (coming from leftover Dorvack PA-58 Powered Armors kits, actually they are 1:24th scale!).
To fit with the more slender lower body parts from the transformable kit the upper torso had to be elongated. The upper body's back side was totally modified to hold moveable wings, also from a transformable Valkyire kit in 1:100. Thorugh this huge modification the wings can now actually be swung into landing position, and even seperate rocket pods can be added in 4 vinyl caps!
The FAST rocket boosters on the back are leftover standard pieces from a 1:100 scale Valkyrie Gerwalk kit from Bandai (ex Arii), though also modified in detail.
Finally, the color scheme: it is a standard pattern of Roy Fokker's "Skull" squadron, just displaying a Valkyrie "from the lot", nothing specific. Basis is a satin white, and almost all squadron markings in black and blue were applied with paint and by hand, since no decals for this "version" were available at the time of making.
* WARNING: This weapon/Battroid arrangement is not authentic. The Rö-X2A shoulder laser can only be mounted on VF-1S Valkyries, the A, J and D versions only take the "simple" rocket pods.
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 Space Shaman. In 2019, Space Shaman could be found standing alone near the Temple of Direction at Burning Man. Space Shaman often relayed a private message from the cosmos to BRC citizens, but first they made a request. They had a stranger take a polaroid photo of Space Shaman in front of the Temple. Space Shaman then gifted the stranger the polaroid. It contained a photo of the Temple but Space Shaman was not visible, and a personal message was written at the bottom of the polaroid.

I took the international space station (ISS) on Dec 26th, 2010 in Tokyo. It rose from south west, passed almost vertex, set into northeast. In this picture, the ISS was setting.
I composited 14 photos to make a bright trajectory of ISS.

"Space Shuttle" Explorer on display at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
This is a full-scale replica of a Space Shuttle, so it has never flown. Internal details of the mock-up are not remarkably accurate, though the size and scope of the payload bay is correct. Externally, the mock-up features simulated thermal protection system tiles (bearing numbers, as the genuine flight articles do), paneling that looks like reinforced carbon-carbon panels on the leading edges of the wings, and Michelin tires on the landing gear.

An expansion on my Classic Space in 20 minutes build, this is a simple vignette of the kind found in a number of the Classic Space sets.
Captain Brick is checking things at a remote outpost, and realizes that someone left the fridge open. He's trying to radio Private Click to chew him out, but he doesn't realize that Click also left his radio there on the outpost platform, and that Click is chillin' in the Scout waiting for Brick to return.
Captain Brick: *ksshk" Private Click! You let the dang fridge door open again, and everything froze in minutes!
Private Click (with no radio): *hums* who let the dogs out... hoo hoo
Brick: *ksshk* Private! Come in, Private! Dang it, man!
Old office space and the last telco I had there. Ended on the table literally being yanked from under my arms :)
Took me a while, but I’ve now made a speeder for each of the 90s throwback CMFs from series 26. I like how they look together. If you scroll down I’ve got a few more speeders for old Space factions. Who should I build one for next?

The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, a landmark of the Pacific Northwest, and an icon of Seattle. It was built in the Seattle Center for the 1962 World's Fair, which drew over 2.3 million visitors, when nearly 20,000 people a day used its elevators.
Once the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River,it is 605 ft (184 m) high, 138 ft (42 m) wide, and weighs 9,550 tons. It is built to withstand winds of up to 200 miles per hour (89 m/s) and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude,as strong as the 1700 Cascadia earthquake. It also has 25 lightning rods.
It has an observation deck at 520 ft (160 m) and the rotating SkyCity restaurant at 500 ft (150 m).The downtown Seattle skyline, as well as the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, Elliott Bay and surrounding islands can be viewed from the top of the Needle. Photographs of the Seattle skyline often show the Space Needle prominently, above skyscrapers and Mount Rainier.
Visitors can reach the top of the Space Needle by elevators that travel at 10 miles per hour (4.5 m/s). The trip takes 41 seconds. On windy days, the elevators slow to 5 miles per hour (2.2 m/s). On April 19, 1999, the city's Landmarks Preservation Board designated it a historic landmark.
