The Lancer is a single seat, three engine interceptor designed to get places quickly on short notice. It is armed with four lasers and two missiles for interception.
The Sokol SK-1 suit was worn by Yuri Gagarin during the first flight to orbit the Earth, on April 12, 1961. It was fully pressurized and had connectors for a life support system. (I'm pretty sure this is a Sokol SK-1 suit, not the actual suit Gagarin wore!)
I was bemused by the lace-up boots. I can only assume they have airtight lining.
This exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum is titled "Apollo: When We Went to the Moon", but it includes the historical background of the space program (starting with the Cold War) and also contains items from the Soviet space program.
Space Kidettes Production Cels Group of 2 (Hanna-Barbera, 1966). This show about child astronauts premiered on NBC, on 9/10/66. Here is a pair of hand-painted production cels . One is of the Space Kiddettes -- Scooter, Jenny, Countdown, and Snoopy -- all four shown in nice images of 3". The second cel is of the show's villains, Skyhook and Static, in their spaceship. A wonderful 7" image. Both cels are on printed backgrounds, for presentation purposes. Rare cels from a cult-favorite show, made during the Space Race-era!
My Space Ship for the smugglers life for me contest. I decided to make a smaller ship, just barely fitting the boxes, ive completed the back, but im really not sure of what to do for the front, any suggestions?
Space shuttle Atlantis sits on display inside the new 100 million dollar exhibit hall at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The grand opening will be held on June 29, 2013.
When you have photos with open space, you also need photos with closed places. It makes you feel like your cramped in with them in this photo. You get to share the feeling they have when they seem to be wishing for some more room.
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.
"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."

Mission: SPACE, a motion simulator ride at Epcot theme park, is as close as you can get to blasting off into space without leaving Earth. This attraction for big kids, teens and adults realistically mimics what an astronaut might experience during a space flight to Mars.
Each member of your astronaut team has a challenging role in a dynamic and daring cosmic mission dodging meteors and navigating nebulae. Mission: SPACE is available in 2 versions—select the Orange Team for exhilarating and intense training or opt for the Green Team and have a less intense galactic adventure.
Pre-Show for Mission: SPACE
You are invited to train for the very first mission to Mars aboard the X-2 Deep Space Shuttle at the International Space Training Center (ISTC) on the 75th anniversary of man's first mission into space. Make your way to the Recruiting Center where you will choose a team—comprised of 4 members—for training.
Each team member will be given an on-board position with unique assignments to perform during the mission. The positions include Navigator, Pilot, Commander and Engineer. Before beginning the training exercise, trainees will watch an introductory video about the mission starring actor Gary Sinise.
The Journey to Mars
After the mission briefing, make your way inside the space capsule—sitting side by side with the other members of your team. Feel the rush of take-off as you embark on a thrill-packed training adventure through space to Mars.
During the simulation, rocket around the moon, experience a brief period of simulated hypersleep, and land on the reddened surface of Mars, before blasting back to Earth.
The outcome of your mission varies depending on how well you and your teammates perform your assignments.
Select the Orange Team or the Green Team
Mission: SPACE utilizes a multiple-arm centrifuge that spins and tilts to simulate the illusion of speed and gravitational forces. Realistic sounds from overhead and vivid video images only add to the experience of the simulation.
As an astronaut in training, you are given the choice to be a part of the Orange Team or the Green Team.
The Orange Team is a more intense training session and is the original version of the attraction, where you will experience forces up to 2.4G—more than twice the force of the Earth's gravitational pull.
The Green Team has a less intense experience. You do not feel forces up to 2.4G when choosing this option. If you are prone to motion sickness, you should opt for the Green Team.

The Mirror Space is a site-specific interactive and performative installation conceived for the Buffer Zone. Its aim is to provide a space for reflection and connection. The Mirror Space is a space for reflecting on the known and unknown and for dreaming new connections and healing stories. It is both what the historian Pierre Nora defines as a milieu de mémoire for Cypriots, within the lieu de mémoire of division and war that is the Buffer Zone.
The Mirror Space is an open metal skeleton construction with a wooden stage approximately 7m x 5m in area and 4m in height. Its aesthetic echoes the watchtowers in the Buffer Zone and also has a post-industrial aesthetic of international non-places or non-lieux in the terminology of the philosopher Marc Augé . The stage has benches facing away from each other and outwards from the structure towards the two 'sides' of the buffer zone. The structure has panels of mirror adhesive placed in such a way that when the participants are seated they see not themselves, but the faces of the participants sitting behind them and facing away from them.
Relation of Performance to the theme/buffer zone:
The Mirror Space is a peaceful place for reflection on the in-between space of the Buffer Zone, and a place where the mirrors reflect not the face of the one who gazes but the face of the 'other' who is gazing away. Though you have your back turned on them, you see the face of the other. It is a space that is both playful and loving, a space open to chance encounters and coincidental synchronicities created by the magic of mirrors, intellectual reflection and emotional perception. Participants are free to perform as they please within this space of dreaming.

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.
