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.
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.

When I saw space as the challenge for today, I thought of outer space but then I started to think of the space around us and went for a drive. Living in the country, I get to see alot of wide open space. You can see for miles without another car or person around!

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.

I took a little break from my usual mecha building to do some space craft! I guess technically this is a Medix Max alt build, which makes it special? Maybe? Probably not.
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 ;)
