"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."
Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

The thing's hollow—it goes on forever—and—oh my God—it's full of stars!

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.
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.

JSC2004-E-44648 (September 2004) --- A technician checks the International Space Station's Cupola in the Alenia Spazio clean room in Turin, Italy. Personnel are preparing the hardware for shipment to NASA's launch facility at Cape Kennedy, Florida. From inside the Cupola, a dome-shaped module with seven windows, astronauts have a panoramic view for observing operations on the outside of the orbiting complex. The Cupola module provides external observation capabilities during spacewalks, docking operations, hardware surveys and for Earth and celestial studies. It also serves as the primary location for executing robot arm operations of Canadarm2. Until the Cupola is installed, crews have been using a robotic control computer station located in the Destiny Laboratory to operate the arm. The Cupola’s windows enhance the robotic arm operator's situational awareness, supplementing camera and graphic views provided by the computer workstation. Photo Credit: Alenia Spazio

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.

This is an alt-build using only pieces from the Robo Stalker, 2153. I originally wanted to make a Vic Viper and a separate land vehicle but the focus went into the ship, which also diverted a bit from the usual Viper proportions. Most of the remaining pieces were used for a repair station and rover.

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 part of the Science Museum that paid the price for being an unusable sort of space and was inexplicably partitioned off from the main drag of amusements in the museum. I may have got some funny looks for taking this. I may have garnered even more funny looks for posting it, but hey.
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.
thanks to owners's dragon stores and thanks to fans goers of the dragonstore for the excellent advices.
Things that I found online to use for inspiration and thought I would share. Again, these are not mine! If I knew how to backtrack the creators not listed to give them credit I would. I hope that you enjoy!
This is one of my masks I made for my White Walls show! Now up for sale to help pay for somebody medical bills....Cancer :(
