Built for the I LUG NY LUG Window in the Queens Store. It'll be installed sometime in the next week or so.
It's too big for a background. Also I'm lazy like that.

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.

"If only".
Well I guess you all can just go ahead and say whatever you want.
You know, my problem is I always give too much hope while things are not even started yet. And that is why I often end up disappointing myself.
My fault, isn't it? Sure.
Do me a favor, though. Next time when you're not so sure about something, please do not tell me until you really are.
This sucks.
From the Japanese series "Space Battleship Yamato," which saw a limited run in the USA as "Starblazers."
The 160mm long miniature is from Megahouse, and made in China. Where else would a heroic Japanese battleship be made?
Tech: focus stacked image made from seven images taken with a tripod-mounted Canon EOS 60D. f/16, and the focus steps were made manually. Merged in PhotoAcute Studio.
Strobist: Yongnuo YN-560 III with a Rogue Grid on camera left; Yongnuo YN-560 camera right with a Rogue beam bender, bent into a snoot, with a blue gel. All fired with Yongnuo RF-603 C3 radio triggers.
Most activities can be done remotely but having a person on the spot gives a problem solving capability that is valuable.
As the lunar infrastructure expands, remote operations will be more common. There will be super-conducting magnetically levitated transport networks that will operate during the two-week lunar night. The same technology can be used for launching payloads into lunar orbit or even to the earth.
It is hard to say what will be profitable in the future since we have no idea what things will be like 25 to 50 years down the road. No doubt there will be something of value even if it is simply tourism.
Experience learned from lunar surface operations will be directly applicable to Mars and asteroid activities. The idea of bypassing the moon and proceeding directly to Mars is ludicrous and inherently unsafe. Everything we need to know for life in deep space will be learned in an environment close by the earth where supplies and help are readily available.
i find the idea of a single person spacecraft very interesting.
On the moon you could ride around on one of those robotic dogs the military is experimenting with. On asteroids, they just fly around it rarely touching the surface. You might be able to conduct 7 to 10 day excursions with something like that.

Set up has been rough at Pirateland. The spaces are tight and getting to the space is tighter. We finally settled down four days into the trip. We took a ride into Myrtle to see where the old pavilion was and the first thing we see at a circle K right across from Mammy’s is a guy beating the hell out of a woman. So I pulled in the lot really fast and he saw a big truck aimed at him. He backed off just a little. Vera got on the phone and we couldn’t get through to 911 because the signal was breaking up. I looked around to see if this was a set up and it didn’t look like it. Anther guy we saw was were there to help so he jumped in and we kept them apart. Vera couldn’t get through on my phone either. About four other cars sat there and were filming. The victim took a few good shots and gave a few herself but she got to her car. Another lady in the lot consoled her and we stayed there until everything seemed to calm down. We left the beater sitting on the curb. He looked beyond messed up. So we did a good deed. We couldn’t believe the change in the town. We saw a lot of gold teeth and pink hair! Later that week Trina told me a couple was shot trying to break up a fight.
We have one of the best spots in the camp but for millions of lake bugs at night. But they go away. Oh we saved some ducks from two asshole teenagers that tried to run them down with a golf cart. There must be hundreds of carts here. I think the carts out number the bugs.
The fish jump in the lake and Aroo got her first taste of salt water. So far she liked the edge of the water better. She has made a few friends and likes to cuss at everybody. Taco is holding the fort down. She told everyone to stay six feet apart from me, but to give her plenty of scratches. She made sure I stood back so the hot ladies she was picking up couldn’t give me the same good scratches she was getting!

I thought it was impossible to be that slow!
Pirateland has a bad sewer problem at night. Lots of parks seem to have the same problem, but this is extraordinarily bad. I wonder why nobody swims in the bays in the park. All but a couple of the store staff are extremely difficult. It is like they intentionally are trying to run away customers. One of the staff members has a bad gum problem and you can hear her snap it as she orders people around the store. The electric hook up in my spot looks like it was jury rigged. The sewer fitting is so high the tanks don’t drain unless you work the hose. It seems like all of the campgrounds have had fire problems except for the State Park. The campgrounds all but the State Park have full time condos or single wide trailers built with a deck patio. If you happen to be coming down one of the roads and someone has company it takes an extra hour to get them out of the way so you can get your trailer through. For example we got goose necked by a work crew with no information from the gate security.
Beyond this thread but important to my friends.Some police blotters I missed while I was gone.

Vacations take planning and work. After a long drive home our security gate keeper got your code wrong for the second time in the same trip. So i took my woman to the nearest church and walked her home. i went back and camped out on the other side of the fence. it’s always something. If i had to I would go back to buggy Pirateland but I’d bring a head net to put over my head so I wouldn’t inhale so many bugs! By my photos you would think I was at a fisherman’s paradise. But even the die hard fisherman went home and the spiders came out to feast on the bugs!

Aujourd'hui j'ai reçu ma boîte de Space Crusade achetée sur Ebay. Ca fait presque 20 ans que je voulais ce jeu. Hourra.
Today I received my Space Crusade box purchased on Ebay. I've been wanting this game for almost 20 years.
If you didn't know that I am a huge fan of negative space, now you know. :)
I really don't know if I like this photo or not.
Happy Friday!
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.

Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. It entered service in 1984 and retired from spaceflight as the oldest and most accomplished orbiter, the champion of the shuttle fleet. Discovery flew on 39 Earth-orbital missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled almost 240 million kilometers (150 million miles)--more than the other orbiters. It shuttled 184 men and women into space and back, many of whom flew more than once, for a record-setting total crew count of 251.
Because Discovery flew every kind of mission the Space Shuttle was meant to fly, it embodies well the 30-year history of U.S. human spaceflight from 1981 to 2011. Named for renowned sailing ships of exploration, Discovery is preserved as intact as possible as it last flew in 2011 on the 133rd Space Shuttle mission.
NASA transferred Discovery to the Smithsonian in April 2012 after a delivery flight over the nation's capital.
