DougTrumbull- The Earth image seen through the window of the space station was a rear-projected four-by-five transparency in a special rotating mount.
Galaxies, black holes, dark matter; night oceans and shimmering darkness. A new attempt with this construction, I’ve been building and tearing it down, starting over, again, the process... trying to find the right expression. Now it has to be finished for a while....
Built in 1962, the Space Needle has since become the symbol of Seattle, and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.

I'm playing around with Disney icons in Black & White. Here's Epcot's Space Ship Earth.

Thanks for stopping by.

12-01-28 05-36-13 I am glad I got up early this morning, the seeing was mushy for Mars but steadied up a bit for Saturn. You can see the northern polar region in this image. Good to see the rings open again too.
this is the detail of a half sphere steel structure. it's made of these triangles and that's what i like about triangles. one can construct any shape/surface by using triangles...
Visual proof that space gets bent when time flies at a carnival.
No, I did not take a ride, but I see the possibilities. Maybe next time.
The Cyclone, Tigersharks Carnival at Pacifica, CA.
Thanks to Janet for the title: spacetimecurvature
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.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy joins Speaker Ryan as he signs the SPACE Act, which will strengthen commercial space innovation.
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.
2 feet in diameter; stained glass, dichroic glass, mirror, crystals, pearls, glass beads, and vintage costume jewelry on a wood base.
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.

article by Douglas Trumbull on creating Special Effects for 2001: A Space Odyssey
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.
