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.
Group photo of NASM staff, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) staff, and contract workers posed in front of Space Shuttle Discovery (OV-103) (A20120325000) in the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, April 23, 2012. The people appearing in this photo were all part of bring the Space Shuttle Discovery (OV-103) to NASM and readying it for display.

International Space Station Flyover. It was a bit too early and the sky wasn't dark enough for longer exposures.
Not mucn functionality intended, as this study was mostly about the looks of it. As a consequence, it just has the basic opening cockpit and the detachable robot.

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.

My sewing space is one end of our dining table and the cupboard and a nook in our spare room. There are a lot of white walls so really a blank canvas for you partner! I've included a picture of the few storage solutions that I have, which is not many, so really, anything you make will be very welcome!! Thank you!! The quilt is on the spare bed, it makes my mosaic look very pink, I don't need too much pink! ;)

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.

Dziś byliśmy całą zgrają (U+A+F+F+ja) na naszych łąkach, które szybko zamieniają się w działki budowlane... W tym tygodniu postawiono około 30 skrzynek elektrycznych... Ta wiosna nie będzie nasza...
PS: mamy naprawdę znakomity wózek terenowy odziedziczony po Igorze i Filipie Borysie. Myślę, że jego przebieg to ze 2-3 tyś km i to bez serwisowania. Wszędzie wjedzie. Zainteresowanym podam markę i typ wedle życzenia.

A replica of the Hubble Space Telescope at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.
The Hubble Space Telescope was carried into orbit by the space shuttle Discovery in April 1990. It is named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Although not the first space telescope, the Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well-known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy. The telescope is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency.
After 19 years in space Hubble is nearing the end of its life, but the STS-125 service mission (that we would witness the launch of the next day) has prolonged its life so that it should continue to provide us with an eye into deep space until the day the next generation telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, is operative.
Manufacturer: Rockwell International Corporation
Country of Origin: United States of America
Dimensions:
Overall: 57 ft. tall x 122 ft. long x 78 ft. wing span, 150,000 lb. (1737.36 x 3718.57 x 2377.44cm, 68039.6kg)
Materials:
Aluminum airframe and body with some fiberglass features; payload bay doors are graphite epoxy composite; thermal tiles are simulated (polyurethane foam) except for test samples of actual tiles and thermal blankets.
The first Space Shuttle orbiter, "Enterprise," is a full-scale test vehicle used for flights in the atmosphere and tests on the ground; it is not equipped for spaceflight. Although the airframe and flight control elements are like those of the Shuttles flown in space, this vehicle has no propulsion system and only simulated thermal tiles because these features were not needed for atmospheric and ground tests. "Enterprise" was rolled out at Rockwell International's assembly facility in Palmdale, California, in 1976. In 1977, it entered service for a nine-month-long approach-and-landing test flight program. Thereafter it was used for vibration tests and fit checks at NASA centers, and it also appeared in the 1983 Paris Air Show and the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans. In 1985, NASA transferred "Enterprise" to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum.

Me buscas conflicto, yo te busco porque te tengo todavía. Eres el mejor de mis regalos.
Un gracias al editors (:

Commander Liu is holding the legendary Golden Fly. Did he just make the greatest catch or has he lost his long trusted companion? You decide but it goes without saying, that is one big bug!
I made this for the Frog collab run by Simon Liu for Brickworld Chicago this year. Yes- I'll be going and I hope to see some of you this June!
This build was fun and was a resurrected version of a few mocs I've started over the past few years. He has chairs for abs, a duplo tube for his neck guard, minifig helmets for toes and fingers, and a pneumatic cylinder as part of his jet pack.
Even more B.C. parents will have access to child care as the Province marks the latest milestone in its popular Childcare BC plan with funding for more than 13,000 new spaces since July 2018. Read more: news.gov.bc.ca/21725
"Shared Space" is a tool that allows scenographers to create virtual sound spheres in any space in a museum. This new experience offers the public the possibility to merge more deeply with works of art. While wearing headphones, the visitor is at the center of every sound. Depending on their location in the museum, the visitor can focus on a specific sound, story, or sound texture. In this way, senses other than sight, may be aroused and stimulated.

This closeup photo shows the lower portion of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as the giant observatory is berthed in Discovery's cargo bay. The shielded apparatus at the bottom of the frame is the flight support system (FSS), a turntable device similar to a "Lazy Susan" because of its ability to rotate and tilt to assist the upcoming servicing tasks. The image was recorded on Dec. 21, 1999 and was downlinked at the completion of the third HST servicing mission's first spacewalk on the following day by the busy STS-103 astronauts.

Postcard had to include some sort of sewn element. Luckily it did not have to be perfectly rectangular or I would have failed...
The green background is a tyvek sort of material from an old bag - it does not hold up well to ironing! The astronaut and Saturn snippets are from the era when C-boy was obsessed with space; the gold strip is a scrap leftover from my Halloween cape. Stamp from stash.
