From the Japanese series "Space Battleship Yamato," which saw a limited run in the USA as "Starblazers."
The stand was really dusty, so I cut everything out and grabbed an image of Jupiter from the Hubble Telescope website.
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 four images taken with a tripod-mounted Canon EOS 60D. f/16, and the focus steps were made manually. Merged in PhotoAcute Studio.
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.

in the 1970's a Californian, H.L. “Smokey” Rolland, took a DC3 from the scrap pile (A hijacking to Cuba is part of the plane's lore) Trim the fuselage and mount it onto a school bus frame. And Voila! you have a motor home.
“Air V” was for the first street legal DC3 in California. It probably still is.
After a number of years "Smokey" sells the "Air V" to Robert and Heike Pfeiffer. They were inspired by NASA and converted the vehicle to look like a Space Shuttle. They Christen there modified vehicle "The Smile Shuttle"
"The Smile Shuttle" is taken overseas and appears in event across Europe through the mid 80's
When TSS returns from Europe it out in the Mojave Desert, East of Los Angeles, when Phil and Becky Petersen Discovered it.
TSS was not in good shape and it took four years of work to get it up an running again. This time as a "Roach Coach" of sorts.
Now newly renovated and a kitchen added "The Smile Shuttle" Is reincarnated one more time as it is now known. The Space Shuttle Cafe.
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.

Space Kidettes Production Cels Group of 2 (Hanna-Barbera, 1966). This show about child astronauts premiered on NBC, on 9/10/66. Here is a pair of hand-painted production cels . One is of the Space Kiddettes -- Scooter, Jenny, Countdown, and Snoopy -- all four shown in nice images of 3". The second cel is of the show's villains, Skyhook and Static, in their spaceship. A wonderful 7" image. Both cels are on printed backgrounds, for presentation purposes. Rare cels from a cult-favorite show, made during the Space Race-era!

The first Space Shuttle orbiter, Enterprise is a full-scale test vehicle used for flights in the atmosphere and tests on the ground. Officially designated Orbiter Vehicle 101 (OV-101), Enterprise is not equipped for spaceflight. It has no propulsion systems and only simulated thermal tiles.
In 1977 Enterprise completed approach and landing tests at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in California: It was flown atop a Boeing 747 carrier airplane and also released for piloted descents to check out its systems and performance. It later underwent launch vibration tests and fit checks at other NASA centers. Although Enterprise never flew in space, it introduced a new era in space transportation and was the flagship for a fleet of reusable shuttles. The Smithsonian acquired Enterprise in 1985.

Here we see Susan performing Lennons "Imagine".
She surprised (me) with new covers of Sixto Rodriguez
("I Wonder") and Patti Smith ("Because the Night"), bravo!
The consert was beautiful and moving, and the place was packed.
A splendid time was had for all.
Thanks for the visit Susan!

The Space Shuttle was the first operational orbital spacecraft designed for reuse. It carried different payloads to low Earth orbit, provided crew rotation and supplies for the International Space Station (ISS), and performed servicing missions. The orbiter could also recover satellites and other payloads from orbit and return them to Earth. Each Shuttle was designed for a projected lifespan of 100 launches or ten years of operational life, although this was later extended.
Each Space Shuttle is a reusable launch system that is composed of three main assemblies: the reusable Orbiter Vehicle (OV), the expendable external tank (ET), and the two reusable solid rocket boosters (SRBs).[22] Only the orbiter entered orbit shortly after the tank and boosters are jettisoned. The vehicle was launched vertically like a conventional rocket, and the orbiter glided to a horizontal landing like an airplane, after which it was refurbished for reuse. The SRBs parachuted to splashdown in the ocean where they were towed back to shore and refurbished for later Shuttle missions.
Three Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSMEs) are mounted on the orbiter's aft fuselage in a triangular pattern. The engine nozzles can swivel 10.5 degrees up and down, and 8.5 degrees from side to side during ascent to change the direction of their thrust to steer the Shuttle. The orbiter structure is made primarily from aluminum alloy, although the engine structure is made primarily from titanium alloy. (excerpted from Wikipedia)

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.

Space Telescope Science Institute astronomers are giving the public chances to decide where to aim NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Guided by 8,000 Internet voters, Hubble has already been used to take a close-up, multi-color picture of the most popular object from a list of candidates, the extraordinary "polar-ring" galaxy NGC 4650A. Located about 130 million light-years away, NGC 4650A is one of only 100 known polar-ring galaxies. Their unusual disk-ring structure is not yet understood fully. One possibility is that polar rings are the remnants of colossal collisions between two galaxies sometime in the distant past, probably at least 1 billion years ago. What is left of one galaxy has become the rotating inner disk of old red stars in the center. Meanwhile, another smaller galaxy which ventured too close was probably severely damaged or destroyed. The bright bluish clumps, which are especially prominent in the outer parts of the ring, are regions containing luminous young stars, examples of stellar rebirth from the remnants of an ancient galactic disaster. The polar ring appears to be highly distorted. No regular spiral pattern stands out in the main part of the ring, and the presence of young stars below the main ring on one side and above on the other shows that the ring is warped and does not lie in one plane. Determining the typical ages of the stars in the polar ring is an initial goal of our Polar Ring Science Team that can provide a clue to the evolution of this unusual galaxy. The HST exposures were acquired by the Hubble Heritage Team, consisting of Keith Noll, Howard Bond, Carol Christian, Jayanne English, Lisa Frattare, Forrest Hamilton, Anne Kinney and Zolt Levay, and guest collaborators Jay Gallagher (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Lynn Matthews (National Radio Astronomy Observatory-Charlottesville), and Linda Sparke (University of Wisconsin-Madison).
If you have one, then best to let the world know about it, I'd say.

"Earth is dying. For the past 500 years mankind constructed a space station to home as many survivors as possible before our planet couldn't support life any longer.
The ice caps had melted leaving 90% of the earth covered with water. Hundreds of millions of people lived a cramped, crime ridden, densly populated slum cities around the world and quickly used up every natural resource. The space agencies had advanced to search our own solar system looking for a place to inhabit but to no avail. The space station will aid in a galaxy wide search for a new home.
Almost dead, Earth suffered a direct hit from a giant metor which prompted the evacuation to Space Station #5. Millions would be left behind".
