A sipmle sketch I made from memory. Sorry for the lack of my usual gradual shading, it was done on the back of an e-mail printout. 2B Pencil, no smudging.
Crewmembers of NASA's 41-D mission take a group shot displaying their fun moments in space aboard the orbiter Discovery. Crewmembers are (counter-clockwise from center) crew commander Henry W. Harsfield Jr., pilot Michael L. Coats, mission specialist Steven A. Hawley, mission specialist Judith A. Resnik, payload specialist Charles D. Walker, and mission specialist Richard M. Mullane. Dr. Judith Resnik is shown enjoying the weightlessness of space during her first mission. Born on April 5, 1949 in Akron, Ohio, she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1970, and a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from University of Maryland in 1977. Dr. Resnik joined NASA in 1978 as a senior systems engineer in product development with Xerox Corporation at El Segundo, California. NASA later selected her as an astronaut candidate in January 1978; she completed a 1-year training and evaluation period in August 1979. Dr. Resnik died on January 28, 1986 on her second mission, during the failed launch of Challenger STS-51 L.

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.
Electricsprout recommended I crop another picture I took. This is the result, and I think he may have been right
This is what gives the front elements that nice background surround. It also serves as a spacer, and to keep dirt from the shutter cover. It just lifts off.
A panoramic view of the Space Shuttle Enterprise (OV-101). This was the first shuttle built and was primarily used for approach and landing tests (ALT). NASA intended to retrofit the Enterprise for space flight after the construction of the shuttle Columbia, but design changes during Columbia's construction made this prohibitively expensive.

off to the moon with her monkey friend!
we were packing for a snowboarding trip and couldn't resist putting one of our helmets on her.
Mariana Mazzucato talks at the "Space for Inspiration – International Space Station and beyond” event at the Science Museum, London, 14-15 September 2016. ESA, industry and experts from many disciplines look at how human spaceflight has changed our daily lives, and what the future holds.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour on the 1st morning of it's 4 day journey through Los Angeles. One of four retired orbiters it will be displayed at the California Science Center. Shuttle Enterprise will be in New York, the Shuttle Discovery in Virgina, and the Shuttle Atlantis in Florida.
Maar ik had toch telkens het gevoel dat ze weer zouden opstijgen om terug te gaan naar hun eigen planeet.
'Space for Inspiration' is an international conference organised by the European Space Agency for everyone curious about space exploration and why it matters. The second edition's theme -is ‘Living in our universe’.

The Dunwich Dynamo is a turn-up-and-go challenging free-entry overnight 120 mile bicycle ride on-tarmac from London Fields in Hackney to the lonely Suffolk beach at Dunwich. It’s not a race. It’s unsupported. There’s no van following. It’s a long way. We have to get from Leicester to London via train first...
