Developed by the European Space Agency, Spacelab was a modular laboratory system installed in the payload bay of the Space Shuttle orbiter. During Spacelab missions in the 1980s and 1990s, the Shuttle served as an intermittent space station for research conducted by scientists and astronauts. The laboratory module, a pressurized cylindrical room connected by a tunnel to the crew cabin, was Spacelab's primary element. It was outfitted with racks containing subsystems, computers, work stations, stowage lockers, supplies, equipment, and experiments that varied from mission to mission.
Two laboratory modules were flown on a total of 16 missions from 1983 through 1998. This one, Module #1, was used nine times, first on the Spacelab 1 mission in 1983 and last on the Microgravity Science Laboratory missions in 1997. NASA transferred it to the Museum when the Spacelab program ended.

Once I had a baby Exo Suit I needed a baby turtle to go with it. Added a Teenage Stellar Robot Turtle for good measure! The daddy turtle is Peter Reid's from set 21109.

As dorky as the concept of the flamin' RV is, I have to admit to loving it. It's huge and clunky and packed with awesome.

" ADM
De ADM bestaat al bijna 15 jaar als woon-werkgemeenschap van kunstenaars en vrijdenkers die nauw verbonden zijn met elkaar door de ruimte die ze delen.
De culturele vrijhaven ADM is een van de laatste grote woon/werk gemeenschappen van de stad. Op het terrein wonen 125 kunst- en theatermakers, decorbouwers, uitvinders, dansers, musici, ambachtslieden, zeebonken en vrijbuiters, levensgenieters en andersdenkenden. Experiment, uitwisseling en spontaniteit hebben er voor gezorgd dat de ADM voor altijd een plek in het culturele klimaat van Amsterdam verworven heeft. Zo is o.a. het succesvolle Robodock festival op het ADM geboren, werd de eerste uitvoering van Merlijn Twaalhoven’s La Vie N’est Pas Une Chocolat hier gerealiseerd en werden de spraakmakende bakbrommerrace kampioenschappen hier georganiseerd.
Het ADM is, zoals zoveel andere (kraak)gemeenschappen, een vruchtbare kiemgrond voor het lokale en (inter)nationale cultuurklimaat. Gemeenschappen als deze (rafelranden van de stad) blijken vaak een voortrekkersrol te vervullen voor wat nu wordt bestempeld als de Creatieve Industrie. Wat wij met z’n allen doen, maar vooral ook ZIJN, vormt voor anderen vaak een bron van inspiratie. Van vrijwel niets is er een bloeiende, creatieve gemeenschap gemaakt.
ADM Ruimte Festival
Van 26 t/m 28 augustus 2011 is de voormalige scheepswerf ADM in de Westhaven het decor voor het jaarlijkse ADM Festival. Na water, lucht, aarde en bliksem schieten we de ruimte in en lanceren een nieuw festival: Het ADM Ruimte Festival.
De vijfde in de serie van de elementen: de ruimte, de vrije ruimte, de ruimte waarin alles ontstaat, de ruimte in je hoofd.
Thema
Ruimte is van en voor iedereen. Krakers, kunstenaars, creatieven en andere non-conformisten worden echter steeds verder uit de publieke ruimte verjaagd.
Het resultaat van dit beleid is een zeer eentonig, dichtgetimmerd stedelijk landschap, waar geen ruimte is voor experimenten en het spontaan ontstaan van afwijkende of vernieuwende ideeen.
Volgens ons kan het anders! Kom naar het Ruimte Festival op het ADM en geef je over aan een van de laatste stukjes vrije ruimte in Amsterdam. Welkom in No Mans Land.
Programma
Ruim 60 (inter)nationale kunstenaars laten zich leiden door het thema Ruimte.
Het uitgestrekte ADM terrein (6000 m2) vormt het podium voor een spektakel van muziek, performance, beeldende kunst, theater, circus, eten, drinken, water, lucht, aarde, vuur en heel veel open ruimte.
Het festival wordt georganiseerd door de bewoners en gebruikers van het ADM terrein. Naast het werk van lokale en internationale kunstenaars is het festival ook een afspiegeling van alles wat het ADM te bieden heeft. Veel van de functionele onderdelen van het festival, zoals de bar en het podium worden speciaal voor het festival vormgegeven met het thema Ruimte.
Verder zijn in het programma o.a. opgenomen:
Guts Pie Earshot (DE), Bronstibock (NL), GRZZZ (FR), Anomalys (NL), La Fraction (FR), DJ Bone (NL), Rene Biname (B), Keko Yoma (CHILI), Het Meubilair (NL), Skate Naked (UK). "

here are some resin charms/pendants/ keychains I made. I'm brand new to casting resin, so they aren't perfect!
I had been toying with the idea that the trike body could be used to make a decent AT-RT but never got off my butt to try it. Then I saw Rocko's awesome Sninja, I was inspired. Space Police is probably more interesting than an AT-RT anyway.

A recent Hubble Space Telescope view reveals Uranus surrounded by its
four major rings and by 10 of its 17 known satellites. This false-color
image was generated by Erich Karkoschka using data taken on August 8,
1998, with Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer.
Hubble recently found about 20 clouds - nearly as many clouds on Uranus
as the previous total in the history of modern observations. The
orange-colored clouds near the prominent bright band circle the planet
at more than 300 mph (500 km/h), according to team member Heidi Hammel
(MIT). One of the clouds on the right-hand side is brighter than any
other cloud ever seen on Uranus.
The colors in the image indicate altitude. Team member Mark Marley (New
Mexico State University) reports that green and blue regions show where
the atmosphere is clear and sunlight can penetrate deep into Uranus.
In yellow and grey regions the sunlight reflects from a higher haze or
cloud layer. Orange and red colors indicate very high clouds, such as
cirrus clouds on Earth.
The Hubble image is one of the first images revealing the precession of
the brightest ring with respect to a previous image [LINK to PRC97-36a].
Precession makes the fainter part of the ring (currently on the upper
right-hand side) slide around Uranus once every nine months. The
fading is caused by ring particles crowding and hiding each other on
one side of their eight-hour orbit around Uranus.
The blue, green and red components of this false-color image correspond
to exposures taken at near-infrared wavelengths of 0.9, 1.1, and 1.7
micrometers. Thus, regions on Uranus appearing blue, for example,
reflect more sunlight at 0.9 micrometer than at the longer wavelengths.
Apparent colors on Uranus are caused by absorption of methane gas in
its atmosphere, an effect comparable to absorption in our atmosphere
which can make distant clouds appear red.

Lets see if you enjoy this one better Mike...
A rare to find Space Runner.
1995 plates from Santander (Cantabria), seen there as well.
This is a model I made a while ago. It is a Solitude class space carrier, with a BFG mounted next to the bridge. First model I've mad incorporating SNOT techniques.

Commercial and heavy goods vehicles can often be seen in Japan embellished with polished chrome, blacked out side windows, and crazy lighting. I’ve seen Shinto gods and lighting bolts fastened to the gleaming metal panels of some of them. The idea seems to be to make these ten ton hell raisers as garish and scary as possible, but ultimately it just makes them look silly. However, this vehicle struck me as a one off. It’s a Wa-fi van, taking the concept of Japanese spirit into outer space. I believe the official name for this phenomenon is Dekko Toraku or Deco Truck in English. The fact that there is a name for it implies that there may be a deeper (though probably not much deeper) meaning to this nerdy hobby than just showing off. Notice the warp drive jet engines on the roof, and Tenyo mythical goddess skillfully airbrushed to the side. Truck drivers of the universe unite!

I'm finding that photography is helping me deal with my dad's death. And something my neighbor said also helped "You can't lose something when you know where it is". My dad might not be here for christmas but he's in my heart.
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.
Apollo 49th Gala under the Saturn V Rocket at the Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral, commemorating the 49th anniversary of the first manned moon landing, in July of 1969. WIll be attending this year's 50th celebration as well.
Many Apollo, Shuttle (STS), other astronauts in attendance, along with team members from Virgin, Blue Origin, SpaceX.
At VIP table with Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham, directly beneath the Saturn V. Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission to carry humans to space, the first to follow the Apollo 1 tragedy (launch pad fire) that killed Grissom, White and Chaffee, and the first to test redesigned capsule. Took no small amount of courage. Walt is a great guy and hero.
