Space Hopper:
Well I think it looks like a space craft (landing module) but I know it’s a hopper so just go with it, lol.
Got a last minute call from my flickr buddy Tarboat with promises of a disused limestone quarry with full-on processing plant left in mothballs for a number of years, and well how could I say no! The site was vast and we had fun climbing up along over and down all the big boys’ toys.
Looked like it could all be brought back to life with a little service/maintenance (I hope so).
DOT partnered with the DOT Public Space Unit and the Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council (PHNDC) to present an asphalt mural on Vanderbilt Avenue between Dean Street and Bergen Street in Brooklyn as part of the Vanderbilt Avenue Open Boulevard. Titled, “Carpet Collage,” by Cara Lynch, the mural transformed the street into a welcoming living room-like space for pedestrians to gather and enjoy during the Vanderbilt Avenue Open Boulevard hours. As New York City reopened following City Hall protocols to protect New Yorkers against COVID-19, the Open Boulevards effort created extra space for dining with added landscaping and presented cultural activities, community-based programming, and temporary art installations to bolster the City’s recovery efforts. As part of Open Boulevards, DOT Art partnered with the DOT Public Space Unit to highlight and enhance these infrastructure changes as well as increase pedestrian and cyclist activity through installation of enlivening temporary artwork installations. Increasing the amount of pedestrian space was critical to the City’s recovery from COVID-19 as the public engaged in outdoor recreation, dining and other activities to avoid indoor interaction and maintain social distance.

Mission: SPACE, a motion simulator ride at Epcot theme park, is as close as you can get to blasting off into space without leaving Earth. This attraction for big kids, teens and adults realistically mimics what an astronaut might experience during a space flight to Mars.
Each member of your astronaut team has a challenging role in a dynamic and daring cosmic mission dodging meteors and navigating nebulae. Mission: SPACE is available in 2 versions—select the Orange Team for exhilarating and intense training or opt for the Green Team and have a less intense galactic adventure.
Pre-Show for Mission: SPACE
You are invited to train for the very first mission to Mars aboard the X-2 Deep Space Shuttle at the International Space Training Center (ISTC) on the 75th anniversary of man's first mission into space. Make your way to the Recruiting Center where you will choose a team—comprised of 4 members—for training.
Each team member will be given an on-board position with unique assignments to perform during the mission. The positions include Navigator, Pilot, Commander and Engineer. Before beginning the training exercise, trainees will watch an introductory video about the mission starring actor Gary Sinise.
The Journey to Mars
After the mission briefing, make your way inside the space capsule—sitting side by side with the other members of your team. Feel the rush of take-off as you embark on a thrill-packed training adventure through space to Mars.
During the simulation, rocket around the moon, experience a brief period of simulated hypersleep, and land on the reddened surface of Mars, before blasting back to Earth.
The outcome of your mission varies depending on how well you and your teammates perform your assignments.
Select the Orange Team or the Green Team
Mission: SPACE utilizes a multiple-arm centrifuge that spins and tilts to simulate the illusion of speed and gravitational forces. Realistic sounds from overhead and vivid video images only add to the experience of the simulation.
As an astronaut in training, you are given the choice to be a part of the Orange Team or the Green Team.
The Orange Team is a more intense training session and is the original version of the attraction, where you will experience forces up to 2.4G—more than twice the force of the Earth's gravitational pull.
The Green Team has a less intense experience. You do not feel forces up to 2.4G when choosing this option. If you are prone to motion sickness, you should opt for the Green Team.

Nice to have such an open and accessible work space. I'd like to report I get a lot of "work" done here. But, we all know that would be an exaggeration! LOL!!
Watching Space shuttle launches is not really my thing but when my friend Paul Aughey set the trip up, how could I pass on going to Florida. The day before the launch, they predicted a 30% chance of a successful launch because of a tropical weather system passing through the area. Paul found a viewing access about seven miles to the north in Mosquito Lagoon (appropriately named I might add). Hundreds if not thousands of fellow kayakers and canoers lined the channel under the watchful eye of the U.S. Coast Guard. I have to admit I got kinda teary-eyed when the thing took off. I think the coolest thing was about 90 seconds after it took off this incredible thunderous roar reached us. It sounded and vibrated like heavy thunder but it lasted for minutes. It was amazing. Too bad my longest lens was on a 300 mm.

Space shuttle Atlantis sits on display inside the new 100 million dollar exhibit hall at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The grand opening will be held on June 29, 2013.
The Space Shuttle Enterprise was the first Space Shuttle orbiter. It was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform test flights in the atmosphere. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of spaceflight.
The Enterprise is currently on display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum: Udvar-Hazy Center.
While riding Space Mountain, I kept hearing a computerized voice saying "Zone 13, rerouting. Zone 12, rerouting. Zone 11, etc..." Then we suddenly came to a stop at some trim breaks.
A few moments passed, the music stopped, then the lights came on. A few moments after that, a group of 5 team members came rushing up the steps and said "Hang on, you're about to do something most people don't get to do!" I assumed we were going to be walked off but they ended up pushing us down the track like it was a bobsled!
We were at nice gentle coast all the way to the loading area, where, they relocked our safety latches, and sent us off again.
A precursor to my Interstate 80 project, Space Available explores the various spaces left unutilized on the Midwestern roadside. Space Available is also the name of my daily photography blog:
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.
Sitting on top of the Orbiter Transport System (OTS), Atlantis awaits the 9.8 mile trip to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where she will go on permanent display. Tomorrow will mark the first time since 1979 an orbiter has not called KSC home.
Built in 1962, the Space Needle has since become the symbol of Seattle, and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.

The Space Shuttle Enterprise was the first Space Shuttle Orbiter. It was the test shuttle and never actualy made it into space.
It has been housed here at the Udvar Hazy Air & Space Museum since 2003 when this remote site of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum opened.
My son's daycare class was learning about space and the planets this week and since it is blazing hot here I thought it'd be a nice treat to go visit the museum. He LOVED IT!!!
I shot this with my 24-70mm and wanted to get it with my 14mm that I had in my bag, but a very "informative" tour guide brought a group of visitors up right where I was standing. I waited for him to finish, but his talking outlasted my sons patience. *SIGH*
Aftermath of a research space rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Downtown L.A. It's a bit blurry, because I don't have a Tripod. I used the Mustang's rear window as a tripod replacement. With little success ;)
