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.
Inside Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) High Bay 4, Space Shuttle Atlantis sits in storage after being moved from Orbiter Processing Facility #1 on June 29, 2012. Atlantis will stay inside the VAB until mid-August when Endeavour leave OPF-2 so crews can finish preperations for Atlantis display.
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.

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.
This is a still frame from the music video SPACER WOMAN by Jewelz & Charlie. You can see the video on Vimeo in full length here: http://vimeo.com/5198175. Enjoy!
My first attempt at photographing a pass of the International Space Station (Best viewed full size).
This is the jpeg right off the camera, just with levels tweaked and then resized. I shot RAW at the same time and will probably look at getting something out of that.
A number of things didn't go quite according to plan. For one thing I left the exposure time as 30 seconds rather than putting it in bulb mode, hence the fact that the ISS gets cut off. The focus also isn't quite spot on.
This overhead image of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, recorded by a crewmember onboard the International Space Station, gives an excellent view of the hardware stowed in the cargo bay which will later be used to resume the construction of the orbital outpost.
No photoshop! Flashes + Colour Lee Gel Filters + custom white balance + raw.

While I've seen mosaics put up by the street artist Invader in cities all over the world, this is the first time I've seen it done with post-it notes.
Space Shuttle Challenger comes in for landing at Edwards Air Force base, CA on April 9, 1983. Scanned from a slide, hence the poor quality.

The Ars Electronica Futurelab's exhibition "Alchemists of the Future" provides an interactive space in the Ars Electronica Center where museum visitors can meet and interact with online visitors. Online visitors can interact in real time in the physical space in the museum by using a drawing board on the FL25 website, or by taking control of a telepresence robot from home. The robot “embodies” them, giving them a presence at the museum in Linz.
