Constructed around a massive particle cannon and also equipped with ion guns and anti-fighter turrets, these destroyers decisively end space fleet battles with overwhelming force.
The engine design here was actually originally intended for the Restoration Crusader I made a while ago. I really like the angular and aggressive engine design, but it wasn't really meshing with the more reserved angles of that model's body. I ended up coming up with a different engine design for that model but I kept these and finally made a new ship that I think works better with them.

Space Saw, Space Lathe, Space Chest and Space Drill (Inspired by Peter Reid's workshop build) ... Oh and Space radio
Finally got the damn balloon out of a tree thanks to my buddy Nate and my Dad's crack archery shooting! The pictures coming out look amazing!
Congrats to my 2016 senior class for successfully building and launching this project!
Space invader is back.
The pitch of the movie is the same as in round n°1 :
So I'm driving in the icelandic east fjords. Basically, I can't see a thing.
The cloud surrounding me is so thick the sunlight has become an abstract notion.
Until the next turn. From it and it seems magic, the sky is so clear that you should be able to see Pluto's tail.
Going along one of the fjords, I can now see the other side.
Except that I can't.
Another fluffly monstruosity is filling up the lower layers of the sky and most layers of emerged land.
That tells me that I should take my time going there, enjoy the sun for a bit, that if I couldn't see anything before, it must have come from quite some picturesque cloud if taken from the outside.
Endeavour flew over JSC on the back of its 747 carrier today. It's on its way back to Florida after the STS-126 landing in California!
Here's a small spaceship I built a few months ago but never got around to photographing until recently. I'm not completely happy with how the edit turned out, but it could be worse. :)
Well, I've had enough of doom-and-gloom for a bit. So I'm not gonna say anything about you-know-what today. Instead we go back to more ice abstracts, because I am really, really starting to love those. What we have here are methane bubbles, formed from decomposing organic material at the bottom of Abraham Lake in Alberta and then trapped in the thick ice as the bubbles rise. The lake is fed by glacial rivers and so in the deeper parts of the lake you get this rich blue-green color. On top of that the wind is blowing here pretty much constantly, keeping the ice surface clean. In this picture you can even see the snow streaking through the frame. The wind was so strong at this particular time that I could not use a tripod on the ice (it just got blown across the smooth ice surface, even with spikes on and weighed down by a bag!!). So I had to use the iPhone, which turns out to be surprisingly good at taking pictures of this particular phenomenon. I did not know if Id get the snow streaking visible in camera (the snow was whipping very fast) but it showed up brilliantly!
So, of course my strange brain has to go straight from this odd little visual phenomenon to the realms of science fiction. What the heck are "space time bubbles"? Well, there is a theory that says that the fabric of space-time is "bubbly" (I don't really know what that means, but it sounds cool). And we might even be able to use that property to generate bubbles that warp space around a special kind of drive and allow for faster-than-light travel. There have even been some experiments which seem to support the theory and open the possibility for a "warp" drive that creates a bubble in space time and allows the ship to travel faster than the speed of light. Sound familiar? Well, here's the reality of it:

While the article linked above is rather dense and above my intellectual ability, it does contain one of the single greatest phrases I've ever read in a scientific journal, "... a naked singularity at the front of the bubble". Which sounds like good times to me! But apparently this would be a bad thing. Sometimes I really think physicists are just pranking us, having figured out how to get paid handsomely to outdo each other with outrageous and often hilarious stories about the way the universe works. Any physicists out there? I'm on to you! But keep it up please, it's pure awesomeness.
The Villa Datris Foundation, a space for contemporary sculpture located in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in Provence (Vaucluse - south of France).
This year 2020 the theme is based on the recycling of objects and the diversion of objects for the creation of works of art.
I retained this image taken on the staircase of Villa Datris, when Céline arrives at an impromptu moment.
The contrast obtained gave an interesting result.
'Control, Space Station here. Science platform installed. From now on we can keep an eye on Space Weather...
And we found a place for the extra fuel tank...
Why do we need an extra fuel tank, Control? Are we starting an Intergalactic Gas Station?'

A bit of MOCing on the side...
Met de skyline van Houston op de achtergrond nadert een tramstel met rijtuig 301 op kop de halte Preston-Central Station aan de rand van het stadscentrum. Ondanks dat Houston met meer dan twee miljoen inwoners de grootste stad in Texas is, is het niet de hoofdstad van de staat. De stad heeft wel een prominente rol in het ruimtevaartprogramma van de NASA gespeeld, de bijnaam Space City is dan ook een officieel erkende "nick name".
Sinds het jaar 2004 rijdt er weer een tram in Houston. Het net is in de loop der jaren uitgebreid. Het afgebeelde materieeltype behoort tot de derde generatie trams in Houston. De wagens zijn door de Amerikaanse vestiging van de Spaaase rollend materieelfabrikant CAF gebouwd.

Commencing countdown, engines on.
Check ignition and may God's love be with you...
Part 1: In 2027, the Interplanetary Exploration Alliance began flying the space orbiter shuttle Indefatigable on routine missions to carry elements of the I.E.A. Vanguard to orbit for assembly in space.
I first saw the Space Needle at the Seattle World's Fair in 1962. I like the juxtaposition with the bright red "&" in the Olympic Sculpture Park, part of the Seattle Art Museum. As a free-admission outdoor sculpture park with both permanent and visiting installations, it is a unique institution in the United States; it opened in 2007. HDR interpretation.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
