I was lucky enough to be in LA last Friday when the Space Shuttle Endeavour was moving from LAX to the LA Museum. It was amazing to see the shuttle that close. My only regret was not having my 40D with me.

The International Space Station flies past the American Flag in the cold evening twilight of mid November.
How I got the shot:
This one was luck, as I almost ran out of time - again. I knew what time ISS was coming over, and was planning my shot-making. However, I didn't watch the clock. I got the camera on the tripod and took a test shot of Jupiter to confirm focus, and then I heard my Dad say "there it is." I turned the tripod around and - not having time to frame the image properly - guess at the location. I got the flag in the viewfinder, and just hit the shutter button. And this is the result.
It's not perfect, but it will do. Now, if I had the time, it would be better. Like this one, and this one. Also this one, and this one.

The Arado Ar 234 B Blitz (Lightning) was the world's first operational jet bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. The first Ar 234 combat mission, a reconnaissance flight over the Allied beachhead in Normandy, took place August 2, 1944. With maximum speed of 735 kilometers (459 miles) per hour, the Blitz easily eluded Allied piston-engine fighters. While less famous than the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighters, the Ar 234s that reached Luftwaffe units provided excellent service, especially as reconnaissance aircraft.
This Ar 234 B-2 served with bomber unit KG 76 from December 1944 until May 1945, when British forces captured it in Norway. Tumed over to the United States, it was brought to Wright Field, Ohio, in 1946 for flight testing. In 1949 it was transferred to the Smithsonian, which restored it in 1984-89. This Arado is the sole survivor of its type.

SPACES OF SILENCE
Visualizing Pruitt-Igoe Now
An amalgam of racial discrimination and heralding the ‘death’ of modernism, the Pruitt Igoe site is hallowed ground of sorts.
Thus it was not possible for this architect to conceive of a project that would be a complete break from the past. Rather a memorial to ending, with two buildings that speak of a possible future. That is why the project ‘SPACES OF SILENCE’ is designed around installations to modernity, a memorial and two buildings. The two buildings that flank this memorial are a vision to a sustainable future, and one to a past that is hopefully behind us.
‘Center for Sustainability Research’
‘Museum of Memory’.
The whole composition is set in a landscaped park that recalls, through the design of its pathways and the way green intermingles with void, the historicity of the site and of St. Louis. Harking back to the city’s French roots, the composition is a Baroque one, with the main axis through the site connecting the ground to the St. Louis Arch. Imprinted on the ground are monuments to modernity, with the footprints of the old Pruitt Igoe housing traced out in pathways, water pools, or planting.
The way this architect is connected to the Pruitt Igoe project is twofold. Firstly, as an enthusiast and committed member of the modern movement, and an historian who has followed the development of Modernism in the last decade. The second is as a scholar, whose doctorate in architecture at the University of Paris, Seine St. Denis was a sustained research into the location and temporal inexactitudes of the discourse of Modernism.
Through the dual axis, ‘Spaces of Silence’ is conceived as a homage to Modernism, as a place of solitude and silence, and as an effort in sustainable design and building.

The Satish Dhawan Space Centre is the launch centre for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is located in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, 80 km (50 mi) north of Chennai. Originally called Sriharikota High Altitude Range (SHAR, an acronym ISRO have retained to the present day) and then Sriharikota Launching Range, the center was renamed in 2002 after the death of ISRO's former chairman Satish Dhawan.
SDSC's current director is M.Y.S. Prasad. He took over from M.C. Dathan on 1 January 2013 after the latter was appointed as Director of LPSC.
Growing up as a child I grew an admiration for what our Space program was about and most of all; fell in love with the "Space Shuttle". I have been to my share of launches form Titusville and even some from the NASA Causeway but I can't say enough about what you are looking at....A piece of the greatest Space odyssey so far in history. Seeing this up close was somewhat overwhelming for me but truly touching. You will be missed Atlantis!!!!!
