This is a design for a board design contest. You could help it to made it to the top and be an actual board.
MP-09 Rodimus Prime in his alt mode. I've got more shots on my blog!
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.
Tyranid Brood Lord from the Space Hulk Box Set/Game. I added some diamond plate to the base to keep with metal hulk feel. Also added some sticky gore to his claws and the skulls.
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.

vnv nation- sentinel lyrics:
Can we say that we are free, our hands are bound and voices silent
I’m sure it's not a dream, I am awake, my eyes are open
I can’t accept and won’t concede in aftermath we find redemption
The causes that are siezed, and disguised as revolution
Quell the rage that deeply seethes the extremes of these devotions
Dismantle a machine, the device of their creation
I can’t accept and won’t concede that this is who we are
The conflict that is siezed and disguised as greater notions
To the songs that sing of glory and the brave
Are we dreaming there are better days to come?
When will the banners and the victory parades
celebrate the day a better world is won?
On the day the storm has just begun
I will still hope there are better days to come
In the face of what I say my words would turn to anger
Malevolence in need cannot provide direction
I won’t accept this thought that this is who we are
Positions never change, losing all forward motion
Hamper that which deeply seethes, temper your devotion
Dismantle a machine, the device of you conviction
I can’t accept and won’t concede that this is who we are
The conflict that is siezed and disguised as greater notions
To the songs that sing of glory and the brave
Are we dreaming there are better days to come?
When will the banners and the victory parades
celebrate the day a better world is won?
To the songs that sing of glory and the brave
Are we dreaming there are better days to come?
When will the banners and the victory parades
celebrate the day a better world is won?
On the day the storm has just begun
I will still hope there are better days to come
On the day the storm has just begun
I will still hope there are better days to come
Gray Mimas appears to hover above the colorful rings.
The large crater seen on the right side of the moon is named for William
Herschel, who discovered Mimas in 1789.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to
create this full color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini
spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 9, 2007 at a distance of
approximately 3.151 million kilometers (1.958 million miles) from Mimas
and at a Sun-Mimas-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 34 degrees. Image scale
is 19 kilometers (12 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour made a pit stop in Fort Worth, Texas and spent the night at the NAS Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base on its journey from California to Florida.

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.

Space Shuttle Enterprise (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) was the first orbiter of the Space Shuttle system. Rolled out on September 17, 1976, it was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform atmospheric test flights after being launched from a modified Boeing 747. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield. As a result, it was not capable of spaceflight.
Originally, Enterprise had been intended to be refitted for orbital flight to become the second space-rated orbiter in service. However, during the construction of Space Shuttle Columbia, details of the final design changed, making it simpler and less costly to build Challenger around a body frame that had been built as a test article. Similarly, Enterprise was considered for refit to replace Challenger after the latter was destroyed, but Endeavour was built from structural spares instead.
Enterprise was restored and placed on display in 2003 at the Smithsonian's new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. Following the retirement of the Space Shuttle fleet, Discovery replaced Enterprise at the Udvar-Hazy Center, and Enterprise was transferred to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City, where it has been on display since July 2012.

Space Shuttle Main Engine
A cluster of three of these high-performance main engines provides the primary thrust to place the Space Shuttle orbiter into Earth orbit. These liquid-fuel engines gurn for eight minutes and are reusable and throttle able. Two large, shorter-burning solid rocket boosters are also used during launch and are jettisoned after use. The main engines are serviced after each Shuttle flight and made ready for the next flight. On top of the engine’s nozzle is the powerhead, which contains computers to regulate and monitor all engine functions.
