I just find this iconic building so interesting! It's a weird 60s hangover and I love it.
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.

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.
Saturn's moon Prometheus casts a long shadow across the A ring in the middle-right side of this Cassini spacecraft image taken shortly before the planet's August 2009 equinox.Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles across) orbits in the Roche Division between the thin F ring and the A ring. The novel illumination geometry created around the time of Saturn's August 2009 equinox allows out-of-plane structures and moons orbiting in or near the plane of Saturn's equatorial rings to cast shadows onto the rings. These scenes are possible only during the few months before and after Saturn's equinox, which occurs only once in about 15 Earth years. To learn more about this special time and to see movies of moons' shadows moving across the rings, see PIA11651 and PIA11660.This view looks toward the northern, unilluminated side of the rings from about 31 degrees above the ringplane. Many stars are visible. The rings and stars have been brightened by a factor six relative to Prometheus to enhance visibility.The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 29, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.4 million kilometers (870,000 miles) from Prometheus and at a sun-Prometheus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 93 degrees. Image scale is 9 kilometers (6 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.For more information about the Cassini-Huygens mission visit saturn.jpl.nasa.gov.

Astronaut Stephanie Wilson will be making her second spaceflight for STS‐120 as mission spe‐cialist 2. Selected as an astronaut in 1996, she logged more than 306 hours in space during the STS‐121 mission in 2006. Wilson will be on the flight deck during launch and landing, serving as the flight engineer to assist Melroy and Zamka. She will be heavily involved in operating both the shuttle and station robotic arms for the shuttle thermal protection system inspections, spacewalk activities, Node 2 installation and the P6 truss element and solar array reloca‐tion.
Once I had a baby Exo Suit I needed a baby turtle to go with it. Added a Teenage Stellar Robot Turtle for good measure! The daddy turtle is Peter Reid's from set 21109.

Gosh, I love Space Mountain. One of my favorite rides at Disneyland.
I have this book called "Little-Known Facts about Well-Known Places: Disneyland" that I just love to read, so I'll be posting some relevant facts along with each photo!
Fun Fact
Walt had the idea for Space Mountain in the 1960s but the technology was not available for its creation until a decade later.

This is my space marine chaplain that I've painted of late. He's looking alright I suppose. The grey lines for his armor are a little too thick. I keep thinking I might be improving that, but once again, I just drop the ball. I'm especially happy with how his scepter turned out and some of the chains really. The scepter has a red coat for the most part, washed with Babak Black in order to fill in the cracks. It worked alright I think.
It's a metal figurine though, and I hate them with a passion.
