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.

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.

Hand held, and a terrible photo of a neat event - the space station and the Shuttle Atlantis passing over our roof top about 12 minutes ago - about 22:05 Atlantic Time, 01:05 UTC. What a sight! At their brightest, they were both as bright as Venus and both traveling in an eastward line. Amazing. It reminded me of my first viewing of Sputnik many moons ago.
The Dunwich Dynamo is a turn-up-and-go challenging free-entry overnight 120 mile bicycle ride on-tarmac from London Fields in Hackney to the lonely Suffolk beach at Dunwich. It’s not a race. It’s unsupported. There’s no van following. It’s a long way. We have to get from Leicester to London via train first...
One of a photo collection taken at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Ariznoa. They have an amazing collection, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a great day there with the whole family. The kids love it… and so do the grown-ups. I had not been since I was a child… anyway. I hope you enjoy the image.
The Space Babies are setting off on their first adventure! These giant flowers are a great source of energy, but must be approached with caution!
This build debuted at BrickCan 2024, where it won the Alien Architect Award!

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.

I was certainly struggling to find anything that would represent today's Challenge but whilst out for my walk I noticed this "space ship" flying through the sky!
It kind of looks like a space ship ... don't you agree? 😉
Our Daily Challenge ~ The Moon and Space Travel ...
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
not sure why he was just standing there, but I thought it would work for negative space so I snapped away. It is rare that he stands this still.

Maria van der Hoeven, former Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science talks at the "Space for Inspiration – International Space Station and beyond” event at the Science Museum, London, 14-15 September 2016. ESA, industry and experts from many disciplines look at how human spaceflight has changed our daily lives, and what the future holds.

"We were talking...
about the space between us all
and the people
who hide themselves behind a wall
of illusion
never glimpse the truth
when it's far too late...
when they pass away.....
We were talking about the love we all could share
when we find it...
to try our best to hold it there
(with our love)
With our love we could save the world,
If they only knew.......
Try to realise its all within yourself
no one else can make you change,
And to see you're really only very small
and life goes on within you
and without you.
We were talking
about the love thats gone so cold
And the people
who gain the world and lose their soul
they dont know
they cant see..
Are you one of them?...
When you've seen beyond yourself
then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see
we're all one and life goes on within you and without you."
