Space Shuttle Discovery. Taken during the Welcome Discovery events at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
So much fun doing this. It is the first space MOC in 25 years! Mostly built with Benny's spaceship and technic parts. Features a modular design with the following modules: spy drone, co-pilot and double cannon
The first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, is a full scale craft that was designed for atmospheric testing and never flew in space (Columbia was the first Space Shuttle craft to fly in space). The Shuttle is a component of the Space Transportation System, or STS, now seen as aging and limited.

One space lab, five spacecraft, 10 years of success. Nearly a decade ago, the Columbus laboratory set sail for humanity’s new world in space.
Shortly afterwards, the first Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) arrived at the International Space Station as the most reliable and complex spacecraft ever built in Europe.
The event was a unique opportunity to re-live some exciting milestones, connect live to the Station and look into space exploration plans.
The larger Columbus family of planners, builders, scientists, support teams and astronauts gathered in ESTEC, the Netherlands on February 7 2018 to celebrate the past, present and future of Europe’s major contributions to the Station.

The first Space Shuttle orbiter, Enterprise is a full-scale test vehicle used for flights in the atmosphere and tests on the ground. Officially designated Orbiter Vehicle 101 (OV-101), Enterprise is not equipped for spaceflight. It has no propulsion systems and only simulated thermal tiles.
In 1977 Enterprise completed approach and landing tests at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in California: It was flown atop a Boeing 747 carrier airplane and also released for piloted descents to check out its systems and performance. It later underwent launch vibration tests and fit checks at other NASA centers. Although Enterprise never flew in space, it introduced a new era in space transportation and was the flagship for a fleet of reusable shuttles. The Smithsonian acquired Enterprise in 1985.

The first Space Shuttle orbiter, "Enterprise," is a full-scale test vehicle used for flights in the atmosphere and tests on the ground; it is not equipped for spaceflight. Although the airframe and flight control elements are like those of the Shuttles flown in space, this vehicle has no propulsion system and only simulated thermal tiles because these features were not needed for atmospheric and ground tests. "Enterprise" was rolled out at Rockwell International's assembly facility in Palmdale, California, in 1976. In 1977, it entered service for a nine-month-long approach-and-landing test flight program. Thereafter it was used for vibration tests and fit checks at NASA centers, and it also appeared in the 1983 Paris Air Show and the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans. In 1985, NASA transferred "Enterprise" to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum.
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!
For those old enough to remember, I hink of the title proclaimed sonorously just like "Pigs in Space" from the Muppets. This was on a parade float at the Spalding Flower Festival 2009.

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.
