Stamps of various USSR space missions. These stamps are evidence of the intrigue space held for the Soviets.
The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is NASA's manned spacecraft center. It is the home of the Apollo program in addition to being a training facility. On display are Apollo artifacts as well as the Saturn V rocket.

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.
"Shared Space" is a tool that allows scenographers to create virtual sound spheres in any space in a museum. This new experience offers the public the possibility to merge more deeply with works of art. While wearing headphones, the visitor is at the center of every sound. Depending on their location in the museum, the visitor can focus on a specific sound, story, or sound texture. In this way, senses other than sight, may be aroused and stimulated.
I was organizing photos from our Florida trip over a year ago and found some groups of 3 exposures that I had shot at the Kennedy space center Apollo building. I just had to do an all out grunge HDR on this one.

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.
The effects of the moon Prometheus create intricate formations in Saturn's
thin F ring.
The gravity of potato-shaped Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles
across) periodically creates streamer-channels in the F ring. See PIA10461 and
PIA10593 to learn more. To watch a movie of this process, see PIA08397.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 9
degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the
Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 26, 2009. The view was
acquired at a distance of approximately 922,000 kilometers (573,000 miles)
from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 27 degrees.
Image scale is 5 kilometers (3 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.

boxes
little boxes make a place
for each of us that's in the race
gives a space that is all mine
which for me is just fine
to the boxes we do go
to the comfort that you know
but one day soon we'll find a way
outside the boxes
.... a new day .

Cold here today. I got the space heater going in the computer room with me while the rest of the house is cooold.
Lots of filling and sanding to get the doors to fit flush. This is the identical mold they used for the exact same kit Revell sold in the 1980s and they are not ashamed to sell it for 30 years without fixing the horrendous gaps and malformed parts! One huge issue is the transparent cockpit window piece. Off by up to 5mm on one side and half the roof is missing, lots of filler!
This image of the lit face of Saturn's outer, or A, ring was taken by the
Cassini spacecraft shortly after crossing the ring plane after its orbit
insertion burn. The image was taken with the narrow angle camera on July
1, 2004. The rings in the middle of the image are approximately 134,000
kilometers (83,200 miles) from the center of Saturn.
The bright wave pattern near the center of the image is caused by the
overlap between spiral waves of varying particle density generated by
Saturn's moons Janus and Epimetheus, which share an orbit. These two moon
orbital periods are very close to each other and, at this location, affect
ring particle orbits.
Cleaner spiral patterns caused by single satellites can be seen in other
images; some of the weaker wave patterns in this image are also spiral
patterns generated by smaller moons outside the main rings. All these
spiral waves are of the same nature as the arms of spiral galaxies. The
finest features which can be discerned (inwards, or to the left, of the
bright wave feature in the center) are less than one mile across. Their
cause is not currently known.

Space between university buildings, these plants are green even in wintertime, they say it is due to the greenhouse effect of those glass walls.

If you sit back, and relax it feels reminiscent of old sci-fi films. battlestar gallactica maybe? i see an eclipsed planet on the far right, ships moving to formation and a jj abrams lens flare trying to sneak in on the left.
What do you see?

Title: Kemp 40
Teacher: Brandi Juarez
Theme: Conservation
Materials and techniques: Acrylic paint and oil pastels.
Did you enjoy this project? Yes, it was fun to draw and color the turtle.
About: Our choices were based on the Kemp Ridley Turtle that has been conserved for 40 years. Our idea was to show the turtle in its habitat, the sea, we chose to name it Kemp 40 for the years of conservation and for its name. We wanted to make it somewhat realistic.

At our last RichLUG meeting, we began throwing around ideas for uses for droid parts after Rich brought in an engine cowling made from their legs and Steve brought fighters made from the rest. I got the idea that two droid legs on a trans-something boat stud would made a good pulse-drive looking engine for a small craft. Thus, this.
I suppose this would be something like a bomber escort craft, heavily armed to take on a destroyer and nimble enough to chase off fighters. I'm really happy with the unconventional geometry of this one; I might play around a bit and make some variants later this week.
