This is the REAL thing, the duplicate that remained on the ground to duplicate and correct problems in space. Now seen in Wisconsin Dells!
I really like this shot, not sure why but I think it looks like something off Dead Space or Apollo 18, Alien has that sort of Sci-Fi Horror feel to it.
The Space Needle reflected on the Experience Music Project Building. I thought this would be a different way of seeing the Space Needle. I think I'm right.
In SPACE at Eldon Building, University of Portsmouth.
The SPACE gallery was host to the international artist Pete Codling who creatied a giant charcoal drawing directly on the gallery wall. The building, currently being demolished in the next 2 weeks along with this final artwork, was actually Codling’s old studio space when he was a student at Portsmouth College of Art in the late 1980s.
This ‘charcoal epitaph’ is a personal way for the artist to say good bye to the building but also to celebrate the creativity of many artists, designers and musicians who have used this space over the last fifty years.

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.
Space Invaders has also inspired a form of street art to a French artist known only by the pseudonym "Invader". Using ceramic tiles, Invader cements together mosaic images inspired of traditional Space Invaders aliens, bonus spaceships, and variations on those themes, sometimes including characters from the Pac-Man series, Super Mario series, and other video games. Most of the mosaics tiles are small and others are as large as murals. The mosaics are cemented onto building walls, lamp post bases, and other structures. The form has spread throughout the world since the 1990s, among more than 30 cities over 5 continents, Invader is still in activity. Some of the thousands of individual Invaders have been documented with photographs on Invader's website. ( www.space-invaders.com/sominv.html )
