A view from 50 miles south of Cape Canaveral of the Vulcan rocket launch for the Space Force with secret loads for military use.
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

A United Launch Alliance Delta 4-Heavy rocket will launch a classified spy satellite cargo for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office. The largest of the Delta 4 family, the Heavy version features three Common Booster Cores mounted together to form a triple-body rocket. This is the final flight of a Delta 4 rocket.
SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket last night at 7:51 PM. It carried the first of a new generation of GPS satellites into orbit.
The United Launch Alliance NROL-44 DeltaIVHeavy rocket (& many, many stars) trace their paths across the sky in this 40-minute composite of 72 frames, captured Thursday evening from Palm Shores, Florida.
Details:
71 frames at ISO400, f6.3 and 30-secs (stars) and 1 frame at ISO320, f16 and 200-secs (rocket), combined in PhotoShop. Two helicopters from the 920th Rescue Wing, and two airplanes flew overhead, and three people walked by during the sequence, and they were all removed in post-processing. Final edits in Lightroom.
I shot this in New York City, and asked a local what it was, and that is what he said, "Looks like Trumps Space Force Raygun".

With Vandenberg AFB in the background, look out here they come....
Been trying to remember a bumper sticker I had back in the 70's -- something about " The Universe is big, Space People are Friendly" --- well looks like we'll shoot first....
(note I'm not really sure if this counts as Two Strikes against me for NO PHOTOGRAPHY--- see next image)
The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.
Both in war and peace, to those who came home changed, and to those who didn't return, we honor you.
Thank you veterans!

After two last second scrubs a few months ago, ULA's Delta IV Heavy finally launches into the stars carrying the secretive NROL-44 payload a couple of nights ago above OUC's Indian River power plant. I admit that I was almost emotional, considering that I had spent so much trying and failing to see this one launch. Additionally, that this is my favorite rocket and Delta IV Heavy will be retired in a few years so this is one of my last chances at capturing one, Despite this, it was but also a rather nerve-wracking one, as I had to stand on some active railroad tracks and it was unforgivingly cold for Central Florida. Nonetheless, I’m pretty proud of this considering that I have had limited success with night launches, but many times of trial and error finally paid off!
Liftoff!
That's the SpaceX Falcon9 rocket carrying the GPSIII-SV04 satellite to orbit, with a special guest appearance by Mars (to the right of the streak).
The successful launch took place at 6:24 pm (ET) on November 5, 2020, from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Congratulations to Elon Musk and the entire SpaceX team!
NASA Releases Photograph of SpaceForce Mesh
Aug. 13, 2018 - NASA has released a photo of its exciting SpaceForce Mesh to help clean up the increasing amount of cosmic dust and debris plaguing the solar system in earth’s immediate vicinity. As part of its “Concepts for a Vibrant Future Commercial Space Economy”, NASA has teamed up with a Dutch innovator to establish a SpaceForce Mesh clean space company that will actively sweep space to rid it of dust and debris.
W.T.F. Witloos, a Dutch innovator and owner of NederlandSchoon N.V. in Achlum, is the developer of an ultralight-weight metalloid mesh similar to a washing machine lint trap. Giant-sized SpaceForce Mesh will be transported into space by commercial rockets and unfolded. Guided by spacetugs SpaceForce Mesh will be dragged across vast swaths of space trapping all dust and debris in its mesh.
The concept was fostered by NASA’s monetary awards in its efforts to encourage a broad spectrum of commercial activities in orbit where, in the future, NASA will be one of many customers. Application of the concepts and ideas offered through this opportunity will ensure the continuity of human spaceflight and facilitate a vibrant and competitive industrial base for continued U.S. leadership in space.
The contracts and amounts are dependent on negotiations with NederlandsSchoon N.V., but NASA estimates the value of the award will be approximately $1 billion.

Merged image of two long exposures of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch on July 27th, 2023. If you look closely you can see where the two boosters separated from the core vehicle as it continued on its flight path. You also see two streaks of light where the boosters fired their engines to slow their descent and a streak of light near the horizon as the engines fired again as they both landed safely back at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The image was taken from Vero Beach which is 63 miles (101 kilometers) south of the launch site. This was the third flight for both boosters.
Scripted miniship. Zip around the sky, explode your friends!

Originally built for the US Army in 1951 for service in the Korean War, this SW8 was eventually given to the Air Force for service in the Titan IV program. Using a set of parallel tracks, a pair of SW8's would pull Titan rockets from their assembly building to the launch pad (performing the same function that the Space Shuttle's crawler later performed). In order to operate in tandem, these Air Force locomotives were equipped with MU cables that were connected via swing arms. This allowed the locomotives to synchronize while operating side-by-side.
After the last Titan IV launch in 2005, USAF 2021 was cosmetically restored by NASA Railroad employees and then moved in 2006 to where it is currently displayed at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum.

The United Launch Alliance DeltaIVHeavy rocket carrying the NROL-44 satellite put on quite the show tonight.
This was the scene from Palm Shores, 20-miles or so south of LC-37 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Congrats to the ULA team, this was a great (if maybe a little chilly) launch.

On November 10, 2025, MTA Metro-North Railroad unveiled recently overhauled MNCW P32AC-DM 216 in a new veterans wrap at its North White Plains Yard. The design of the wrap includes embroidered name tapes with the names of all six branches of the United States Military on the background of a mural of military vehicles. Towards the front of the locomotive, it transitions to the stars and stripes of the flag of the United States. The locomotive is the eighth in the "Metro-North Heritage Fleet" series, honoring the 40th Anniversary of MNR's creation in 1983. The locomotive will be on display for the public on November 11 & 12, 2025, in Grand Central Terminal on Track 27, and is planned to be on display at various employee facilities before entering revenue service next week.

Skipper's third firing, marking the end of the Pass in Review.
August 18, 2022
"Each year, dating back to 1918, Virginia Tech (then VPI) would meet rival Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in a football game played Thanksgiving Day. VMI had a cannon named “Little John,” which it would fire every time the Keydets scored, while their cadets chanted: “Where’s your cannon?”
In the early 1960s, Homer “Sonny” Hickam ’64, Alton “Butch” Harper ’64, and George Fox ’64 tired of the smack talk and decided to fire back. Armed with a plan to “build the biggest cannon the world had ever seen,” the trio collected extra brass from cadets’ uniform items as well as shell casings from the firing range, which they would melt for the gun. Foundry owner Paul Huffman, an alumnus of the Corps of Cadets, cast the cannon at no charge.
When the cadets learned of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, this gave birth to the name Skipper, which had two meanings: first to honor JFK, as he had been a skipper in the U.S. Navy, and also as an inside joke for the cadets (Skipper was a nickname for senior cadet privates who had gotten in trouble.) At the 1963 VMI vs. Virginia Tech game, 50 cadets hauled Skipper from underneath the bleachers and fired the gun.
The cannon suffered a blowout in 1982, so in 1984, Paul Huffman Jr. ’78, whose father had cast the original Skipper, offered to fabricate a new cannon at no charge. Skipper II is based on a Confederate Civil War cannon. Its design compares to a 3-inch ordnance cannon, which is 70 inches long and weighs about 800 pounds."

"The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets (VTCC) is the military component of the student body at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Cadets live together in residence halls, attend morning formation, wear a distinctive uniform, and receive an intensive military and leadership educational experience similar to those at the United States service academies. The Corps of Cadets has existed from the founding of the university as the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1872 to the present-day institution of Virginia Tech, which is designated a senior military college by federal law. As of August 2024, about 1,300 cadets are currently enrolled in the program." (Wikipedia)

Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May. Thanks to President Harry S. Truman, it’s a day to pay special tribute to the men and women of the Armed Forces. President Truman led the effort to establish a holiday in order for citizens to unite and to honor our military heroes for their patriotic service in support of the United States of America. Armed Forces Day is a joint celebration of all six branches of the U.S. military: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, and the newly created Space Force. The day honors all people currently serving in the U.S. armed forces including the National Guard and Reserves.
THANK YOU! You all are the true heroes of America!!

Since we are a rich nation, more rich than the USA, we need a bigger force than just the Airforce, thats why we go for the Spaceforce .... hehehehehehe......
Virginia Tech's Upper Quad is historically the home of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets. Under the guidance of its previous Commandant, Major General Randal Fullhart (USAF retired,) enrollment in the Corps of Cadets increased dramatically, and the brick Cold War-era buildings that were not on the historic register were torn down and replaced with taller, larger dormitories with Hokie Stone façades more closely resembling some of Virginia Tech's other architecture. His crowning construction achievement is the new Corps Leadership and Military Science Building, now located between Major Williams and Shanks Halls, and the Virginia Tech Power Plant, visible in the background of the photo.

"Lane Hall, originally known as Barracks No. 1, contains offices for disciplines in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. It is the centerpiece building of the Upper Quad.
For the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, it's still considered home. Today's cadets continue a 120-year-old tradition by standing retreat in front of the hall each evening. One of the oldest buildings on campus, Lane still bears hundreds of signatures scratched into its bricks and mortar by cadets. Some of those etchings date back more than 100 years.
In the 1950s, Barracks No. 1 was renamed for Gen. James H. Lane, first commandant of cadets and professor of military tactics from 1872 to 1881. The Civil War veteran was a stern disciplinarian who expected students to toe the mark, both in the classroom and in the ranks. His fistfight with the college president led to an erosion of public confidence in the school and one of the blackest periods in the life of the college.
Originally known as Barracks No. 1, Lane Hall was completed in 1888 and revolutionized campus amenities with bathrooms containing hot and cold running water. The hazing of rats (first-year cadets) seems to have blossomed in Barracks No. 1 since the building layout created an environment for upperclassmen to develop “extracurricular controls” over the rats. The barracks housed 130 students until it was converted to academic office use in 1967, ending 78 years of use as barracks. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015."

Titan Pipeline Defence
I joined the Octan Security Services straight out of the Spaceforce. After a four year tour on Earth's moon trying to keep the locals under control while resentment of Earth-gov control became endemic. The final uprising, caused by a Spaceforce ship crashing into a school bus was nasty and I saw things. Things no one should see, things I won't talk about.
So here I am on Titan, sixth moon of Saturn, where the rocks are made of water, hard as granite and the rivers and lakes are liquid hydrocarbons, methane and ethane, all the 'thanes' as Gunther puts it. Gunther is my boss here, he basically sits in the control room and tells us where the Meth-Roaches are swarming, he's okay, pretty messed up from stuff he saw on the moon too though.
Meth-Roaches? Yeah, well when humans got here to Titan there was no life, not even bacteria. Great for the oil companies of course, nothing for the hippies to protest about. The Mars settlers wanted to burn hydrocarbons to create an atmosphere, the oil companies had a nice new supply of them. All great, but 'life finds a way' as that old movie put it. The bacteria mutated first, but we weren't watching for that then the roaches first learned to cope with the intense cold, then somehow their mitochondrial DNA started to run on methane instead of oxygen. The scientists tell me it was probably from eating the bacteria. Then they took the moon for themselves, titanic Roaches on Titan. Almost funny.
Most of them eat the bacteria or each other, the problem is the pipelines are slightly warmer, so the bacteria grow more around them, the Methane Roaches (Meth-Roaches) chomp on it, lots of leaks follow.
So I'm a bug squisher! We can shoot them if there's good cause, but firing lasers has a small chance of igniting the landscape (if we hit a pocket of frozen oxygen) and the gattling-railgun is hard to get ammunition for, so we generally stamp on them, they crunch quite satisfyingly. The pays pretty good, too and there are no Lunar-citizens throwing IED's at me. In another five years when my contract is done I should be able to buy a house in an area of Earth where the environment is still reasonable or maybe Mars, lots of room on Mars. Life is good.
