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

And for those currently serving......thank them for their service to this Great Country when you see them....
Memorial Day 2025
Today, in America, we honor the fallen. Those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our nation free and safe.
I'd like to thank my friend Spanky Stonebender for staying up late to help me put this shot together. Thanks babes!♥
This is a stacked image consisting of four long exposure images. It shows the initial launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 Globalstar 2-R mission and then the separation of the first stage as the vehicle continues into orbit to release its payload of 17 2nd generation satellites. You can then see the first stage initial landing burn and then the final landing burn at the horizon. The booster landed successfully back at the launch site at LZ 40. This was the 14th flight for this particular booster. The images were shot from the beach in Vero Beach which is about 70 miles (112 km) south of Cape Canaveral, Florida.

“And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier’s tomb, and beauty weeps the brave.” —Joseph Rodman Drake
"Dear Lord, Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country. We pray that you will bless them for their unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country's heritage, for all of us."

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.
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.
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.
In fields of honor, they lay,
For freedom’s light, they paid the way.
We remember their courage, their selfless fight,
In our hearts, they shine forever bright.

I also meditate on my neighbor Ronnie Goulet, KIA Vietnam
Service:
United States Army Special Ops Rank: MACV-SOG I believe hand picked by Joint Chief of Staff they were involved in conducting dangerous & secretive covert warfare, strategic recon in Laos, Cambodia, N.Vietnam. Records were sealed in secrecy for decades.
First Lieutenant (Infantry) was killed in action in Cambodia on September 26, 1969. Hatchet Force Unit
Soldier’s Medal Vietnam War
Action Date:September 23, 1968
Department of the Army, General Orders No. 7 (January 20, 1969)
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Soldier’s Medal to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Ronald M. Goulet (ASN: 0-5334389), United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy while participating in a night tactical parachute operation over Gatun Drop Zone, Panama Canal Zone on 23 September 1968.
During the conduct of the parachute jump, as the jumpers were exiting from the door of the C-47 aircraft, the anchor cable in the aircraft broke loose from its forward terminal, resulting in the failure of one jumper’s parachute to deploy. As this jumper left the aircraft, he became entangled in the broken cable and was suspended outside and beneath the aircraft.
Lieutenant Goulet displaying a complete disregard for his own safety, exposed more than half of his body outside the aircraft and, by holding onto the aft door frame with his legs, reached back and under the fuselage to grasp the static line of the unemployed parachute. By the exertion of almost superhuman strength, Lieutenant Goulet pulled the suspended trooper forward toward the door and finally was able to grasp the man’s extended hand.
With the assistance of the other men in the aircraft, the towed jumper was gradually hauled back into the aircraft to safety. In his precarious position, Lieutenant Goulet was pulling against the dead weight of a man buffeted by a 125-knot wind, simultaneously being exposed himself to the turbulence of propeller blast and aircraft instability.
Should he have fallen out of the aircraft, he faced serious injury or death. Lieutenant Goulet’s actions in preventing fatal injury to the towed jumper and in eliminating a situation extremely hazardous to the aircraft were in the highest tradition of unselfish courage and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.

"It was there that a menagerie once stretched out;
it is there that I saw, one day, under a diaphanous
and icy sky, at the hour when Work is awakening
and cleanliness raises a dark hurricane in the air,
a swan that, having escaped from its aviary,
scraping its webbed feet on the pavement,
dragged white feathers across the rough earth.
The beast, its beak open, in a dried-up stream,
wet its wings nervously in the dust,
saying in its heart, filled with the beautiful native lake:
"Water, when will you fall? When will you thunder, lightning?"
Charles Baudelaire - The swan
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!

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.

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!

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.
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.

Before we get too far from Memorial Day, a shot from the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery's 2023 Memorial Day ceremony. I regret not posting one of these last weekend.
My sincerest gratitude goes to those who stepped forward to serve their country and gave their lives to do so. You are not forgotten.
NO GRAPHICS, BADGES, OR AWARDS IN COMMENTS. They will be deleted.
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.

Lockheed Martin-Built GOES-U Weather Satellite Successfully ...NOAA's GOES-U satellite successfully launched on June 25, 2024, at 5:26 p.m. EDT aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center, Florida. As the final satellite in the GOES-R series, it reached geostationary orbit on July 7, 2024, and was renamed GOES-19.

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.
