Editor's note: happy Friday, Flickr friends! While we can't all get this kind of sky view, hope you get to enjoy the waning gibbous moon in the skies over Earth this weekend.
This image taken by an astronaut aboard Space Shuttle mission STS-103 shows a panoramic view of Earth at moonrise.

The NASA family lost seven of its own on the morning of Jan. 28, 1986, when a booster engine failed, causing the Shuttle Challenger to break apart just 73 seconds after launch.
In this photo from Jan. 9, 1986, the Challenger crew takes a break during countdown training at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Left to right are Teacher-in-Space payload specialist Sharon Christa McAuliffe; payload specialist Gregory Jarvis; and astronauts Judith A. Resnik, mission specialist; Francis R. (Dick) Scobee, mission commander; Ronald E. McNair, mission specialist; Mike J. Smith, pilot; and Ellison S. Onizuka, mission specialist.

The main landing gear of the Space Shuttle Atlantis touches down on the Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Shuttle Landing Facility to complete the STS-86 mission. Touchdown occurred at 5:55:09 p.m. (EDT), October 6, 1997. Onboard were astronauts James D. Wetherbee, Michael J. Bloomfield, Wendy B. Lawrence, Scott F. Parazynski, Vladimir G. Titov, C. Michael Foale and Jean-Loup J. M. Chretien. Chretien and Titov represent the French Space Agency (CNES) and the Russian Space Agency (RSA), respectively.

The space shuttle Discovery is seen from the International Space Station as the two orbital spacecraft separate on March 7, 2011 after an aggregate of 12 astronauts and cosmonauts worked together for over a week. The area below is the southwestern coast of Morocco in the northern Atlantic. During a post undocking fly-around, the crew members aboard the two spacecraft collected a series of photos of each other's vehicle.

Space shuttle Discovery, July 4th 2006.
This was my 1st launch ever, it brought tears to my eyes as it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen :)

Another baby build that got knocked out of my Ideas project due to an IP clash. The back actually opens - check it out on Blockheads.

This unprecedented view of the space shuttle Atlantis, appearing like a bean sprout against clouds and city lights, on its way home, was photographed by the Expedition 28 crew of the International Space Station. Airglow over Earth can be seen in the background.

“SPACE SHUTTLE--Cut-away drawing of the orbiter version of the Space Shuttle. Fore-to-aft are the cockpit area, the payload bay, and the section showing plumbing and associated hardware of the engines. The Space Shuttle is a new version of NASA exploration, one that significantly reduces costs of operations.”
Note the wingtip-mounted reaction control system thrusters, one of the Air-Breathing Propulsion System (ABPS) engines (possibly depicted in its deployed configuration), what I think is an Abort Solid Rocket Motor (ASRM) (its partial outline just visible along the other side of the aft fuselage), and the ring-shaped, nose-mounted docking unit forward of the crew module. I think it also has the twin/dual center-line/spine mounted Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arms.
The image of the orbiter was cut out & applied/affixed to this background color. In fact, I’m pretty sure the following linked image bears the original color. Note that they didn’t bother to also cut out the opening/gap around the right landing gear.
It is indeed a pukey color, I can see why they ‘economically” switched it out. And, as you can see, it’s identical, but with vertical stabilizer-mounted reaction control system thrusters:

Possibly the next design iteration (second image down), from North American Rockwell (as I think my posted photo to be), four months later:

The similarity in depictions strongly suggests them to be by the same artist, which, at this time, may well have been Manuel E. Alvarez. Yeah…I’m going with that.
Still later. And I’m still going with Mr. Alvarez:

I have been building transformers lego models for two decades now, constantly growing my collection, there were always one thing left to do figure out.
How to build a combiner ?
We all know the limitations through weight on our models versus what we would want from certain bricks and their clutchpowers.
Bruticus and the combaticons were on my wishlist for a long time, so i have been working on those models over the past months, first working out each individual character and then the combine mode.
It needs still a support stand, which also serves as display stand, just to keep the weight up, he is very heavy, standing tall around 60cm.
Instructions available soon.
A LEGO Technic scale model of the spaceshuttle. It has 8 motorized functions and comes with instructions for both a PF and a PU version. More information can be found on jeroenottens.com
Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1989. I had an old Pentax K-1000 with a super cheap long 500mm lens for this shot. I would love to find the negative as this is a scan of a 5x7” print.
The primary payload, Galileo/Jupiter spacecraft and attached Inertial Upper Stage (IUS), was deployed six hours, 30 minutes into the flight. IUS stages fired, placing Galileo on trajectory for six-year trip to Jupiter via gravitational boosts from Venus and Earth and possible observational brushes with asteroids Gaspra and Ida. Secondary payloads included Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SSBUV) experiment carried in cargo bay, and in crew cabin, Growth Hormone Crystal Distribution (GHCD); Polymer Morphology (PM), Sensor Technology Experiment (STEX); Mesoscale Lightning Experiment (MLE); IMAX camera; Shuttle Student Involvement Program (SSIP) experiment that investigated ice crystal formation in zero gravity; and ground-based Air Force Maui Optical Site (AMOS) experiment.

This was its first pass, over Berkeley/Emeryville/Oakland, view from Grizzly Peak Blvd near Tilden Park.
taken at Kennedy Space Center......l think the astronauts were very brave people . but the risk of something going wrong would not be worth taking a chance for me to have a go......l feel so sorry for the families and friends of the astronauts that were killed
Our flight from Baltimore to Ft Meyers put us 70 miles west of the Kennedy
Space Center on November 16th, and at the exact time of the launch of the
STS-129 Space Shuttle.
Captain John Goslink called me to bring my camera to the cockpit and get photos of the event, my very first shuttle launch. What a thrill to be at 36,000 feet to see this spectacle! We saw the engines ignite, lighting up like a huge fireball, then watched as the shuttle soared through the cloud layers and speed into the blackness of space. It made its twisting turn right about our altitude...then disappeared into space.
