Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment Assembly (TMG)
The TMG is part of the extravehicular spacesuit worn by astronauts during spacewalks. It protects the wearer against solar radiation, extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and other orbital debris. Small flecks of paint or millimeter-sized micrometeoroids traveling at thousands of miles per hour can depressurize a suit or vehicle, potentially killing an astronaut.

The vest component of the TMG fits over the Hard Upper Torso unit of the extravehicular spacesuit.

After many attempts I was incredibly excited to successfully dock the space shuttle with the International Space Station.
Maneuvering a craft in space is quite different than flying a plane since you have all three axis' to work with.
My score was 95%!
Flooding the night sky with its blazing light, Space Shuttle Discovery leaps toward the sky from Launch Pad 39B on mission STS-116 at 8:47:35 p.m. EST on Dec. 9, 2006. This is Discovery's 33rd mission and the first night launch since 2003.
The 20th shuttle mission to the International Space Station, STS-116 carries another truss segment, P5. It will serve as a spacer, mated to the P4 truss that was attached in September. After installing the P5, the crew will reconfigure and redistribute the power generated by two pairs of U.S. solar arrays.

Linda got me these cool new Nanoblocks from Japan recently. They are like miniature legos - I put the Lego minifig next to it for a scale comparison! This is the "Space Center" set.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Ribbons of steam and smoke trail space shuttle Atlantis as it nears touch down on the Shuttle Landing Facility's Runway 15 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the final time. Securing the space shuttle fleet's place in history, Atlantis marked the 26th nighttime landing of NASA's Space Shuttle Program and the 78th landing at Kennedy. Main gear touchdown was at 5:57:00 a.m. EDT, followed by nose gear touchdown at 5:57:20 a.m., and wheelstop at 5:57:54 a.m. On board are STS-135 Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandra Magnus and Rex Walheim. On the 37th shuttle mission to the International Space Station, STS-135 delivered more than 9,400 pounds of spare parts, equipment and supplies in the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module that will sustain station operations for the next year. STS-135 was the 33rd and final flight for Atlantis, which has spent 307 days in space, orbited Earth 4,848 times and traveled 125,935,769 miles.

Enterprise is one of six space shuttles that was built by NASA over the past 30 years. This shuttle was never launched into outer space because it was built without any engines.
