Space Shuttle flyover, Sept. 21, 2012.

I finally got Sea Monkeys for my NASA themed tank. Last night I added the water purifier, tonight I add the Sea Monkeys. So exciting!!!

When a spacecraft re-enters the Earth's atmosphere from space, friction is generated between the surface of the craft and the atmosphere's air molecules. This results in heat. To protect the Space Shuttle, approximately 33,000 white and black tiles, made of silica fiber compound, cover its undersurface, the leading edge of the vertical tail, and the area around the crew windows. These protective tiles allow the Space Shuttle to be flown again and again.

The arc of windows at the roof of the hangar gives the impression of watching the sun rise over the curvature of the Earth. Clever positioning.

The Enterprise in her new home aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. The exhibit opens July 19.

I heard the sonic boom and rushed outside to take this shot of the contrail the space shuttle Atlantis left in its wake on the way to Edwards Air Force Base. (See also here for magnified view.)

Space Shuttle Enterprise, on its way to the Paris Air Show. 19-20 MAY 1983.

After a late night staying up watching NASA TV, we headed down to Canova Beach just before the 2:28 AM launch.

Unfortunately, due to a low overcast, the STS-123 launch was only visible for a scant few (but spectacular) seconds.

Still, an amazing experience.

Skylynx also called Magnificence is a unbelievably talented, unsurpassably skilled autobot,

transforming from spaceshuttle to a dragon/dinosaur and the cargobay carried into a lynx cat

powered up with legoboost the beast walks in both dinosaur and lynx mode.

Legotransformers became a real study over the years or more decades now and i am suprised these kind of designs are possible these days after dreaming of models like this as a kid.

Big hug to Kevin, Skywalter for the dark azure part supplies ;)

We drove right by one of the space shuttle crawler transports. They're huge!
