It is very easy to build a Space Station, isn't it?
Just the universe is a crystal ball🔮, standing on a blank CD📀, and the ISS is a light diffuser.
I guess, NASA should hire me️ as soon as possible😃.
Kelly can't believe she's there, billions of miles from home, at Outpost Alpha, having dinner with Benny by candlelight and with Robbie playing a serenade for her with a violin (that in space is definitely complicated). And a six-course dinner, furthermore... CHEF-A-TRON was at its best: he made Kuybos waffles, delicious, but a little heavy.
Love the glowing colors inside Space Mountain!

The Anomaly engulfs me
I take a deep, shuddering breath. My desperate push against the rising tide of panic. My lungs burn, my chest tightens, but my internal din intensifies. A surge of fire shoots through my veins, every muscle coiling, screaming to lash out, to push forward. Then, an undertow of ice. A violent recoil. The desperate, animal urge to shrink, to break away, to simply not be here. My gaze turns inward, exhausted by the relentless war of impulses. A terrible clarity dawns: the real danger isn't the storm outside. Every moment lost in this internal maelstrom is a moment lost to survival. My mind, caught between the lunge and the retreat, is tearing me apart.

...and I'll get you!
Yesterday I came across the latest photo of Kyle Hardisty and wanted to try the same. The build, apart from some details, is the same, lighting through the grates - it took me 70 attempts to get here, but I\'m still far from ingenious original.

Beautifull moonhalo with passage of the International Space Station ISS. (zoom in on the image - just below the moon) .
Prachtige maanhalo met daarbij een passage van ruimtestation ISS vlak onder de maan.

These photos will be explained in Part I of the very short fiction, "Like a Thief In the Night," at Around the Grid.
Curious about Metroplex 17? This photo isn't part of it, though the story is set in the Metroplex universe. Learn more at their blog, or teleport to their welcome center.
An amazing role-play SIM with something for everyone. Beloved long-lasting space in my heart for this place, this time this wonderful journey into space of the imagination....yes Savy a wonderful walk down memory lane!

100% Star Trek RP. The Full on Star Trek Experience. From Academy Cadet to Star Fleet Officer. It's all here. How far will you go?. Real ships, real space, and real people.
Triscalia I
The sun in the Agonian system has gone nova. Forcing the people on Argonia to find a new home.
They did just that. Now settling on the planet Tatu the former Argonians are now Tatuines. As they build and acclamate to a new surrounding, Star Fleet business revs up again. The Academy on Tatu has opened and the space station is fully functional. New adventures await this recoursful lott.
But what awaits them is the question.
In 1992, a commando unit during the Blacktron Wars was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Lustarvis nebula. Today, still wanted by the Space Federation, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the B-Team!
Sorry guys for keeping you on pins and needles! ;-)
“This is one version of how the Air Force’s proposed Manned Orbiting Laboratory might appear. Produced by Lockheed Missiles & Space Co., the artist’s cutaway concept displays (1) Gemini capsule in which two astronauts ascend to orbit and return to earth after about 30 days in space; (2) spheres for storage of fuels such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen; (3) living compartment (note astronaut resting); (4) air lock between compartments; (5) laboratory working compartment; (6) camera.”
8” x 9.75”. The ‘top’ border was likely trimmed at some point.
Based on it being Lockheed Missiles & Space Company and the meticulous airbrush work, this has Ludwik Źiemba’s fingerprints all over it. Either with him as the source, or one of his protégés, such as William Collopy or Anthony Saporito…maybe even something collaborative by some or all of them. Gorgeous.
MOL stuff abounds online.

Not a sunspot (look at all of them!):
Look closely, and you'll see the International Space Station (carrying seven humans) traveling at 17,500 mph caught Monday, passing in front of the Sun, visible through thin clouds from the Space Coast of Florida.
'Control, Little Grasshopper here, I am approaching the space station. Ready to disconnect from main booster, preparing for docking...'
Including: cocktail spacedresses, high heels space boots, earrings, zero-g hairdryer, cosmetics, in a nutshell everything a classy woman absolutely needs in space!
This week in 2011, space shuttle Atlantis, mission STS-135, launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center to the International Space Station. STS-135 carried the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies, logistics, and spare parts to the orbiting lab. This was the final launch of the Space Shuttle Program. Today, the Payload Operations Integration Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center serves as "science central" for the space station, working 24/7, 365 days a year in support of the orbiting laboratory's science experiments. After 20 years of continuous human presence, the space station remains the sole space-based proving ground and stepping stone toward achieving the goals of the Artemis program. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating, and preserving NASA's remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological, and scientific aspects of NASA's activities in aeronautics and space. For more pictures like this one and to connect to NASA's history, visit the Marshall History Program's webpage.

This shows part of a mock-up of the Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS), located at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK. The Columbus module is the primary research laboratory for the European Space Agency (ESA) on the ISS.
The interior of this mock-up highlights various scientific and operational racks used by astronauts in space:
Experimental Racks: These standardized cabinets house scientific equipment for research in areas such as biology, fluid physics, and material science.
Operational Equipment: The panels include a variety of control units, monitoring screens, and power supply interfaces necessary for maintaining the module's environment and systems.
Visual Indicators: Many modules feature labels like "Processing Unit" and include specialized components such as Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors (LAPPD), which are used for high-precision timing in imaging and physics experiments.
The real Columbus module was constructed in Turin, Italy, by Alcatel Alenia Space (now Thales Alenia Space) with functional equipment and software designed by EADS (now Airbus Defence and Space) in Bremen, Germany. The module was launched aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis on 7 February 2008, during mission STS-122. Columbus is operated by the Columbus Control Centre at the German Space Operations Center, part of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich. In 2008, ESA estimated the total cost of Columbus—including construction, ten years of operations, scientific experiments, and supporting ground infrastructure—at approximately €1.4 billion (£1.21 billion).
The National Space Centre in Leicester, is a museum and educational resource located on the north side of the city in Belgrave next to the River Soar. The prominent structure here is the Rocket Tower, which stands 42 meters tall with minimal steel supports and is clad in semi-transparent ETFE "pillows".
The National Space Centre covers the fields of space science and astronomy, along with a space research programme in partnership with the University of Leicester. Many of the exhibits, including upright rockets which are housed in the tower which has become one of Leicester's most recognisable landmarks. The National Space Centre contains the United Kingdom's largest planetarium. It is a registered charity with a board of trustees.

Look away
This experience feels like the precise opposite of growth; it is a forced devolution. My accumulated intellectual architecture is being made redundant, supplanted by this instantaneous, unearned 'knowledge.' The deep, satisfying process of intellectual assembly—hypothesis, experimentation, critique, synthesis—is being rendered moot.

Unspooling my identity
The world has contracted to the terrifying, singular inch directly before me. I can feel the synthetic nanoweave's cold, efficient hum and the binding material pressing against my temple, unwinding me. The aged electronic linen-like threads scratch, and I am consumed by confusion.
My eyes are forcibly locked open, demanding a conscious effort to blink, as I stare into the mechanism. The reflection on the closing shutter reveals my own pupil, dilated wide with sheer terror—a black void. As the pressure finally tightens and locks against my skull, I sense a thread snapping deep within my mind. It’s more than the pod sealing; it’s my disintegration. Everything, my history, my name, my very instincts, is rapidly unspooling, unraveling into the darkness as the machine encloses me.

Die Internatione Raumstation (ISS) beim Überflüg über dem Wiehengebirge am 23.03.2020.
Das Foto wurde aus 6 Einzelaufnahmen gestackt, wobei leider die Helligkeit der ISS-Spur etwas gelitten hat. Folgende Sternenbilder (von links nach rechts) sind zu erkennen:
- eine Ecke vom großen Hund
- Einhorn
- Orion
- Riegel
- Hase
- Stier
Prägnante Sterne am Himmel sind der Srius im Sternbild "Großer Hund" sowie die Venus.
Unverkennbar ist Sternenhaufen der Plejaden links über der Venus.
The orange lights blink thanks to a lifelites eLite kit, but you can't obviously see that in a picture... a movie would be better, and a movie you'll have soon!

Stop calling me daddy, Tinbrain!
Came across this tiny robot the other day - the author claims it's a pit droid from the Star Wars/ Clone Wars universe, whatever that means - and I just had to rebuild that cute little thingy and add another sector to my space station.
Toy Project Day 922
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) see the world at night on every orbit — that’s 16 times each crew day. An astronaut took this broad, short-lens photograph of Earth’s night lights while looking out over the remote reaches of the central equatorial Pacific Ocean. ISS was passing over the island nation of Kiribati at the time, about 2600 kilometers (1,600 miles) south of Hawaii.
Knowing the exact time and the location of the ISS, scientists were able to match the star field in the photo to charts describing which stars should have been visible at that moment. They identified the pattern of stars in the photo as our Milky Way galaxy (looking toward its center). The dark patches are dense dust clouds in an inner spiral arm of our galaxy; such clouds can block our view of stars toward the center.
The curvature of the Earth crosses the center of the image and is illuminated by a variety of airglow layers in orange, green, and red. Setting stars are visible even through the dense orange-green airglow.
The brightest light in the image is a lightning flash that illuminated a large mass of clouds. The flash reflected off the shiny solar arrays of the ISS and back to the camera. The dim equatorial cloud sheet is so extensive that it covers most of the sea surface in this view.
Astronaut photograph ISS044-E-45215 was acquired on August 9, 2015 by a member of the Expedition 44 crew, with a Nikon D4 digital camera using a 28 millimeter lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center.

Necropolis Gully Fertility as stone
The only sound in the deep quiet of the crevice was the crunch of my boots on the debris-strewn ground. Towering stone walls, draped in vibrant green moss, rose on either side, making me feel like an intruder in a forgotten tomb. My matte-black suit, a product of a future this place could never have imagined, felt profane against the ancient rock.
Then I saw it: a weathered, silent figure standing in the path. It was a statue of a woman, carved from the same stone as the gully but shaped with clear intent. Moss crept up its base and clung to its form like a second skin. This impossible artifact, an architectural anomaly in this raw, natural fissure, stopped me. My steady, determined posture belied the storm of questions raging in my mind. The statue stared forward with blank, unseeing eyes, a silent witness to a history I had just stumbled into. My mission was to find my crew, but this place, this silent, stone woman, was a new, unexpected variable in an equation I couldn't begin to solve.

Only accessible via a special rocket pod the Lettuce Bowl floats in a dark void. There is a hint of clouds and perhaps, if one stares long enough, the brief glimpse of a star. As for where the Earth or Moon is, there is no clue. Where ever it is, the station is open to the elements, with full gravity, and with accommodations to last two for a very long time.
