Dr. Oscar Monje, a research scientist, packs a growing substrate called arcillite in the science carrier, or base, of the Advanced Plant Habitat (APH) inside a laboratory at the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Seated at right is Susan Manning-Roach, a quality assurance specialist on the Engineering Services Contract. Developed by NASA and ORBITEC of Madison, Wisconsin, the APH is the largest plant chamber built for the agency. It is a fully automated plant growth facility that will be used to conduct bioscience research on the International Space Station. The APH will be delivered to the space station aboard future Commercial Resupply Services missions. Photo credit: NASA/Bill White
I thought this guy's expression was interesting. Was he thinking how it might look in his apartment? Probably not. By the time I got this photo I had pretty much covered the exhibit and was going back over to see how other people were responding to it. Some of the people there weren't even born when "2001" came out, more than 45 years ago. And considering Kubrick's final film came out in 1999, Kubrick may seem like a relic of the past to them. Maybe.
Inside a laboratory in the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a quality technician checks the hardware for the Advanced Plant Habitat flight unit. The flight unit is an exact replica of the APH that was delivered to the International Space Station. Validation tests and post-delivery checkout was performed to prepare for space station in-orbit APH activities. The flight unit will be moved to the International Space Station Environmental Simulator to begin an experiment verification test for the science that will fly on the first mission, PH-01.

Thrilled that we captured both the cargo ship ATV5 and the International Space Station tonight!
ATV5 is due to dock with the ISS on 12th August, taking valuable supplies up to the present crew ;0)
Skylab was a space station launched and operated by NASA and was the U.S.'s first space station. Skylab orbited the Earth from 1973 to 1979.
In the early hours of the 12th of July, 1979, Skylab crashed on WA's south east coast, scattering debris across the Nullarbor and the eastern goldfields and causing a worldwide sensation.
The component of ‘SKYLAB’ mounted at the Australian Emergency Management Institute is a welded titanium sphere 615 mm in diameter, weighing some 55 kg.
Seeds are being planted in Veggie Passive Orbital Nutrient Delivery System (PONDS) units inside a laboratory at the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Veggie PONDS is a direct follow-on to the Veg-01 and Veg-03 hardware and plant growth validation tests. The primary goal of this newly developed plant growing system, Veggie PONDS, is to demonstrate uniform plant growth. PONDS units have features that are designed to mitigate microgravity effects on water distribution, increase oxygen exchange and provide sufficient room for root zone growth. PONDS is planned for use during Veg-04 and Veg-05 on the International Space Station after the Veggie PONDS Validation flights on SpaceX-14 and OA-9. Photo credit: NASA/Daniel Casper

I took inspirtion from Dune and Star Wars for the ground dwelling creature.
The Materials International Space Station Experiment-Flight Facility, or MISSE-FF, hardware arrived at the Space Station Processing Facility low bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Technicians assist as one of the components is lowered onto another MISSE component. MISSE will be used to test various materials and computing elements on the exterior of the space station. They will be exposed to the harsh environment of low-Earth orbit, including to a vacuum, atomic oxygen, ultraviolet radiation, direct sunlight and extreme heat and cold. The experiment will provide a better understanding of material durability, from coatings to electronic sensors, which could be applied to future spacecraft designs. MISSE will be delivered to the space station on a future commercial resupply mission. Photo credit: NASA/Leif Heimbold

This station was built in just over a month for BrickCon 2020. It is done in microscale and is part of a line of Evarts Aerospace designs that I intend to carry forward for the foreseeable future. Below is the text of the description included with these photos at BrickCon.
Evarts Aerospace presents: Luna Gateway. This multi-purpose station is positioned at the L1 Lagrange point and serves as a cargo transfer station and shipyard for the construction and service of spacecraft. It was constructed in the late 2000s as a replacement for the aging Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway. Taking advantage of the booming lunar manufacturing infrastructure, the station was the first to be assembled directly in space instead of with modules built on the surface of a planet or moon.
The station is made up of a central core over 2,700 meters in length, containing communications, power, life support, a shipyard facility, and cargo storage and handling docks. Surrounding the core is a habitation ring 110 decks thick, supporting a resident population of over 5,000 people.
Although not the first shipyard to produce vessels for exploration and colonization of the outer solar system, Luna Gateway holds a special place as the station responsible for development of some of the fastest and most robust ships ever built. The Vespucci class colony support ship, famous for making four Earth-Saturn round trips with no major equipment failures, was designed and constructed here!
Rumors that military ships are being constructed at Luna Gateway are patently false, and Evarts Aerospace has no further comment on that matter.
Whether you’re just stopping by on your way to the far reaches of the solar system or taking a low-gravity vacation, Luna Gateway is your gateway to everything space!"
After capturing the ISS from West to above me, I quickly moved the camera to get it flying overhead to East shot, which is why there is a short delay in capturing from frame edge.. I let the camera settle for a second to eliminate any vibrations.
Note, the lens information is incorrect due to some weird communications problem with the lens and camera.
Correct settings are 27-70mm lens at 35mm.
