John 14:6 (NIV)
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
MSP-01 Assault Shuttle
Designed by NASA in co-operation with certain Departments of Defense from countries around the world, this shuttles main mission is to "get rid of" enemy sattelites and space stations built for spying purposes. Equipped with four rocket powered hydrogen bombs the MSP-01 can destroy two large sized or four medium sized targets on one mission.
The MSP-01 is designed to look like a non hostile shuttle, this to bypass any ships that might be defending the target. If necessary, the MSP-01 has two heavy-duty cannons that can be used to eliminate the threat of hostile ships. These cannons can shoot different types of rocket powered ammunition all with their own purpose which can be selected by the gunner.
Specifications:
- 4 liquid-fuel rocket engines with seperate resevoir tanks
- Top speed of 19550mph with all engines at full power
- Crew consists of a pilot and a gunner
- 2 cannons with up to 3 different types of ammo each (explosives, electric circuit killers, armour penetrating nerve gas capsules)
- 4 small rocket powered hydrogen bombs
- Can go from flight/stealth mode to assault mode within 15 seconds ; hydrogen bombs ready to fire within 20 seconds. Cannons can be fired at any time

My entry for the Real World Starfighter Contest. I had a lot of fun building this micro scale MOC and I think it turned out pretty good! The shuttle's hatch can open and close.
I was on the phone with my parents around 8pm, when the call got cut off. While waiting for them to call back, I browsed Facebook and saw from a friend that the International Space Station was due to fly over Maine at 8:38pm. I would have totally missed it otherwise!
Anyway, here you can see the ISS followed by the SpaceX Crew Dragon “Endeavour”, which just undocked from the ISS an hour earlier. (They're passing by an unidentified star as well.)

View big here if you want to make out what I think is a bit of detail on the space station - I think you can maybe make out the aggregate shape of the panels and the more-brightly-lit station body.
The International Space Station passed right over the Bay Area on the morning of 14th of January. From where I was standing in Potrero Hill, it passed close by the moon, but the indefatigable fksr captured it going right in front of the moon here by taking the photo from nearby Marin.
At its closest point, it was 404km (80.33 rods) away.
This is a composite of 19 shots, taken with a 300mm lens at f/11, 0.2 seconds apart.
What happened to the models and props used in 2001?
Frederick Ordway (technical/scientific advisor to Kubrick) said that almost all of the props were destroyed. He said that, at one time, there was a plan to donate all of it to the Smithsonian, but that Stanley felt uncomfortable about it because he felt that it may destroy the illusion of the film for people.
Then Ordway said that a high school (Borehamwood?) was supposed to get all of the artifacts from the film. This never happened and the school was upset about it. Ordway said that he believes almost all of the artifacts have been destroyed and he hinted that they were destroyed when MGM closed their Borehamwood facility in the 1970's.
2001 Space Station
Trevor Parsons writes ;
I was at college in Stevenage (about 15 miles away from St Albans in the early 1970's). Our studio, we were studying graphic art, faced the entrance to the local corporation dump. One afternoon in 1974 a truck turned up after the dump was closed & left some crates in the entrance way. They contained 2 of the models used in 2001, the space wheel & one of the pods. Of course they may not have been the only ones but I believe they were genuine (the film had been made about 20 miles away at Boreham Wood the old MGM studios). By the time I got there the pod had been taken, the space wheel damaged & taken out its wooden case. I took pictures of it, its surface had been covered with bits of old plastic construction kits to make it look more technical when filmed. I desperately wanted to take it home, but I only had a motor bike & a room 8 feet by 10 so it was not really workable. It was smashed up by kids a few days later.

"Earth is dying. For the past 500 years mankind constructed a space station to home as many survivors as possible before our planet couldn't support life any longer.
The ice caps had melted leaving 90% of the earth covered with water. Hundreds of millions of people lived a cramped, crime ridden, densly populated slum cities around the world and quickly used up every natural resource. The space agencies had advanced to search our own solar system looking for a place to inhabit but to no avail. The space station will aid in a galaxy wide search for a new home.
Almost dead, Earth suffered a direct hit from a giant metor which prompted the evacuation to Space Station #5. Millions would be left behind".

A microscale ship about 150-200 meters long departs the shipyard. The ship is designed to look similar to the CSV Vespucci, but due to limitations of detail on this scale I couldn't do an exact replica. Therefore it is some other class of vessel. Maybe I'll build a minifig scale version of it someday.
This is a built (by someone else, long ago) model kit that I acquired, the Lindberg Space Station (this particular one is a 1970s reissue of the original 1950s kit). There are numerous parts missing, yet it still looks great for my purposes.
The "wheel" space station concept used for this kit was based on by Werner Von Braun's designs.
Check out the original size view.

On Sunday, July 31, 2011, when Expedition 28 astronaut Ron Garan aboard the International Space Station looked out his window, this is what he saw: the moon. And, he saw it 16 times. Said Garan, "We had simultaneous sunsets and moonsets." For Garan and the rest of the station crew, this extraordinary event is a daily occurrence. Since the station orbits the Earth every 90 minutes, each day the crew experiences this about 16 times a day.

Forty-eight years ago this week, one of the 'greatest and most influential films ever made' was released...thought-provoking and mysterious, visually ground-breaking.
For this week's topic, a study of the Senitype (no: '002572') from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: a space odyssey'. A Senitype is a limited edition art graphic produced from a single (70-millimetre) frame of motion picture film...
