Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is mini figures. This is the perfect theme since Mr. Egg just made it into the aspiring astronaut team ! He is very proud and can’t stop smiling while wearing his astronaut helmet and standing in a row with other future astronauts. Of course, the training to become an actual astronaut is long and very difficult… And Mr. Egg will have to train very hard and maybe even lose some weight before going to space (but this is secondary since we all know that weight don't matter in a zero gravity situation)… However, right now, all Mr. Egg can think about is how happy he is, standing among all those mini figures. I hope this « first day » at astronaut school picture will make you smile !
Those mini Lego figures are from my husband’s collection. Now, my sons play with them… and sometimes I do too, especially if it is for a Flickr challenge.
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate tableware at Macro Mondays. Once again, I went with a fork since I love the shadows they can produce. As you can see this old silver fork, looks like an item from the another the or space… Who knows, maybe this fork was even on the moon with NASA. I, personally, have no recollection how this from ended up at my house. However, we all know by now that I’m a hoarder and that tableware has a place in my hoarding process for sure. So lets just say that this is an old astronaut fork from 1969 and it might have been used by Neil Armstrong himself… and this being said, it is my day at the office today so wish me luck ! See you later !
Mucho, mucho amor for you my friends !! Have a beautiful day !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr
He should be careful pretending to be an astronaut; a drop of 1mm and a twist clockwise and he would have been a smoothie.

So yesterday I got to spend the afternoon with Dr Jackie Bell one of the participants of the BBC2 television show "Astronauts ~ Do You Have What It Takes?" in the Science Museum in London, this is her story here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIQBd1BbR4E and a great time was spent by all.:)
Have a Fabulous Sunday Y'all..:)
We got to meet Josh at our Library in town when he came in and spoke on his trip to space. I made a collage of a picture of us and one he took of space that he displayed and you can see where I've typed Chx and that is Charlevoix from space. You can see Lake Michigan, our little round lake and Lake Charlevoix clearly.
NASA astronaut Josh Cassada retired Oct. 1, after 11 years of service to the agency across multiple programs, including 157 days in space and three spacewalks. Cassada also is a retired United States Navy captain and naval aviator with more than two decades of service.
Cassada served as pilot of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 mission and Expedition 68 flight engineer aboard the International Space Station, executing myriad maintenance, contingency, and upgrade activities inside the station while also contributing to hundreds of experiments and technology demonstrations. His three spacewalks outside of the orbiting laboratory totaled more than 21 hours, successfully installing a pair of International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays (IROSAs) to boost the station’s electrical capacity. Cassada, alongside crewmate NASA astronaut Frank Rubio, also assembled the infrastructure for a future IROSA installation and fully restored a malfunctioning legacy solar array.
This week's image shows ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti hard at work on her first ever spacewalk, conducted alongside cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev. Not only that, but this spacewalk was also the first conducted by a European woman, and the first conducted by a European in an Orlan spacesuit from the International Space Station. Congratulations, Samantha!
The pair of spacewalkers worked on a number of tasks over the course of their seven-hour Extravehicular Activity, also known as an EVA. After being assisted into their gear by cosmonaut Sergei Korsakov, Samantha and Oleg exited the Space Station via the airlock of the Poisk module, and proceeded to deploy ten nanosatellites by hand as part of a radio technology experiment.
The European Robotic Arm (ERA) received a lot of attention during this spacewalk. In preparations for the ERA’s first operations on the newest Space Station’s laboratory module, Nauka, Samantha and Oleg installed a temporary ERA adapter, removed and replaced a protective window on the arm’s camera unit, as well as switched its control panel to stowage mode.
The duo also installed platforms and workstation adapter hardware mounted on Nauka. Due to a slight delay, scheduled boom installation to aid movement in future EVAs has been deferred to a future spacewalk.
After a job well done, both Samantha and Oleg took a well-deserved lie-in on 22 July. They did, however, spend the rest of the day hard at work cleaning and checking the various components of each of the Orlan spacesuits.
Samantha’s Missions Minerva continues, and you can follow along via her Twitter, TikTok, Flickr, or on our dedicated Minerva mission page.

What you know about rollin' down in the deep?
When your brain goes numb, you can call that mental freeze
When these people talk too much, put that shit in slow motion, yeah
I feel like an astronaut in the ocean, ayye!
# I nominate Henry Rollins!
# Left home after fronting a small DC punk band, auditioned for Black Flag, got the gig, jumped in a van and toured the world with one of the great bands of punk rock! Throughout the years, including the post-Flag Rollins Band period, he remained consistent, constantly touring and recording, with a spirit always restless for more, including spoken word world tours, and a rather prolific book release schedule through his own press. Also, true to his word (the most intense, brutally candid person I've ever met) walked away from performing music at the age of 50, as promised. He's done music radio and TV shows, acted opposite De Niro and Pacino, worked for National Geographic, travelled alone to this planet's more dangerous locales armed only with a camera... what more do you want? Ok! He has a tattoo of a black sun covering his entire back with the phrase "SEARCH AND DESTROY" underneath! Are you down?!
This photo was taken in the Technik Museum Speyer in Germany. It shows an astronaut. Olympus OMD EM 10 was used with an Olympus M. 9-18 wide-angle lens.
For his first mission as a young astronaut, Benny was sent to the planet Terraleafia, where he had to explore and collect samples. He was so excited that Command gave him a SHIP!!!...that he forgot to collect and explore. He was fired right after the mission end.
The spaceship was inspired by Inthert's beautiful Bubblegum Guppy ship. Mine turned out pretty heavy for it's size, as I used 2 6x6 eraser pieces (product number: 5005108).

Houston we have a problem...
Elsa managed to find an astronaut outfit, but she has too much brains for this little helmet, also the space ship she could get is not big enough. Sorry alien friends, another time it will be...

Thank you all for the visit, kind remarks and invites, they are very much appreciated! 💝 I may reply to only a few comments due to my restricted time spent at the computer.

A real astronauts suit (waterproof and machine washable!). This one used to belong to a good friend of mine. NOTETOSELF: I need a new nametag.
When astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti received her first assignment — to spend a record 200 days aboard the International Space Station — she knew she wanted to document the opportunity of a lifetime through photography. The resulting images are breathtaking.

Astronaut John Young, who walked on the Moon during Apollo 16 and commanded the first space shuttle mission, died Friday, Jan. 5, 2018, at the age of 87 from complications of pneumonia. Young began his impressive career at NASA in 1962, when he was selected from among hundreds of young pilots to join NASA's second astronaut class, known as the "New Nine." Young is the only agency astronaut to go into space as part of the Gemini, Apollo and space shuttle programs, and the first to fly into space six times.
In this image, John Young, astronaut and Navy veteran, salutes the U.S. flag at the Descartes landing site during the first Apollo 16 extravehicular activity (EVA-1). Young, commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, jumps up from the lunar surface as astronaut and Air Force veteran, Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot, took this picture.
