The Space Launch Systems rocket (SLS), with Orion atop it, left the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center at around 23:00 CET (22:00 GMT) on 17 March to begin its 6.5 km trip to Launchpad LC39B.
The first Artemis mission will send Orion to the Moon and back, farther than any human-rated spacecraft has travelled before. ESA’s European Service Module is the powerhouse that fuels and propels Orion and provides everything needed to keep astronauts alive, including water, oxygen, power and temperature control.
While the rocket will propel Orion to supersonic speeds, the rocket itself is moved slowly but securely to the launchpad. Traveling at a maximum speed of just 1.3 km/h, the 6.5-km voyage took nearly 12 hours to complete on a specially designed crawler vehicle.
Launching Orion and the European Service Module into Earth orbit and onto the Moon requires a huge amount of energy and the size of the mega-Moon rocket SLS is hard to convey in photos.
At 100 m tall, it is roughly the height of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) in London, UK, or 16 giraffes stacked on top of each other. If you laid the rocket on the ground, it would take over a minute to walk from the engines to the tip of the launch abort system.

On a misty, Sunday morning my grandson (22yrs) and I took a bike ride up to Rat Lake from Mill Bay Road at Bamberton, BC (on Vancouver Island).
It was a blast! After an exhilarating bike ride, we put the drone up and got some misty video of the lake from 100ft.
The trail is maintained by the Cowichan Valley Regional District while the land is owned by a logging company. After landing the drone, we rode our bikes up to the lake. The trails are very rough.
Derwent Water Launch, heading back to Keswick, passing Rampsholme Island.
Derwentwater (or Derwent Water) is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park in north west England. It lies wholly within the Borough of Allerdale, in the county of Cumbria.
The lake occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. It measures approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited. Derwent Island House, an 18th century residence, is a tenanted National Trust property open to the public on five days each year.
Derwentwater is a place of considerable scenic value. It is surrounded by hills (known locally as fells), and many of the slopes facing Derwentwater are extensively wooded. A regular passenger launch operates on the lake, taking passengers between various landing stages. There are seven lakeside marinas, the most popular stops being: Keswick, Portinscale and the Lodore Falls, from which boats may be hired. Recreational walking is a major tourist activity in the area and an extensive network of footpaths exists within the hills and woods surrounding the lake.
The Keswick—Borrowdale road runs along the eastern shore of the lake and carries a regular bus service. There is a lesser, or unclassified, road along the western shore connecting the villages of Grange and Portinscale.
Derwentwater gave its name to the Earldom of Derwentwater.
The lake is believed to be the last remaining native habit of the vendace (Coregonus vandesius) fish from the 4 originally known sites: Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwent Water in the Lake District and the Castle Loch & Mill Loch in Lochmaben.
From the Launch Party in March. for the livestock festival in Niagara Falls on July 22nd. The festival highlights local music, art & artisans, as well as craft beer and a wellness area. If your in the area & your interested, check it out at .https://livestockniagara.com

Vulcan, United Launch Alliance’s next-generation American rocket, lifts off in this artist’s rendering. The rocket design leverages the proven success of the Delta IV and Atlas V launch vehicles while introducing advanced technologies and innovative features. Vulcan will have a maximum liftoff thrust of 3.8 million pounds and carry 56,000 pounds to low Earth orbit, 33,000 pounds to a geo-transfer orbit and 16,000 pounds to geostationary orbit with greater capability than any currently available single-core launch vehicle.

One of my favorite days over our summer road trip was our visit to the Kennedy Space Center. We took a tour of the entirety of the Space Center and were able to see the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) and Launch Pad 39A pictured above. Launch Pad 39A is the most famous of NASA's launch pads. 39A is where every moon mission launched from. It was amazing to stand so close to such a monumental structure that has affected humankind so much.
So basically I've been working on her 'look' forever. I finally got her eyes and need to work on her outfit. Of course, I've also put her up for sale because I just don't know anymore...
A Great Blue Heron launches of a limb on the Turner River near the Big Cypress Swamp National Preserve, Florida.
Early on a January morning, we left on the first boat out 10,000 Islands of Everglades National Park in Everglades City for a trip up the Turner River.

Ceremonial ship launching has been a Naval tradition since the very beginning of ship construction. The event of transferring a ship or boat build on land into water has been involved has been associated with many traditions/religion, with events such as this recorded by the Egyptians, Greeks and Babylonians since ancient times.
Over the years, this sort of events has been more elaborated and frequently used as propaganda or as morale booster for the civilian population and the military.
The model here represents the launch ceremony of the latest group of JMSDF (Japanese Maritime Self defense Force) conventional submarines, the Taigei Class submarines.

Quite a bit of PS work needed here to take out the sun reflections on my twin Singh-Ray Filters here. I used my three stop reverse grad and two stop hard edged grad to hold back that direct sunlight whilst exposing properly for the foreground rocks.
I'm not sure that the whole shot escaped totally unscathed - but I like the energy of the breaking wave and the rushing water in the foreground.
Hope you enjoy it too ;-)

A United Launch Alliance Delta II rockets lifts off on it's 153rd mission since being introduced in 1989, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The workhorse lifted NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Satellite into orbit to study the Earth's soil moisture every 2-3 days over the next three years.
So this is the finished product. The Heavy support launcher Model 15 'Brutus' Automatic grenade launcher.(Well, if that isn't a mouthful...) This is the version that is mounted onto Jeeps and whatnot. Expect a carried version soon.
It functions nearly the same way as most Russian grenade launchers, with the gas from the blanks propelling the caseless grenade.

While flying north of San Juan, P.R., abeam Florida, although still hundreds of miles away from the launch site. Note the moon.

The Annie Mellor is a passenger vessel built in 1932 by Borwick & Sons as a houseboat for Sir George Mellor, JP. At the time, there was seating for 120 with accommodation for 40 in the cabin which was furnished in blue velvet with mahogany and brass fittings. It arrived at Derwentwater in 1935 and after a total rebuild in 2008 is in regular use.
Annie Mellor was the sister of Sir George Mellor, JP, who was appointed a knighthood in 1921 for public and national services, particularly in connection with The King’s Lancashire Military Convalescent Hospital, Blackpool.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, spacecraft begins its 10-month journey to Mars, launching atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 1:28 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Launch was on schedule Nov. 18 at the opening of a two-hour launch window. After a 10-month journey to the Red Planet, MAVEN will study its upper atmosphere in unprecedented detail from orbit above the planet. Built by Lockheed Martin in Littleton, Colo., MAVEN will arrive at Mars in September 2014 and will be inserted into an elliptical orbit with a high point of 3,900 miles, swooping down to as close as 93 miles above the planet's surface.
