The Rhino Seeker Missile Launcher is the slowest seeker missile launching weapon with a launch speed of 600 mph. It uses an electronic sight and utilizes a loading port that slides out.
Note: Seeker missile launchers don't need the blast duct in the back to release the exhaust (a way to save our environment)
More than 800 students from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico launched nearly 50 high-powered, amateur rockets April 15, near NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, during the Agency's annual rocket competition.
For the past nine months prior, teams of middle school, high school, college, and university students were tasked to design, build, and launch a rocket and scientific payload to an altitude between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, while making a successful landing and executing a scientific or engineering payload mission.
Student Launch is one of NASA's eight Artemis Student Challenges - a series of activities providing students access to the Artemis program. Through Artemis, NASA will return humans to the Moon for long-term exploration, including landing the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, missions that will help pave the way for future missions to Mars.
The 2023 launch event and award ceremony are available to view on NASA's Marshall YouTube and Student Launch Facebook pages.

Launching a fishing boat off Coco Beach, Ghana. Each launch takes nearly an hour as the team have to manually edge the boat forward on incoming suitable waves. Finally the boat has enough momentum, but 100 yards out they meet a few large waves. Amazingly they all remained standing.
As I can't edit or upload large images, will have to clean the dust spot later :(

okay... so they got a better photo. but i got the minuteman in action!
Had a great set of launches today in Livermore. Recovered all the mid-power rockets, which is a special treat. On this LOC Precision Starburst rocket, you can see the two Aerotech F-size motors burning side-by-side in the full size image.
The wide-bottom rocket waiting on the pad flies without fins.
Casualties of the day:
* Only recovered the digital altimeter from "Flower Power" which roared to 3,232 feet. Hopefully someone in Livermore will find the parachute and main tube that drifted out of sight.
* Lost the bottom half of the photo rocket (but I recovered the nose-cone camera and am collecting photos from apogee on 110 roll film).

Thirteen seconds into the launch, before the holding clamps were released, the flight had been aborted by the monitoring computer system. This photo is from the live web-cast from Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands.
Looks like they may try another launch when the problem that halted the launch is fixed.
Link to the web site for the web-cast is at www.spacex.com ... Thanks to Flickrite Jurvetson for the link.
A new pilot scheme, launched this week, will significantly boost the ability to tackle and prevent crime and antisocial behaviour on Greater Manchester’s bus and tram network.
Under the Travelsafe Partnership, a dedicated team of 16 police constables, police community support officers, special constables and security personnel will provide regular patrols on the region’s networks for the next three years.
Led by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) and Greater Manchester Police (GMP), the scheme will use crime and antisocial behaviour data from contributing operators – Metrolink, First Bus and Stagecoach – to target patrols in hotspot areas at key times and support front line staff.
The establishment of a dedicated team will provide expertise and knowledge that will also assist in the identification of repeat offenders, while the provision of body-worn cameras in conjunction with existing public transport CCTV will help gather evidence for prosecutions.
Where appropriate, the partnership will seek to use legal powers to ban offenders from public transport and deliver restorative justice schemes following prosecution.
The pilot will also focus on preventative measures and youth education, with uniformed officers visiting schools to educate youngsters on the dangers, impacts and consequences of crime, antisocial behaviour and fare evasion on public transport.
The pilot will initially run for three years but will be subject to formal annual reviews and regular scrutiny by a strategy group made up of members from organisations involved.

You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
The word drone seems to have quite negative connotations these days, so we tend to call ours a UAV (Unmanned Aeriel Vehicle). This is part of my work - in this instance we are flying over the Somerset levels, in order to get high resolution aerial imagery, so that we can study the state of the rhynes (ditches) in terms of vegetation and algae in the water. Thanks for looking.

Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Filipino people, the Austronesian speaking people traveled from the Asian mainland by land bridges across the continental shelf to the South East Asian archipelago. They then sailed onward to as far East as Polynesia, and as far West as Madagascar, aboard the ancient vessel: the Balangay.....
