Watching Space shuttle launches is not really my thing but when my friend Paul Aughey set the trip up, how could I pass on going to Florida. The day before the launch, they predicted a 30% chance of a successful launch because of a tropical weather system passing through the area. Paul found a viewing access about seven miles to the north in Mosquito Lagoon (appropriately named I might add). Hundreds if not thousands of fellow kayakers and canoers lined the channel under the watchful eye of the U.S. Coast Guard. I have to admit I got kinda teary-eyed when the thing took off. I think the coolest thing was about 90 seconds after it took off this incredible thunderous roar reached us. It sounded and vibrated like heavy thunder but it lasted for minutes. It was amazing. Too bad my longest lens was on a 300 mm.
One of the joys of having trained dancers as models is the incredible leaps they do when you say jump.
One of the problems of having trained dancers as models is their heads go out of range too often.
Nice leap, Em!

The Supra Launch 21v is known for producing big air under even novice riders. The walls of wakes this Supra produces give beginning to intermediate shredders the momentum they need to get up and over aerial moves. Thanks to the customizable rider profiles housed in Supra’s VISION dash, wake riding sets can be tailored to individual skills with extreme precision. Wake shape, size and boat speed can all be programed to preference. The Launch 21V offers all of this wake performance without forgetting about what’s on the inside. Deep supportive seating frames a boat load of storage to accommodate as many as 14 and their gear on the lake. A huge insulated ice chest complimented by oversized cup holders adds to the 21V’s accommodation. Take into account the new standard Clarion-Polk Audio Sound System, customizable seating like the extended observer’s leanback and the choice of bow configurations with the walkthrough Sunsport and playpen Launch series models. The 21V is not just about accommodation but a truly individual experience.

The Launch 22v is the perfect combination of size, refinement and performance. This 22.5-foot wakeboard boat welcomes a crew of 15 with room for gear and an interior geared toward luxurious accommodation. Completely redesigned for 2012, the 22V interior brings together intricate sections of multi-textured Syntec Nanoblock vinyls with the durability of exclusive Gore Tenara thread. Triple density foam construction makes the Launch interior as comfortable as it is eye-catching. Supra has made the high-traffic path from the lounge to the swim step worry-free with a newly tooled rear seat step and transom walk-over covered in SeaDeck no-slip padding. The wakes are pro caliber and controllable with cockpit switch or the VISION dash, but the 22V is as much about the drive as it is the ride. Slicing through rough water with flat precise turns, the 22V is exhilarating to drive. The high and slow speed maneuvers are almost as impressive as you will look pulling them off. Available with a walk-through bow as a Sunsport or with the Launch playpen, the 22V captures your water sports boating lifestyle.

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.

People are starting to post spring shots of lovely flowers and other cool stuff.
Well that's great, but I like summer better than spring. So here is a shot that makes you envy those days when its hot and you want a ice tea pronto.
Although im not going to lie to you, this was shot in the winter but it was an extremely sunny day. This is actually near the forgotten horse race track.
Have a great day!

Pro riders gravitate towards this sleek 24-footer for the accommodating 17-person interior as much as the performance and wakes. There’s a lot to be said for a plush place to recover and professional riders like Amber Wing are on board with Supra’s style of comfort. Amber especially appreciated the comfort and the performance of her Supra this year while she trained for and won Queen of Wake and Best Women’s Rider. The wide seating gives you the ability to kick back and slide into the luxurious interior with full support. Double-up convertible rear-facing seats take the strain out of being a spectator. Of course when it’s “game on,” riders want to be behind the 242 where the Gravity III ballast system swells to an industry-leading 1700 pounds, the SmartPlate refines shape and the wakes Launch. Take the reigns on all of this performance with the VISION dash controlling speed, wake size, wake shape and tailoring those settings for specific riders. The Supra Launch 242 is the ride of your life inside and out.

Public Health Minister Aileen Campbell has launched a consultation on ambitious plans to help people lose weight.
The Minister launched the consultation at Tynecastle stadium, where she met participants in the SPFL Trust’s Football Fans in Training (FFIT) weight management programme.
It's hard to get a shot of a small rocket taking off. One moment there's a rocket sitting there, and the next just a puff of smoke. This is the only shot I got of the darn thing leaving the launch pad, so let's just ignore the crooked horizon.
