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.

For funzies. Pull the trigger back, and... let it go!
The launcher fires the ball successfully: it will remain airborne for about 1 ft after launch.
The smaller the piece to be fired, the further it will go... And the results would be even better if I could incorporate more springs...
The Apollo-Saturn V Museum has a Launch Control Room on display for visitors. Here the visitors to Kennedy Space Center can relive the Apollo 11 launch, by listening to the countdown and watching the various consoles light up as they give their GO to launch.
This needs to be seen large so you can see which box served which communication purpose. One box is entitled "Control Center Circuits Launcher."
The three pig launchers measure 127", 172", and 189" in length and are designed for 263 PSIG at 185ºF. The pipe diameters of each unit measure 10", 18", and 20", respectively. Two of the pig launchers/receivers are fabricated from carbon steel and one from stainless steel. All of the launchers/receivers were hydro-tested to ensure product quality.
The Supra Launch 21V cranks the wakes for pro shredder Taylor McCullough and then dials them back to beginner. Customizable rider profiles easily accessed through Supra’s new VISION Touch dash, can be tailored to individual skills with extreme precision. Supra’s wake-shaping SmatePlate, 1950-pound Flex Ballast and Zero Off speed control can be programed to preference and housed in as many as 16 unique profiles. And when you're ready for no wake, speed it up and drain the upgradable ballast for an amazing recreational ski. Recover from the water sports versatility in the new luxurious 21V interior. Deep supportive seating comforts with plush 4” bolsters and tough multi-textured Syntec NANO Block Technology (NBT) vinyl designs. The new swivel racing-style driver’s seat with E-Boost electronic height adjust and Warm-up Seat heat raises the driving experience way beyond better. The Double-up Seating of the Launch 21V adds a flip-up lean-back to the observer’s seat and the playpen, while the Sunsport 21V features a walk-through bow. This Supra is your road to water sports fun.

This 22.5-foot wake boat welcomes as many as 13 with versatile seating, comfort and wake sport performance. The Launch 22V interior brings resilient multi-textured Syntec NANO Block vinyls together with the durability of exclusive Gore Tenara thread. Triple density foam construction makes the interior as cushy as it is beautiful. Supra has made the high-traffic path from the lounge to the swim step worry-free with a fiberglass seat step and transom walkacross. The wakes are multi-discipline and pro caliber. Control your curl and your ramps with cockpit switching or a Touch of the VISION. As fun to drive as it is to ride, the 22V slices through rough water with flat precise turns. High and slow speed maneuvers are almost as impressive as you will look pulling them off. Playpen or walk-through bow, the Launch and Sunsport 22V will fit your wake boating lifestyle.

The champagne bottle does not send the ship down the ways. These men take care of that. They cut ropes and knock blocks out of the way. The man in the center is holding an axe to cut the ropes. About the time I took this photo, someone asked me why I was there. My German was far from perfect then, but I knew enough to say, "Ich bin der Sohn der Taufpatin" (I am the sponsor's son). That was good enough.

OSIRIS-REx will be the first U.S. mission to sample an asteroid, retrieve at least two ounces of surface material and return it to Earth for study. The asteroid, Bennu, may hold clues to the origin of the solar system and the source of water and organic molecules found on Earth. Photo Credit: (NASA/Joel Kowsky)

The Camera and the Brain: What brain research can teach the photographer. Available now!
I held this at Harold's Mansion, Dumaguete, Negros Island, Philippines. I'm happy about the attention my book got!
