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.

Well after a long period in gestation we finally launched Goalmates, the main reason I have been neglecting Flickr over the past few months. This photo was taken on the top of a nearby hill and has appeared in the local press and online. That's me on the right as you look at the picture:-)
We also got our company website and a blog up and running - phew! You can find out more about what we have been up to here:

In case any one is interested in web-based software to help you set personal goals and achieve them, here are a few links you might like to check out:
I'm happy to announce that I've just launched Rreset -- a gallery wall for your Flickr photosets.
Rreset automatically displays the largest version of a photo that will fit on your screen, and, if you know css or javascript, you can completely customize the way your photos appear.
I hope you enjoy it. Feedback welcome!
History
HSL 102, the only survivor of the 100 class in the UK, was launched in 1936 and was one of the very first, fast offshore rescue boats in service with the Royal Air Force. She was one of the most technologically advanced production craft of the day, the brainchild of Hubert Scott-Paine. From his powerboat racing days, he developed the concept of fast planing 'hard chine' powerboats. He realised that boats which travelled over the surface of the water could travel more quickly and more efficiently than those which travelled through.
Of mahogany double-diagonal construction, she was powered by three Napier Sea Lion petrol engines. During the Battle of Britain, she was mostly based at Blyth, Northumberland. Her war service also included periods based on the Firth of Forth at Calshot. In two months in 1941, she rescued thirty-eight aircrew from the North Sea, including the crews of two German bombers. As a result, she was inspected by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in July 1941.
When working off Calshot, she was damaged by a Messerschmitt 109 and her radio operator was killed. In 1943, she transferred to the Royal Navy for target towing, and paid off in 1946. She became a houseboat in Mill Creek at Darmouth and was in a sorry state when acquired for restoration. The extensive work needed was carried out by Powerboat Restorations at Fawley between 1993 and 1996. Three six-cylinder 420-bhp Cummins diesels were installed, giving a top speed of about 38knots.
On 5 July 1996, HSL 102 was relaunched at Fawley by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and was subsequently based at Lymington, Hampshire. In late 2009, she moved to Portsmouth following her acquisition by the Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust, with the help of a grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.

Subsequent Developments
1 May 2012 Vessel was taken in hand at Universal Marina, Sarisbury Green, on River Hamble, in September 2011 for re-engining by Mermaid Marine, of Poole. Three new FPT Iveco (not Fiat as first reported), six-cylinder diesel engines, each developing 400HP, have been fitted and her gearboxes have been overhaulsed. She made 30 knots on sea trials. The work was completed in April 2012 and she has returned to Portsmouth. Source: Paul Brown, May 2012
October 2012 Vessel's been out of the water in the month and had her propellers changed along with some ongoing maintenance. She completed sea trials shortly after completion. Source: Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (PNBPT) Newsletter, Oct 2012

First 90s of the Kepler launch aboard a Delta II from Cape Canaveral.
Sorry for the shaky video. My girlfriend and I were more interested in watching the launch than film/photographing it. :-)

Softline Pastel - a member of the Softline Group and a local leader in accounting, payroll and business software -- has launched Pastel My Business Online, its first online accounting system, which targets small to medium businesses (SMBs).
“Very often, products become complicated by the sheer volume of features added to it over time," says Softline Pastel managing director Steven Cohen, who explained that by developing Pastel My Business Online from scratch, the company had the opportunity to design the software specifically for business owners who were either starting out with very little bookkeeping knowledge, or who only wanted a basic system.

Launch-Entry Suit
Space Shuttle
The Launch-Entry Suit was a partial-pressure suit worn by Space Shuttle astronauts to protect against loss of cabin pressure during ascent and descent. Introduced after the 1986 Challenger accident, it was used until the late 1990s, when the full pressure Advanced Crew Escape Suit was phased out.
Informally called the "pumpkin suit" for its bright color, it pressurized at 3.2 pounds per square inch, and the inflated internal bladder exerted mechanical pressure on the crewmember's body. The helmet visor and neck dam were pressure seals, but the gloves were not; they connected to the suit by a tube and needle valve. The Launch-Entry Suit included an integrated "g-suit" to prevent blood from pooling in the lower body during reentry. The vest-like harness worn over the suit contained a parachute, breathing air tank, and survival gear for an emergency bail-out.
This suit was never worn in space. The gloves, boots and harness were worn in training or flight. All launch-entry helmets are still in use in NASA's inventory of flight gear.
