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.

The 2021 Mauritius pilgrimage was a one of a kind, and never to be repeated again experience. With the nationwide lockdown, what was planned to be an outward adventure around the island transformed into a journey deeper within. As it is said, ‘Humans make plans, and God laughs!’
Though we remained mostly on the stunning Anelia Resort property, the days were nothing short of enriching. While much of the island quarantined at home, we had the great blessing of an ocean side, intimate quarantine with Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
The daily schedule, much more simplified then any other pilgrimage, consisted of daily abhishekams, lively kirtans, OM chanting, dozens of educational and heart opening satsangs from Guruji Himself, story sharing and discussion amongst the sangha, and of course the legendary Shivaratri!
To add to the exceptionally unique quality of this experience, we launched the first ever, incredibly successful virtual pilgrimage! The media team worked night and day to deliver top quality live footage, capturing moments that are not even seen in person! The reviews from participants were so touching and affirmative for the continuation of virtual pilgrimages to come.
It’s a challenge to put into words the ‘avalanche of grace’ that flowed from this unique chapter with the Master. So may these photos be the color and life of the many blessings from this very special Mauritius pilgrimage.

What has become an annual event that just keeps on keeping on, is the Auto fest Spring car Nats held in Shepparton. Here is a link to the event organisers page, autofest.com.au/.
The event has been going for over 30 years, and for many there is no better way to spend the weekend than with like-minded people, as the entrants burn rubber with an excess of horsepower, that is thankfully quite obscene : )
There was and is everything from the go to woe, handling events, drifting, and of cause burn outs! Burnouts bouncing of the rev limiting, literally hitting the red line burnouts. How much rubber do they burn, enough so I can smell it from my house nearly a mile away : ) PS the smoke signals might be cultural appropriation, so some one should bring along a Pontiac and make it officially ok : P
Jack Danniels www.jackdaniels.com/en-au has a bar, so Tennessee is represented, although in the main part, not much American iron turns up at the event in comparison to the Australian contingent and Japanese cars.
V8s are the flavor, although you might be surprised like I was this year to see a Honda S2000 turn up, a pleasant inclusion, with one of the all-time great 4 bangers in it.
Black snot is a thing, that is if you can handle the close quarters action! You might like to take some year plugs, even then for about mile you will still be able to hear the cars at it.
As a car enthusiast I enjoy the day, friendly people getting their thing on, and having a great time.
PS. Make sure you drink lots of water, and keep hydrated!
