Minuteman Launch Control Center, SD
The Minuteman Missile National Historic Site illustrates the history of the Cold War. It consists of the underground Launch Control Facility and the missile silo . The Delta 9 facility was constructed in 1963 and was part of the 44th Strategic Missile Wing at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota. The Minuteman missiles were ICBM provided with nuclear warheads.
After the Start II treaty was signed, many of the Minuteman facilities were decommissioned. 500 Minuteman III missiles are still operated with three operational wings.

Scamp Camp #1, "Scurvy Dogs Team" Reunion 2013, Port Townsend, WA
The planned reunion of a bunch of Scamp Camp #1 boats didn't quite come as planned, Luna #162 wasn't quite ready for her first splash! No worries, we went to Port Townsend for the first weekend of Camp #4, anyway, so we could partake in the launch of Zephyr #161, the fine vessel built by Keith Nasman! While there, we took part in the inaugural launch of two (!!) Scamps (Zephyr and Skol, the beautiful product of Terry's work, from Scamp Camp #3), cruised the waters on an epic trip in Zephyr, and popped into the first day of Camp #4 to wish the next crop of scamplings a fruitful birth.
A rather unconventional launch sequence to say the least. Webb brings up a wagon load of gear. Roger works the bicycle pump. Aehle and Logan dig in their heels to hold the satellite back from the rear while my dad pushes it back from the front. Meanwhile, Berkley stands by waiting to light the fuse.
My dad took the whole family down to Florida in 1966 to watch the launch. I don't remember it looking anything like this.
In the early to mid 1960s, one of the projects he worked on was the S-6, a satellite designed to measure gasses and pressure in space. The task of designing and building a satelite that was small and light weight enough to fit in the launch vehicle yet strong enough to survive all the forces placed upon it was bad enough, but the satelite case also had to be perfectly and hermetically sealed, the batteries powerful enough to last the duration of the mission, and the contents (batteries, scientfic instruments, radios and structural members) had to be perfectly balanced so it wouldn't wobble while spining. Thses cartoons, drawn by one of the draftsmen, poke fun at their efforts to make it all work. Not only did they succeed, but the satelite outlasted its predicted lifespan.

When you live on a farm you have access to all kinds of machinery that you just wouldn't otherwise. There is a pond on the Zollingers farm by which stands a huge cottonwood tree. Using a forklift the swinger stands on the blades, then your raised high into the air, where you sit on the swing, and then the forklift backs up and you launch out into space. Its a bit scary and a rush to say the least.
Sgt. Marcus Jackson, a Soldier from the 290th MP Company in Parkville, Md. fires the M203 grenade launcher during annual training while Sgt. Olivia Castro observes to make sure everything goes safely. Maryland Army National Guard Soldiers from the 115th Military Police Battalion completed weapons qualification, conducted battle drills and sharpened their warrior skills during their two-week annual training July 10-24 at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa. In total, more than 200 Citizen Soldiers from units in Salisbury, Parkville and Catonsville, Md. traveled to the 18,000 acre National Guard training site in central Pennsylvania for this year’s annual training. Guardsmen from the 115th Military Police Battalion were among the first and most heavily called upon, having arrived at the Pentagon on Sept. 12 and subsequently served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay.
The European Commission, together with the Greek Presidency of the European Council, is organizing a launch conference for the new programming period of the European Social Fund.
Commissioner László Andor and Giannis Vroutsis, Greek Minister of Labour, open the conference on 6-7 February 2014 in Brussels.
When the main engines ignite at T-6 seconds, listen to the cacophony of camera shutters all around me. Beyond the cheering and clapping, the sheer density of cameras actuating around me was positively noisy.
Another oddity here is the fact that the audio from NASA TV was being piped over a PA behind me, which included launch sounds. Hence, there is "launch sound" that roughly coincides with the events seen in the video. The actual sound from the launch took over 30 seconds to get to us and was considerably more intense and complex than what got broadcast over the speakers.
This video was taken with my P&S camera just sitting on top of my backpack while I shot over it with my long lens. Hence the lack of level, framing, tracking, etc.

Democracy for Scotland: The Referendum Experience was launched at the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum on 27th April, 2012.
The exhibition was formally opened by MSP Linda Fabiani and the launch was attended by many of the interviewees who contributed their recollections of the 1979 and 1997 devolution campaigns to the Devolution Referendums Oral History Collection at the Scottish Political Archive
Democracy for Scotland focuses on the campaign for a Scottish Parliament in the second half of the twentieth century. In particular it chronicles the history behind the two devolution referendums of 1979 and 1997 and explores the nature of the Yes and No campaigns for both referendums, their results and the re-establishment of a Scottish Parliament.
The exhibition draws largely on the collections of the Scottish Political Archive (SPA). SPA is based at the University of Stirling and is dedicated to collecting oral and other material relating to the political history of Scotland in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The exhibition features referendum campaign materials including leaflets, pamphlets, posters and badges deriving from all the major political parties and umbrella groups. It also offers visitors the opportunity to hear the voices of politicians and campaigners discussing their experiences of the referendums of ’79 and ‘97, the intervening period and the establishment of a Scottish Parliament.
