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.

We woke up at 5am two mornings in a row to watch the hot air balloons launch into the sky. The first day was a bust, I think the winds were too high and the launch was cancelled. Luckily, the second day the hot air balloons were given the green light to set sail. It was great being able to walk up close to all the hot air balloons as they were being set up...sometimes I got close enough to feel the blast of the flame giving the hot air to the balloons.

A Discus Launch Glider (DLG) is a radio controlled model sailplane launched using a 'discus launch' in which the glider is held by a wingtip and rotated around the flyer by hand before release. Using this method of launching the average flier can achieve launch heights of greater than 140 feet (43 m), with the better throwers exceeding 200-foot (61 m) high launches.
The discus method of hand launching has now in effect replaced the older 'javelin style' launch, where a hand launched model glider would be launched over-arm, like a javelin would be thrown. The discus launch is far easier, more efficient and less physically demanding than the javelin launch.
Although some DLG designs utilise a traditional built-up construction using balsa wood and covering film, most DLG models are generally now constructed from composite materials, in the form of Kevlar, carbon fibre and glass fibre. Fuselages are moulded in Kevlar/carbon and epoxy, with wings either moulded as a hollow composite shell, or vacuum bagged over a wire-cut foam core.
Most DLG models use aileron, rudder and elevator control, with the ailerons also being used as camber changing flaps for different modes of flight and also as airbrakes for landing. A modern DLG model weighs approximately 9 or 10 ounces (255-283 grams) and has sophisticated aerodynamics. Many pilots use computer radio transmitters with full mixing and flight mode capabilities in order to optimise performance and set up the models for flight as near perfectly as possible.
DLG models are used for both general fun/sport flying and also for contest flying.

Returned back to where I did my flight training in 2011...and that also means I'm able to watch rocket launches many times. Since I was a children, I used to read encyclopedias and I always focused on the section of space travel and astronomy. I simply love spaceships.
When I did my flight training, I was able to see the last two Space Shuttle launches ever (the last one was STS-134 I believe...) and 5 years later, I'm here watching more spacecraft launches :)
Hope I get some good weather for upcoming launches...There is one scheduled at sunset!!!
After launching from the ramp this radio controlled car flew about 10-15 feet into the air and touched down about 30-40 feet from the ramp. It landed on all its wheels and he proceeded to steer it back downfield so he could repeat the process. See the description of Sergio, two photos before this one.
I liked the shadow cast on the ground at 4 o'clock from the ramp. These were shot at sunset.

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 Rubberboot Missie (Inflatable Boat Mission) is an annual event in the city of Utrecht, The Netherlands. Known as the biggest inflatable boat event in the country the mission has become something for many ‘sailors’ to look forward to a day of fun and relaxation in the canals of Utrecht. In a few years time the Rubberboot Missie managed to grow from 40 to as many as a 1000 participants.

View from the gantry at Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
What we're seeing is launch pad 39A, where space shuttle Atlantis was launched two days earlier. This was the launch pad used by all the manned Apollo-Saturn V launches, except for Apollo 10. After the launching of Skylab in 1973, 39A was rebuilt for the Space Shuttle program.
The first 24 space shuttle flights were launched from pad 39A. Then 39B took over, until it was deactivated in January 2007. All space shuttles since then (and those remaining before the space shuttle program is retired) have been launched from pad 39A.
The future of pad 39A is that it will be the primary launch pad for the Ares V rocket from 2018 and so it will continue the tradition from the Apollo days and be the pad where future astronauts, destined for the moon, will wave their goodbyes.
