Steel Wheel Tractor Pulling, not a sport for the timid. Snap the clutch in, find something substantial to hang on to, and go. Probably could be added to an OSHA "don't try this at home" page.
Preparing to launch a weather balloon to support some research in atmospheric liquid water profiling. A microwave radiometer, not shown, is also part of this research.

The legendary United Launch Alliance Atlas V, flying in the 551 configuration, fires into the sunset sky carrying the AFSPC-11 payload for the United States Air Force. AFSPC-11 consists of CBAS (Continuous Broadcast Augmenting SATCOM) and EAGLE (ESPA Augmented GEO Laboratory Experiment). CBAS is a military communications satellite dedicated to senior leaders of the military and combatant commanders, while EAGLE is a experimental testbed that can host or deploy as many as six separate payloads. The Atlas V begun its mission from Space Launch Complex 41 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
One of a group of Mourning Doves (Zenaidúra macroúra) launches from Spanish tile in southeastern Albuquerque.
A twilight launch of a Minotaur rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base. Picture taken from the roof of my condominium complex in Sherman Oaks, CA. The rocket carried the DARPA Streak satellite into a polar orbit. Because the launch was at twilight, the rocket was high enough to be in sunlight, while we on the ground were in darkness. Thus we were treated to a show of noctilucent clouds from the rocket's exhaust trail.

We are often very lucky, we'll be somewhere and something interesting happens!
Her in Ostend, it was the launch of a Rib.
The RIB= Rigid Inflatable Boat.
Renowned for its outstanding performance and high-speed precision manoeuvrability, the RIB= Rigid Inflatable Boat.
Built to a high strength and durability.
A fuel-efficient, high-speed hull design creates for immense handling and control making this a true offshore rib capable of safely performing in rough and unpredictable sea states.
The rib has been the favoured choice of thousands of commercial and recreational users such as emergency services, search and Rescue and RYA training and sailing clubs and diving for a long time.
Thank for all your words, time, comments and faves.
Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

Hit RiverFront Park this afternoon and found a group of Combat Engineers from the 459th MRB, U.S.A.R. training with their launch and recovery vehicles and riverboats.
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!
Two launchers on one board can make for easier storage.
When launching, it may be better to put the bottles on opposite sides of the board. This will help keep students away from each other.

"The Talus MB-764 is a four-wheel drive launch tractor which was specifically designed for the RNLI, to launch and recover inflatable inshore lifeboats from beach and shore based launched lifeboat stations. The Tractor is produced by the British company of Clayton Engineering Limited who are based in Knighton, Powys."
Was lucky enough just by chance to see the lifeboat launch so went for a bit of selective colouring. Thanks for all your comments and faves below another shot from Cromer taken last year.

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft will travel to a metal-rich asteroid by the same name orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter to study it’s composition. The spacecraft also carries the agency's Deep Space Optical Communications technology demonstration, which will test laser communications beyond the Moon. Photo Credit: (NASA/Aubrey Gemignani)
