Marsh driftwood and Florida shrubbery frame the liftoff phase of the Space Shuttle Endeavour as it begins the STS-69 mission. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39A occurred at 11:09:00:52 a.m. (EDT), September 7, 1995. The crew of five NASA astronauts was embarking on an 11-day multifaceted mission featuring two free-flying scientific research spacecraft, a spacewalk and a host of experiments in both the cargo bay and the middeck. Onboard were astronauts David M. Walker, Kenneth D. Cockrell, James S. Voss, James H. Newman and Michael L. Gernhardt.

SpaceX Launch From Vandenburg Space Force Base, California
Shot over New Mexico at 36,000 feet on flight from Houston to Salt Lake City. Booster has just seperated. Taken last year.
There's an intrinsic beauty to a superb black and white image that its color counterpart fails to rival. That is somewhat puzzling, because black and white photography is often considered an older technology.
I've begun experimenting with b&w landscape photography (although at one time I couldn't fathom why anyone would want to create such an image). This was shot at the Mark Twain Lake from the boat ramp just off of Highway 24 near Stoutsville, Missouri (which is located in Monroe County). Although appearing to be a panorama, it is actually a cropped image... I felt that the foreground in the original had far to much driftwood, which was distracting.

Today The Big Lemon launched its first solar powered electric bus. The bus which was once a standard diesel Optare Solo has been converted to run fully electric and is powered by solar panels located on the roof of the depot. The bus has been fully refurbished inside and is fitted with wifi. This is the first solar bus to arrive with the second shortly. The launch day consisted of a speech from all partners involved in the project followed by unveiling of a plaque then a tour of the city on the bus followed by a depot tour.
Beadnell bay harbour launch service.
1970s Fordsum tractor helps get your craft from the car park into the sea.
Beadnell is the only west facing bay on the north east coast of England and is very busy with every type of water sport. At low tide all 7 miles of the bay and beach and dunes can be walked south to dunstanburgh castle.
After 2 months without a launch, this was a beautiful early morning launch at 3:14 a.m. Sunday, the #SpaceX #CRS23 #Falcon9 sent a #CargoDragon capsule full of food, equipment, supplies and experiments to the Space Station. It was also the first booster to land on the new SpaceX automated droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas (ASOG).
A fawn launches for a quick run. They love to run at this age, but tire quickly. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Launches two ends of a cable in opposite directions and pulls the user along it using a motorized pulley; ideal for ziplining across vast horizontal gaps. Version 2.0 which I think matches its appearance in Arkham City much better.
The Space Shuttle Discovery soars skyward from Launch Pad 39B on Mission STS-64 at 6:22:35 p.m. EDT, September 9, 1994. On board were a crew of six: Commander Richard N. Richards; Pilot L. Blaine Hammond Jr.; and Mission Specialists Mark C. Lee, Carl J. Meade, Susan J. Helms and Dr. J.M. Linenger. Payloads for the flight included the Lidar InSpace Technology Experiment (LITE), the Shuttle Pointed Autonomous Research Tool for Astronomy 201 (SPARTAN201) and the Robot Operated Processing System (ROMPS).

A huge bulk freighter departs from the the Red Port. Its cargo is tonnes of Red Leicester. These massive blocks will be honed by skilled artisans into the correct shape and then included in @lego sets. Remember this the next time you find an extra 54200 1x1 slope in your bag of pieces!
NASA’s Space Launch System rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft launches on the Artemis I flight test, Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022, from Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s Artemis I mission is the first integrated flight test of the agency’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, and ground systems. SLS and Orion launched at 1:47 a.m. EST, from Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center.

XH558 takes to the air for what was likely the last time from RAF Fairford, and almost certainly the last time I will see her take off from anywhere. Bittersweet.
Space Shuttle Atlantis' STS-104 mission launched from Kennedy Space Center on July 12, 2001 to install the Quest Joint Airlock to the ISS. The Shuttle docked with the ISS on July 13 and performed maintenance to the station in addition to installing the airlock. The crew returned home on July 24, 2001.

A United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket with the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory onboard launches from Space Launch Complex 2, Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. SMAP is NASA’s first Earth-observing satellite designed to collect global observations of surface soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state. SMAP will provide high resolution global measurements of soil moisture from space. The data will be used to enhance scientists' understanding of the processes that link Earth's water, energy, and carbon cycles. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
The Space Shuttle Challenger lifted off from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39A on mission STS 41-B on February 3, 1984. Aboard the Challenger were astronauts Vance D. Brand, Robert L. Gibson, Ronald E. McNair, Bruce McCandless II, and Robert L. Stewart. The first untethered spacewalks with the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) were made on this mission. This dramatic air to air picture was taken by astronaut John Young who was monitoring the launch in the cockpit of NASA's Shuttle Training Aircraft.

I was able to capture one last photo of this Red-shouldered hawk perched on a power line just as it was about to launch into flight.
While I was not able to get photos of it taking off in flight - wrong setting on my camera - I'm really happy with this image as I think I captured its determination to launch and the power it had in its body to make that happen.
NASA's Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) launched on a Boeing Delta II rocket on July 3, 2002 from Cape Canaveral. The probe was lost after it ignited its solid rocket engine take it out of Earth's orbit and put it on a heliocentric trajectory. After the firing, no contact could be made with the probe. Telescopic surveys found three objects near the expected position of CONTOUR, leading scientists to believe that these objects were parts of the craft. CONTOUR was designed to make close fly-bys of at least two comet nuclei.
