Approximately 100 undergraduate university and community college students from across the United States were on hand to witness the launch of their experiments and technology demonstration projects on a NASA suborbital rocket Aug. 14, from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. The Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket launched as the sun was rising over the horizon and carried the student projects to an altitude of 98.5 miles. After a brief ride into space, the payload carrying the students’ projects descended by parachute and landed in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 64 miles from the launch site.

A "fish-eye" lens was used to afford this unique view of the Space Shuttle Endeavour as it lifts off from Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). Liftoff for STS-72 occurred at 4:41: a.m. (EST), January 11, 1996. Onboard the spacecraft were astronauts Brian Duffy, commander; Brent W. Jett, pilot; along with Daniel T. Barry, Leroy Chiao, Winston E. Scott and Koichi Wakata, all mission specialists.

The Christmas tree in the basement of 1 New Change stands like a fragmented ICBM ready for launch up through the middle of the spiral staircase. Right into Christmas? 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..
Another beautiful launch from Vandenburg. It was great because my wife was with me and saw it. She missed the last one. She also had her cell phone "tuned" to the live stream so there was no guessing about when.
Cheers.

"I said lunch, not launch!"
NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility supported the successful launch of three Terrier-Oriole suborbital rockets for the Department of Defense between 2:30 and 2:31 a.m. today, Feb. 24, from NASA’s launch range on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
The next launch from the Wallops Flight Facility is a NASA Terrier-Improved Malemute suborbital sounding rocket between 6 and 9 a.m. on March 27. The rocket will be carrying the Rocksat-X payload carrying university student developed experiments.

A 1000 HP Widebody M3 doing a launch at a Shift-S3ctor Airstrip Attack a few months back. Loved how this thing looked from the back! Check out my coverage over at Revvolution.com @ bit.ly/18ozBjN
This was my first close-up look at the Launching Pad, an isolated platform beyond the narrow peninsula that forms The Skywalk. This remnant of the ridge is only 15x20 yards in size, out there by itself about 70 yards from the end of the Skywalk. Four friends and I hiked out to the tip of The Skywalk on Oct 16, 2018, for the first time that has been documented as far as I know. On the Flickr map, I've indicated where the pad is, not the place I stood to photograph it. See the embedded notes for more information.
Having seen the Launching Pad from a distance, I wondered if it would be possible to reach it. My verdict: probably not, for the average hiker. You would have to descend one cliff about 100 feet down, then climb up the other side. A good mountaineer could probably do it. He or she would get a great 360° view for many miles in each direction, and could look down on the Three Wise Men on the far side of the pad.
Across the Paria Canyon 1.3 miles to the north, you can see The Thumb where I shot yesterday's panorama from Atlantis at its base, 4 days earlier.
The Skywalk is a terrific hike I highly recommend. It's mostly flat, easy walking, and just 2 miles from the parking area at the wilderness boundary near Twin White Domes. From the flat prairie where you park, you would never know such amazing vistas await you. I think this will become a popular hike soon; the parking area is just a couple of miles from White Pocket, and the whole round trip could be done in 2-3 hours. Energetic hikers with more time could take in multiple viewpoints from the rim of Forked Tongue Ridge, including Sky Pocket, East Tongue and the incredible West Tongue Viewpoint—I'll be posting another YouTube video of that hike soon. What a surprise that was!
These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
After we left my friend in Summerton we stayed with my friends in Surrey. They took us down to their holiday home in West Wittering where we took some trips around the area.
This is Portsmouth where we spent a few hours walking around the harbour area on a cold windy day in November.
HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, ordered in 1758, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She is best known for her role as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. Wikipedia
Portsmouth is a port city and naval base on England’s south coast, mostly spread across Portsea Island. It’s known for its maritime heritage and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. The dockyard is home to the interactive National Museum of the Royal Navy, the wooden warship HMS Victory, where Nelson died in the Battle of Trafalgar, and HMS Warrior 1860. The Tudor ship Mary Rose is also conserved in a dockyard museum.― Google
Last night I was out on the Alvord Desert Playa and this happened. It lasted several minutes.

Rocket & Launch area made for the display "Space Panic" at the french convention Brick à Dole 2017.
Rocket in the spirit of "Neo Classic Space"
A display on the theme of space without rocket is not a real space display ^^
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!
A close-up camera view shows Space Shuttle Columbia as it lifts off from Launch Pad 39A on mission STS-107. Following a flawless and uneventful countdown, liftoff occurred on-time at 10:39 a.m. EST. The 16-day research mission included FREESTAR (Fast Reaction Experiments Enabling Science, Technology, Applications and Research) and the SHI Research Double Module (SHI/RDM), known as SPACEHAB. Experiments on the module ranged from material sciences to life sciences. Landing of Columbia was scheduled for Saturday, February 1, but due to damage to the thermal protection system Columbia was destroyed and the crew was lost on reentry.
The mission was the first Shuttle mission of 2003, the 28th and final flight of the orbiter Columbia and the 113th flight overall in NASA's Space Shuttle program.

A teaser I made for an upcoming roleplay on the Lego Message Boards. I've actually made teasers for this in the past, but this is the first time I've made one in awhile.
Anyway, this build depicts an explorer about to launch out into a nearly infinite galaxy to seek his destiny. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, to be honest, even if it was an absolute pain to render.
Give God the Glory!

We had a terrific and very fun launch evening for Justin Davies, and his wonderful new children's novel, Haarville. We had a lot of very happy young readers in attendance who enjoyed the evening, plus a special cake too (what event is not improved by adding cake???). Justin also told the audience about some of his inspirations, including how some of the small coastal towns around Fife influenced his descriptions of his imaginary town, Haarville. You can follow Justin on his Twitter - twitter.com/flyingscribbler
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.
The Gemini VII spacecraft, carrying astronauts Frank Borman, command pilot, and James A. Lovell Jr., pilot, was successfully launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration from Pad 19 at Cape Canaveral, FL.

Making the most of a warm evening at Godrevy, not too much wind - but enough for this family to get their stunt kite up without too much work.
Just launched 2 Cubesats from the International Space Station for research
