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.

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.
For those of you who have followed my photostream, you have seen "Stretch" before. He was a wild migratory "tundra" Peregrine Falcon that I studied and documented for 3 years. I was on the beach 80' below when I captured this shot of him launching from the cliff top. Stretch passed away February 2007. This image is posted as shot, except for using Noiseware to selectively eliminate Noise from the sky. This was shot with my 1st digital camera, a Nikon D70 with a Nikkor AF 80-400mm f5.6 lens. "Stretch" is just how you see him, in his prime as a "tiercel" and magnificent Peregrine Falcon. Explored 257 April 18
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.
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.

Main launch bunker for the three Athena Missile launch pads on the Green River Launch Complex approximately five miles from the entrance to the site. This launch bunker and 3 concrete launching pads each with a rail-movable temperature-controlled steel building make up the main part of the Athena launch portion of the huge (3,450 acre) missile base.
Green River Pad 1 51 launches ??
Green River Pad 2 41 launches February 10, 1964 – September 25, 1969.
Green River Pad 3 49 launches November 28, 1964 – September 17, 1971.

Extra day in FebRovery? Time for an extra rover!
Was hoping to get some shots of the Endeavour launch, but they kept delaying it.... so instead, I got this!!

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.

These now dormant rails were once used to launch boats into the resevoir. Today they serve as a nice lead into the picture.
On July 26, 2005, Space Shuttle Discovery’s STS-114 mission launched on the first Return to Flight mission since the loss of Space Shuttle Columbia on February 1, 2003. The years between the Columbia tragedy and the flight of Discovery were spent researching and implementing new safety improvements, including a redesigned external tank, new sensors, and a boom that allowed the astronauts to inspect the Shuttle for any damage. The crew’s objectives were to test and evaluate these new safety procedures in addition to conducting maintenance on the International Space Station. The crew also performed the first ever on-orbit repair of the heat shield of a Shuttle. The mission ended on August 9, 2005 when Discovery landed at Edwards Air Force Base.

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.

More launch pics: SpaceX photographer Ashish Sharma's images are always great, from spacesuit portraits to rocket launches!
Ces flammes sont la raison pour laquelle un décollage de fusée, ça se regarde plutôt DE LOIN… ou alors, il vaut mieux être à l’autre bout de l’engin Superbe photo (comme d’habitude) d’Ashish Sharma.

No details given for this mini diorama seem at Model Mania, Locomotion, Shildon.
Very well modelled though.
The Space Shuttle Columbia is launched from Pad 39B on a ten-day mission with a crew of five NASA Astronauts and a Canadian Payload Specialist. The Photograph was taken by astronaut Steven R. Nagel from a Shuttle Training Aircraft. Mission STS-52 payloads onboard include the Laser Geodynamic Satellite II.

Description: KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - NASA's Lunar Prospector spacecraft launched successfully on its way to the Moon from Launch Complex 46 (LC46) at Cape Canaveral Air Station on January 6, 1998, at 9:38 p.m. EST. It was the inaugural launch of Lockheed Martin's Athena II launch vehicle and the first launch from LC46, operated by Spaceport Florida Authority. Lunar Prospector, built for the NASA Ames Research Center by Lockheed Martin, was a spin-stabilized spacecraft designed to provide NASA with the first global maps of the Moon's surface and its gravitational magnetic fields, as well as look for the possible presence of ice near the lunar poles. Results published later in 1998 confirmed large quantities of ice at both lunar poles.

I've run out of pieces again, but the launch base dimensions and frame is looking better and is getting a lot stronger.
The adventures I had with friends from alpha to closing are my favorite memories of LEGO Universe. We explored every world, discovered every unreleased fragment, and completed every achievement. This vignette depicts two friends on an adventure at the monument on launch day.
Watched a beautiful night launch of the Russian Progress-MS10 cargo vehicle while #ISS was flying right above Baikonur. Destination: us at the International Space Station.
Konnten einen beeindruckenden Nachtstart des Russischen Raumtransporters Progress-MS10 beobachten als wir direkt über Baikonur hinwegzogen (siehe 2. Bild links unten, danach rechts oben). Ziel: wir ISS. Letztes Foto zeigt Wiedereintritt der 1. Stufe

Full Description:The Space Shuttle Columbia on Pad 39A during the picture-perfect ascent of sister ship Discovery after lift off of STS-31. This was the first time since January 1986 that there was a Shuttle on each pad, which are separated by 1.6 miles. Discovery, carrying a five-member crew and the Hubble Space Telescope, lifted off at 8:34 a.m. EDT, April 24. Columbia, with its Astro-1 observatory, was scheduled for launch in May.
