A break for Art Day! I actually did this painting back in September of 2017.
Have to say, I grew up going down to the Cape and seeing launches when Dad was working for NASA, his entire career, and all my growing up. I wish I had it to do over and would be more aware!

Launch of ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot to the International Space Station (ISS) on Crew-12. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, no earlier than Friday 13 February 2026 at 10:15 GMT/11:15 CET (5:15 local time). Sophie flies as Mission Specialist 1 on the Dragon spacecraft. The other Crew-12 members are NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, respectively commander and pilot of the mission, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev, Mission Specialist 2. The French ESA astronaut is the first of her class, the Hoppers, to fly. Only two years and ten months separate the start of her astronaut training from the launch of her first long-duration mission – a record! Sophie has chosen the name εpsilon for her mission, which may last up to nine months. On board the Station, she will conduct a wide range of tasks, including European-led scientific experiments and medical research, support Earth observation activities, and contribute to operations and maintenance on the Station.

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 SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches with the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) spacecraft onboard, Friday, Dec. 16, 2022, from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Jointly developed by NASA and Centre National D'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), with contributions from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and United Kingdom Space Agency, SWOT is the first satellite mission that will observe nearly all water on Earth’s surface, measuring the height of water in the planet’s lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and the ocean.

This is a real launch control bunker where nuclear tipped missiles would have been launched from the USA against an attacking enemy.
Fortunately it's now disused and a visitor attraction at the Titan Missile Museum, deep underground and behind several blast doors, not far from Tucson, Arizona.
Visitors are shown round the complex by staff and are shown the launch control center and also a missile sitting in the silo. On the panel in front of the man in the black and blue t-shirt is one of the two keys that would be turned to send the unstoppable missile on it's way.
A docent is explaining what the visitors are seeing.

A golden new era in space cooperation begins with a flawless countdown and the ontime liftoff of the Space Shuttle Discovery on Mission STS-60. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39A occurred at 7:10:01 a.m., EST. The first Shuttle mission of 1994 carries the first Russian cosmonaut, Sergei K. Krikalev, to fly on the Space Shuttle. The veteran space traveler joins astronauts N. Jan Davis and Ronald M. Sega, mission specialists; Franklin R. Chang-Diaz, payload commander: Kenneth S. Reightler, pilot; and Charles F. Bolden Jr., mission commander, on an eight day journey. Primary payloads of the 60th Space Shuttle flight are the SPACEHAB-2 laboratory and the Wake Shield Facility.

The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) is a collaboration between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey that will continue the Landsat Program's 40-year data record of monitoring Earth's landscapes from space. LDCM will expand and improve on that record with observations that advance a wide range of Earth sciences and contribute to the management of agriculture, water and forest resources.
The Landsat Program is a series of Earth-observing satellite missions jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey. The first Landsat satellite launched in 1972 and the next satellite in the series, the Landsat Data Continuity Mission – LDCM, is scheduled to launch on February 11, 2013.
LDCM will launch from Vandenburg Air Force Base using an Atlas V-401 rocket from ULA.

Managers have given the "go" to proceed toward a Feb.11 launch of NASA's Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) spacecraft atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) is the future of Landsat satellites. It will continue to obtain valuable data and imagery to be used in agriculture, education, business, science, and government.
The mission will extend more than 40 years of global land observations that are critical in many areas, such as energy and water management, forest monitoring, human and environmental health, urban planning, disaster recovery and agriculture.

The Oceanic Space Research Agency was founded in 1981 as an international endeavor to advance scientific knowledge throughout the region, because space is cool. In this photo taken from a chaser plane, a modified TB-41L launches Oceania's first satellite while flying over the Lamar Desert of central Alamo.
It's technically just a combination of my last bomber and a missile from the Buk-ii system that got tuned seven ways to Sunday. Nevertheless, I think this render turned out really cool.
We did something really big today! Really big! Donuts are in order!
Check out Flickr's new and totally awesome iPhone App! And there's more stuff coming today, too!

This was my first real attempt at catching a launch. I had watched one from this location without a camera or phone before, and that one went north. Since then, they have all gone south. So this one was a real experiment for me. I wasn’t sure where to focus, so I focused on infinity figuring that would get the rocket in focus. That was stupid because I focused on the moving object for a long exposure and then everything else was a little soft. Lesson learned there.
I also learned that a 30 second exposure was too short. For more recent shots I’m in bulb mode, and I add a little ND filter to compensate.
Overall though, I was really happy with this one! I considered it a good first attempt
