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

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.

Today at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the mobile launcher is on its way to Launch Complex 39B. Once there, it will undergo testing ahead of the first #Artemis mission. The mobile launcher is the ground structure that will be used to assemble, process and launch NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft from Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for missions to deep space destinations, such as the Moon, Mars and beyond.

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.

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)
Was hoping to get some shots of the Endeavour launch, but they kept delaying it.... so instead, I got this!!
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.

Stagecoach Western officially launched their 27 new ADL E400 MMC's to the public on the 5th January at the Irvine Maratime Museum. Here 4 are lined up as part of an official photoshoot.
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.

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.

Extra day in FebRovery? Time for an extra rover!
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.

This is a view from the Titanic building to the docks where the ill fated Titanic was launched in 1911.
The photo is a blend of 7 shots using Lightroom Enfuse. The blend allowed me to capture much more detail, particularly in the shadows within the water reflections .
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.

No details given for this mini diorama seem at Model Mania, Locomotion, Shildon.
Very well modelled though.
