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!
The Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft was launched from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 23 November 2014 with ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti and her crewmates to the weightless research centre where they will live and work for five months.

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 SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches with NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) spacecraft onboard from Launch Complex 39A, Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The IXPE spacecraft is the first satellite dedicated to measuring the polarization of X-rays from a variety of cosmic sources, such as black holes and neutron stars. Launch occurred at 1:00 a.m. EST.

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.

Kepler, a NASA mission to search for Earth-like planets, was successfully launched at 10:49:57.465 p.m. EST on March 6, 2009.
The Kepler instrument is a 1 metre aperture telescope that will monitor the brightness of over 100 000 stars continuously for at least 3.5 years. The science team is looking for repeated drops in the brightness of a star caused by an Earth-like planet transit.
I've identified some of the stars visible (down to 7th magnitude!). tau Boo is known to host a Jupiter-like planet.
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!
The NASA InSight spacecraft launches onboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas-V rocket, Saturday, May 5, 2018, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

On February 17 at 5:45pm JST this H-IIA rocket blasted skyward from JAXA's Tanegashima Space Center located off the southern coast of Japan, planet Earth. Onboard was the ASTRO-H X-ray astronomy satellite, now in orbit. Designed to explore the extreme cosmos from black holes to massive galaxy clusters, the satellite observatory is equipped with four cutting-edge X-ray telescopes and instruments sensitive to photon energies from 300 to 600,000 electron volts. By comparison, visible light photon energies are 2 to 3 electron volts. Following a tradition of renaming satellites after their successful launch, ASTRO-H has been newly dubbed "Hitomi", inspired by an ancient legend of dragons. Hitomi means "the pupil of the eye". via NASA ift.tt/1Qo1pqI

Her she goes...
Traditional ship launching on wooden ramp greased with fat of sheep... It was really spectacular, the sound of hammers on the kedges to get her going, building op the tension of the thousands who had come to Marstal to see this wonderful rebuilt ship touching the water again.

These little chaps cant wait to get the breeding thing going. Why wait for Spring anyway? They are nearly in full breeding plumage and we are only half way through winter.
This nest is outside an upstairs window and I had to take the burglar bars off it one night and set up my hide when he wasnt around to notice.
The eagles tolerated pestering from five crows for a few minutes but finally had it and left.
