Almost a year after this day, seeing this photo still gives me the chills

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.

The United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas-V rocket with the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) spacecraft onboard is seen as it launches on Monday, Feb. 11, 2013 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) mission is a collaboration between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey that will continue the Landsat Program's 40-year data record of monitoring the Earth's landscapes from space.

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 66th Space Shuttle flight begins with a nearly ontime liftoff of Space Shuttle Mission STS-66 into clear Florida skies. The orbiter Atlantis returned to space after an approximately two year absence with a liftoff from Launch Pad 39B at 11:59:43 a.m. EST, about four minutes after the launch window opened. The planned 11 day flight will continue NASA's Mission to Planet Earth, a comprehensive international collaboration to study how Earth's environment is changing and how human beings affect that change. Primary payloads for the last Shuttle flight of 1994 include the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS-3), making its third flight, and the German built Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere Shuttle Pallet Satellite (CRISTA-SPAS), which will be deployed and later retrieved during the mission. Mission commander is Donald R. McMonagle; Curtis L. Brown Jr. is the pilot; Ellen Ochoa is the payload commander, and the three mission specialists are Joseph R. Tanner, Scott E. Parazynski, and Jean-Francois Clervoy, a French citizen who is with the European Space Agency.

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.

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.
