Starship launch tower taken from the beach access at Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas. It's the world's tallest rocket launch tower at 480 feet. The tower is designed to support the launch, vehicle integration, and catch of the Super Heavy rocket booster.
Double-crested Cormorant taking off from a salt marsh near Mountain View, Ca this morning.
This is probably my favorite bird in the SF Bay Area; it is a powerful swimmer, it's reflective eyes assist with hunting prey down along the bottom, and the distance it travels underwater and the time it stays down is quite impressive. This morning I caught the Pelicans waiting for the Cormorants to stir things up, and then feed up on the surface.

My wife took this picture on my sons's birthday party. I think, it was a perfect moment.
I have taken some nice pictures on my son's birthday party, but I don't want to publish pictures of other people's kids.
The rocket is launched electrically and can be used several times. The solid-fuel engine can be replaced and will carry the rocket 250m high. Then thecapsule will separate and the body will descend on a little parachute. The capsule comes down on a long red ribbon. It is real fun and the kids like to count down (the whole village could hear that, I think). We didn't have enough solid-fuel engins for everybody to press the start button, but that didn't really matter.

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.

Golden slippers leave silver trails of water as the Snowy Egret launches into the air. This egret worked down the bank coming to me as I waited for the Pelicans. When it got close and saw me, it took off across the water leaving me with ripples where it stood a moment ago.

A microscale rocket launch facility for Decisive Action on MOCpages. Like it at www.mocpages.com/moc.php/363320 and help me rule the world! MwaHaHaHa *cough* Thankyou.
Hope everyone is having a good summer (or winter - whatever the case might be). My apologies for not commenting on your photos - I'll have little time the next few days so I'll have to catch up on commenting on your images later.
I think this might be a spittlebug or froghopper. However they are supposed to lay eggs on host plants the larva will eat. This one seemed to be launching eggs one at a time out the rear and over the side of the leaf. I tried to catch a few in my hand to look at them but they were too small to see, except while in motion.
Id help appreciated.

Attended the launch of Couture Chapeau presents "Trapeze"
The creator has set out for 1L a trapeze suit and hat (Im in my giant so I can resize the hat)
"Mystical, balletic and playful, 'Trapeze' is a twist on a collection I did in 2009 inspired by Dale Chihuly's glass sculptures.
The twist, however, is that 'Trapeze' now focuses on the mannequins used to display the hats. It highlights the precariousness, drama and art of trapeze dancers and their dangerous feats of grace. "
NASA has announced the winners of the 2016 NASA Student Launch challenge, held April 13-16 near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Vanderbilt University of Nashville, Tennessee, won first place and took home the top prize of $5,000, offered by Orbital ATK, of Promontory, Utah, longtime corporate sponsor of the challenge.
The University of Louisville, in Kentucky, won second place, and Cornell University of Ithaca, New York, placed third. The Rookie of the Year award was presented to the University of Cincinnati in Ohio.
Nearly 50 middle and high school, college and university teams from 22 states demonstrated advanced aerospace and engineering skills related to real-world activities and programs on NASA’s journey to Mars. Teams spent eight months building and testing rockets designed to fly to an altitude of one mile, deploy an automated parachute system, and land safe enough for reuse, while some teams also designed scientific payloads for data collection during flight.

Night launches are always amazing.
This is the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery on STS-116 as seen from near the top of Tampa Bay.
Even though I missed the first few seconds of the launch while I was trying to get my camera aimed properly, I'm very happy with how this came out. There were some thin clouds, which is why it's segmented like it is.
I think it looks better on black.
This was one of the most interesting photos of December 9th, 2006.
Morning launch of a Falcon 9 rocket. The view is somewhat in to the sun in the morning, so the flame is not nearly as distinct as it is for afternoon launches. Still pretty cool... if you know what it is you're seeing!

Tinsel TV characters with some of the city centre policing team.
Greater Manchester Police has launched its Christmas campaign today as part of ‘GMP Christmas’, tackling crime and protecting vulnerable people over the festive period.
This year’s online Advent campaign sees a festive cast take over usual TV programming with the launch of Tinsel TV. A new video will be released every day from 1 December, which sees Rudolph, Snowman and a Big Bad Wolf join Santa and his helpers as they host a series of TV programmes with crime prevention advice for the residents of Greater Manchester.
GMP is encouraging people to think about how they might keep themselves safe, and to consider what their present to, or presence within, their community, family or friendships might be.
At the same time, the campaign will showcase the promises that GMP makes to the public at Christmas and all year round, using a mixture of law enforcement and public engagement to protect the local communities.
Operationally, high-visibility patrols will be in place across the region to detect and deter criminal activity, as well as providing reassurance and assistance. There will also be 12 high-profile days of action which will tackle the traditional spike in crime usually seen during this time of year.
Purse bells and other crime prevention tools will be handed out to shoppers in town centres to keep thieves at bay, and police are also maintaining a strong presence around car parks to help prevent items being stolen from vehicles.
The Christmas drink and drug drive operation, which also starts today (1 December 2015), will continue throughout the month and officers will be testing motorists around the clock and reinforcing the ‘none for the road’ message.
In addition, officers and cadets will be delivering hampers to the elderly and those in need, and the public will be given a live insight into the world of policing on one of the busiest days of the year – Mad Friday.
Assistant Chief Constable John O’Hare said:
“This time of year is a busy one for the force and our colleagues across the emergency services, and we have been thoroughly preparing for the festive period.
“Our top priority is making sure that the people of Greater Manchester enjoy Christmas in the safest possible manner.
“It can be a very busy time of year, but we are asking the public to take some time to have a think about what their Christmas present might be to their community or family. Whether you promise to visit an elderly relative or neighbour, or volunteer to be the designated driver for friends on a night out, we can all do our part to keep ourselves and others safe this season.
“This Christmas, GMP will be present to tackle criminals and protect the people of Greater Manchester. We hope our neighbourhoods can embrace the spirit of community this Christmas and share their presence, too.”
Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said:
“Christmas brings out the best in Greater Manchester people – the majority of whom are generous and warm-hearted. I hope people will tap into that festive community spirit and look out for older friends and neighbours who perhaps need a little help and company this year.
“There will always be those who want to spoil the party for everyone, so please take care of yourself and your friends when you’re out enjoying yourselves, and make sure everyone gets home safe and sound.”
People can post their Christmas promises online using one of the GMP templates, available at www.gmp.police.uk.
People can also visit the website to check out the daily videos giving seasonal crime prevention advice, or follow #GMPChristmas on social media for the latest police activity throughout December.
