NASA’s mega-Moon rocket with Orion and the European Service Module inside on the launchpad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.

While the rocket will propel Orion to supersonic speeds, the rocket itself is moved slowly but securely to the launchpad.

The Space Launch Systems rocket (SLS), with Orion atop it, left the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center at around 23:00 CET (22:00 GMT) on 17 March 2022 to begin its 6.5 km trip to Launchpad LC39B.

The first Artemis mission will send Orion to the Moon and back, farther than any human-rated spacecraft has travelled before. ESA’s European Service Module is the powerhouse that fuels and propels Orion and provides everything needed to keep astronauts alive, including water, oxygen, power and temperature control.

At 100 m tall, the SLS rocket is roughly the height of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) in London, UK, or 16 giraffes stacked on top of each other. If you laid the rocket on the ground, it would take over a minute to walk from the engines to the tip of the launch abort system.

Denver Botanical Gardens walk bout for the Christmas 🎄 Lights when we came up to this section - it a reflection off the water of the Christmas 🎄 lights - I had to back up for a closer look - at first it looked like a lit hole.

It's my birthday today, celebrate along with me! Hope you like these gorgeous geranium buds,

I loved the little "star" seed that floated by & attached itself to the little hairs of the buds!

(Best on black)

This tree really caught my eye. I've seen plenty of trees with lights strung throughout, but I can't recall seeing one before that literally had every little branch lit up.

Happy New Year and thanks for looking!

The lighting for this picture is purely accidental. Many times accidents prove to yield welcome results. This is just like one. The spider was resting on the roof and I tried to shoot with the built-in

flash of the camera. The flash was very close to the roof, the light was bounced and the spider was

totally back-lit ending in this beautiful result. I like it and hope you like it too !!!

Happy weekend to all of you, friends !!! Take time to appreciate nature !!!

Sunset over the lagoon of Lord Howe Island, Australia. All the sunsets were like this the week we were there. You can see the waves from the ocean breaking on the outer edge of the lagoon, just below the horizon.
