The "Aggregat 4" missile, better known as the V2 rocket (V2 = Vergeltungswaffe 2 = Vengeance Weapon 2) was the first long-range guided ballistic missile.
During testing in Peenemünde it was also the first vehicle reaching outer space by flying above the Kármán line (defined by the FAI at 100 km altitude) with the vertical test launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944 reaching an apogee of 176 km. Actual launch location was a tiny island named Greifswalder Oie.
This one here is actually just a replica standing in the Historisch-Technisches Museum Peenemünde (Historical Technical Museum Peenemünde).

This photo was taken within a minute of the last one posted, but was looking in the opposite direction. Baby Missiles by War on Drugs, is a great description for the short sharp showers that rained down.

Seen arriving at Goathland with a 'Dining Train' heading back to Grosmont. The odd-looking structure on top of the moor is RAF Fylingdales which provides a ballistic missile early warning service to the UK and US Governments, using a radar that can track objects in space.
Comet Neowise Flow Through Golden Gate Bridge
To link Comet Neowise with the most famous icon in San Francisco - Golden Gate Bridge is one of shooting plans I had since Comet Neowise became so popular among the photographers.
I used PlanIt app to make up at least 6 shooting plans around the bay area, and this is the most-wanted. However, this time of year, San Francisco has been always sunk in fogs, so I missed all chances to link it with GGB during sunrise time. Luckily I was able to capture it at the only clear night during the sunset time. This is one time shot with one exposure only.
Again, here is the tmelapse taken during the night, the only night was clear in Golden Gate Bridge area:
The US Navy ships in the photo are guided missile destroyers: the USS William P. Lawrence on the right and the USS Dewey on the left. Naval vessels from around the world came to Portland, Oregon for the Rose Festival. They were docked along the Tom McCall Waterfront Park for 4 days, June 6-10, 2012.

Those were the days. Summer holidays from school, 15 minute cycle ride upto the fence (such as there was, no ten mile high security fence then!) to watch the two resident Phantom squadrons at work, and in those days they had the budget, and the motivation, given it was the cold war to fly a fair bit as well. The taxiway from the Northern HAS complex where 74 Sqn were housed was barely a few feet from the fence where we used to hang out, so close in fact that there was a warning about the jet wash that would sweep over you as they taxied past. This was shot late in the afternoon on a old 35mm Olympus OM10 as a print and has been scanned in so the quality isn't quite there.
Sometimes it's easier to recycle parts of builds then to sort and build again. This is made from pieces of this www.flickr.com/photos/53458657@N04/16046012354/in/datepos... and this www.flickr.com/photos/53458657@N04/22816941765/in/datepos... plus a little spinkle of creativity.
Edit: (afterthoughts)... Warning ....mech head will explode with missiles when threatened and will literally fire its face off at you.
Ukraine needs missiles.
Russia is using missiles on Ukrainian cities. Last weekend, Odesa was hit with a missile attack that killed a 3 month old baby. Russia is trying to erase Ukraine from the world, and it is using missiles to do it. Russian missiles being used last weekend, which was Orthodox Easter, had the words "Christ is Risen" written on them. Ukraine needs to fight back. They need missile defense systems. They also need missiles to attack the Orcs invading their country. It was a Ukrainian missile that took down the Moskva.
This is a Nike missile at Sandy Hook National Recreation Area. Sandy Hook and the surrounding area in Monmouth County, New Jersey, was home to many of these missiles. They are obsolete and have all been decommissioned.
With the shift from the north to the east, the geography of the battle has changed. The tactics that worked brilliantly in the Battle of Kyiv won't work in the Battle of Donbas. Ukraine needs heavy weaponry; tanks, armored personnel carriers, missile defense systems, and missiles. Ukraine is starting to get some of what they need, but they need more. You can contact your representatives and ask them to support increased military aid to Ukraine. Also, the National Bank of Ukraine has set up a special account that you can send money to to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. You can find that at bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-spetsra...
BNSF 8260 blasts by the crossovers at Minneola on the Needles Subdivision, with high priority Intermodal heading east. Minneola on the BNSF is slighty different than the on the Union Pacific as the crossovers on the BNSF location, has more than triple the amount of trains going over the frogs and at a much higher rate of speed.
