I'd love to know where you're all coming from - has someone blogged this picture?
(in the last week maybe? I've had a much higher than usual number of views, favorites and comments!)

After wading through all the comments and feedback recieved, I have updated the wordless pancake recipe.
It's still a work in progress, but the visual language sytem is getting better every day!

Pre-launch test of the Mercury-Atlas 9 (MA-9) on Launch Pad 14 at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The planned launch of Gordon Cooper on the final mission of Project Mercury was scrubbed on May 14, 1963, due to problems with the mobile service tower and a tracking site. The launch was successful on the next day.

On December 4th 2016 Stagecoach South organised a pre-launch photoshoot of 10 Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC buses from a newly delivered fleet of 18 to the Aldershot depot.
They are for the Stagecoach Gold route 1 Aldershot-Farnborough-Camberley service and entered service the following day replacing 18 MAN and ADL single deckers.
The private event started at the Aldershot depot with pairs heading for the Farnborough College of Technology site early in the morning. After the photoshoot, the buses headed back to Aldershot via the Queens Avenue.
Here, 10764 SN66VYJ is seen on the Queens Avenue between Farnborough and Aldershot.
The Apollo 17 Space Vehicle sits poised beneath a full moon on Launch Pad 39A during launch countdown. Astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Commander; Ronald A. Evans, Command Module Pilot; and Dr. Harrison H. Jack Schmitt, Lunar Module Pilot, will be the crew for the sixth manned lunar landing mission.

ESA’s mission to the Sun has been unpacked following its arrival in Florida earlier this month, ready to begin pre-launch testing and checks.
The mission is currently scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral launch complex late in the evening of 5 February U.S. time (early morning 6 February central European time) on an unprecedented mission to study our star up-close.
An Antonov cargo plane transported the spacecraft and essential ground support equipment from Munich, Germany, to Florida, landing at the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Centre on 1 November. From there the satellite and equipment travelled by road to the AstroTech Space Operations facility. The first weeks were dedicated to setting up the equipment that will be needed to perform the upcoming checks and tests on the spacecraft. This will include repeated simplified tests of the spacecraft and science instruments so that the functioning of the various systems is confirmed as it was before the long flight, and checking of the propellant pressurisation system pressure before eventually fuelling the spacecraft.
This image shows Solar Orbiter shortly after leaving the shipment container (visible in the background) at the Astrotech facility.
In the new year attention will shift to mating the spacecraft with the launch adapter and encapsulating the spacecraft inside the fairing. In the final stages of preparation, the spacecraft will be mounted atop the Atlas V 411 rocket and moved to the launch pad ready for liftoff.
Once in space, and over the course of several years, the spacecraft will repeatedly use the gravity of Venus and Earth to raise its orbit above the poles of the Sun, providing new perspectives on our star, including the first images of the Sun’s polar regions. Its complementary suite of instruments means it will be able to study the plasma environment locally around the spacecraft and collect data from the Sun from afar, connecting the dots between the Sun’s activity and the space environment in the inner Solar System, which is essential to understand the effects of space weather at Earth.
Solar Orbiter is an ESA mission with strong NASA participation. The prime contractor is Airbus Defence and Space in Stevenage, UK. The mission will provide complementary datasets to NASA’s Parker Solar Probe that will allow more science to be distilled from the two missions than either could achieve on their own.

The crew of Soyuz MS-13 is officially approved for launch following the final pre-launch State Commission meeting and press conference in Baikonur, Kazakhstan.
All three crewmembers have trained extensively for their mission to the International Space Station. The State Commission meeting is the culmination of this training, where senior spaceflight officials review and certify crewmembers for flight.
ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano, NASA astronaut Drew Morgan and Roscosmos cosmonaut and Soyuz commander Alexander Skvortsov will be launched in their Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on Saturday 20 July. This date coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing and marks the start of Luca’s second space mission known as ‘Beyond’.
While in orbit, Luca will support over 50 European experiments and more than 200 international experiments. He is also expected to perform a number of spacewalks to repair the cooling systems of dark matter hunter, AMS-02.
More information about Luca’s Beyond mission is available on the blog. This will be updated throughout his mission, with updates also shared on Twitter via @esaspaceflight.

The Platinum converted B7RLEs are lined up at the depot ready to enter service tomorrow on the Platinum 12.
Not all will be ready in time for the service launch so other vehicle types will appear tomorrow.

The Titan booster is a two-stage liquid-fueled rocket, with two additional large, solid-propellant rockets attached. It is a member of the Titan family that was used in NASA's Gemini program. The Centaur is a liquid oxygen-liquid hydrogen, high- energy upper stage used on Surveyor flights to the Moon and on Mariner flights to Mars. At liftoff, the solid rockets provide 9.61 million newtons (2.16 million pounds) of thrust. When the solids burn out, the first stage of the Titan booster ignites, and followed by the second-stage ignition as the first stage shuts down. The Centaur ignites on second stage shutdown to inject the spacecraft into orbit. Then after a 30-minute coast around the Earth into position for re-start, the Centaur re-ignites to propel Viking on its Mars trajectory. Once this maneuver is completed the spacecraft separates from the Centaur, which subsequently is deflected away from the flight path to prevent its impact on the surface of Mars. Shortly after separating from the Centaur, the orbiter portion of the combined orbiter-lander spacecraft orients and stabilizes the spacecraft by using the Sun and a very bright star in the southern sky, Canopus, for celestial reference.

"CCMTA, Pad 5, ABMA / Pre-launch of Juno II, Lunar Probe / Photo by: Rogers"
A TOTALLY AWESOME photo - especially for 1958.
One of MANY MANY fantastic photos of various missiles/rockets during this time period by Mr. Rogers! When the photographs were actually attributed to the photographers on the verso. As a result, I'd like to think that his name, along with a few other Cape photographers of the time, are at least fading into oblivion a little less quickly. Like the numerous NASA & contractor artists, sad nonetheless.
Juno II vehicle (AM-11) boosted the 15-pound Pioneer 3 lunar probe from Cape Canaveral, Launch Complex 5 at 0044L (05:44:52 GMT ) hours, 6 December 1958. Most of the mission‘s objectives were accomplished, but the first stage burn ended 3.7 seconds early. Consequently, the probe did not reach the vicinity of the Moon as intended, but it managed to fly part of the way (e.g., 66,654 miles from Earth).
