Maybe the last usable shot from my day trip to see a shuttle launch. I might have gotten carried away on the color enhancement for the sky, but it felt right at the time.
This is, I believe, an Atlas rocket with an Agena package on top of it, for putting satellites up during the Mercury program era.
To the left, just above the palm/palmetto tree, is the top of an Atlas rocket with a Mercury capsule on it.
This rocket is a weird mishmash of Dragon, Orion, and the SLS. Also, I got some space type lighting here but the docking ring rendered funny and my black background didn't happen.
I was lost and looking for inspiration, so I decided to base Day 15 entirely on AWESOME
(I accept no responsibility for your lack of ability to agree with me, or my subsequent bird-flipping)
L-3: Our Soyuz rocket with the spacecraft inside is rolled out to the launchpad. The system to keep it upright is ingeniously simple. By using counterweights the rocket is held upright but the slightest force (such as liftoff) pushes the supports out of the way, no complicated electronics required! Did you ever wonder how a launch time is recorded? Easy, the rocket is standing on a large switch, as soon as it is depressed (i.e. we are launched) the time is recorded and we have a launch time!
L-3 : Transfert de la fusée jusqu’au pas de tir. Ça a l’air impressionnant, mais le système pour la faire tenir à la verticale n’a rien de compliqué : on utilise tout simplement des contrepoids. Pas besoin non plus d’électroniques sophistiquées pour dégager la voie à la fusée lors du lancement, la force du décollage suffisant largement pour faire basculer les structures de soutien en arrière. Comment arrive-t-on à connaître l’heure exacte du décollage ? Là aussi, c’est facile : la fusée est installée sous une sorte de grand bouton-poussoir qui est relâché quand elle décolle, ce qui déclenche l’enregistrement de l’heure du lancement.

I had a lovely rocket plant this year so , have let it go to seed to plant again. Arent the flowers sweet :)
Replica of Robert Stephenson's 0-2-2 "Rocket" built 1829 for the Liverpool & Manchester Railway and the successful entrant at the famous Rainhill Trials; at the now closed British Transport Museum, Clapham, 07/66. Scanned photograph taken with a Kowa SET.
Workers are seen around the Soyuz rocket after it was raised into a vertical position on the launch pad, Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2018 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Expedition 57 crewmembers Nick Hague of NASA and Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmos are scheduled to launch on October 11 and will spend the next six months living and working aboard the International Space Station.

The rocket has largely remained uneaten by the slugs.Though some of the leaves do have nibble marks.
We got Marilia's GREECE rocket up tonight! These are two consecutive frames from the Poker Flat AASAP allsky camera, identical exposures - the rocket just puts off a crapload of light when it leaves the pad.
Basically straight out of camera, I might replace this with a better version tomorrow when I've had a chance to look at what I can do with what I've got. And definitely write a little more about it when I have a little time.
This image looks at part of the Rockets and Missiles exhibition in the Space Hangar at the National Air & Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virgina. It's packed with vehicles, motors, guidance systems and memorabilia. Not all of the exhibits had successful careers!
Amongst the many vehicles on display on the floor can be seen:
Poseidon C-3 sub-launched ballistic missile
Patriot PAC-2 surface-to-air missile
AGM-86A air-launched cruise missile
Pegasus XL launch vehicle
Matador surface-to-surface cruise missile
Styx anti-ship missile
Little John surface-to-surface missile
Regulus I cruise missile
Nike-Ajax surface-to-air missile
Rheintochter R1 surface-to-air missile
Suspended vehicles include:
Lark surface-to-air missile
Gorgon IV target drone
Gorgon 2C missile
Gorgon IIA missile
Gargoyle missile
AGM-86B air-launched cruise missile
Most of the vehicles I've listed were air-breathers. Their ages range from some used during WWII (the Rheintochter), through the Cold War and all the way to as recently as 2016 (the Pegasus XL). Their original procurers include the US Navy, US Army, US Air Force, Soviet Navy and the Wehrmacht.
Partially visible in the lower right foreground is a model wearing the Bell No. 2 rocket belt or 'Jet Pack,' although it may no longer be on display.
With my V2.1 lying about, there was a bit of anticipation for its launch. I was busy with some other launches, and so the long wait begins…
Some other reactions below.
Eruca sativa also known as salad rocket, roquette, rucola, rugula, colewort and in the United States, arugula. We've grown it for the first time this year and it grows really well here! In addition to the leaves, the flowers can be used in salads as an edible garnish. The young seed pods and mature seeds are all edible. Also.......it was grown as an edible herb in the Mediterranean area since Roman times and salad rocket was mentioned by various classical authors as an aphrodisiac and most famously in a poem long ascribed to Virgil, Moretum, which contains the line: "et veneris revocans eruca morantuem" translates as the rocket excites the sexual desire of drowsy people....so now you know. Of course I wanted to grow it because it's rich in vitamin C and potassium :)

Bryce Avary of The Rocket Summer, Warped Tour 2010, Mississauga, ON.
I waited to post this until the magazine post went up. So here you guys are! I have many more from this set that I absolutely love so I'll try to post those soon. I waited for a while to take these and Bryce was gracious (as always) and let me snap a few after some interviews. I have been listening to The Rocket Summer for many years now, and I am so thankful to have them in my life. Bryce has always been the kindest person to me and I am so glad to have people like him in the world.
For now, please go see more photos (another portrait of Bryce as well) from Warped Tour at Sticky Magazine

Do you have something in your teeth Rocket?
He's growing fast, and is proving to be an excellent model so far.
A wee rocket, painted and glued by The Boy and holding a place of honor on the shelf above my computer.
Took a trip to Texas and visited NASA's Johnson Space Center. A little more fired up about rockets than usual, were that possible.
I'm pretty sure the venting oxygen added another hour to the render, but I'll be damned if I don't have it.
September 1 at 04:20 local time (20:20 GMT), two strange blob in different colors flying over my camping tent, leaving a red trial behind. Those blob are rocket trials from a Zenit-3SLB launch vehicle and a DM-SLB upper stage, they were launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, sending Amos 4, the largest and most sophisticated communications satellite of Israel, into orbit.
