Behold the mighty Rocket Car! Loud as all get-out.
Designed and built by Baron Margo.
According to his site, it goes over 100MPH. Price: $85,000.
Oh, and I guess it's actually a motorcycle.
Atwater Village - Los Angeles, 2006.
Rocket raccoon's rifle from Guardians of the Galaxy, but with my own little spin. Collapsible and has a firing mechanism
Despite the U.S. Army's choice to field a modern anti- armor helicopter as their main attack helicopter, the USMC didn't adopt the Apache. The Marine Corps were going to adopt the new helo, when the budget was cut and they were forced to update their Cobras. With modifications including advanced countermeasures, new digital cockpit, longer stub wings, and the compatability to use both BGM-71 TOW missiles and AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, the Cobra renewed it's legendary reputation and then some as a true force to be reckoned with. A 20 MM three barreled gatling gun sits in a nose turret while the wings can be fitted with two AIM-9 Sidewinder air- to- air missiles, Hydra 70 rocket pods, and both AGM-114 and BGM-71 missiles. Utilizing the same engines as the Apache, but being a lighter aircraft, the Cobra can exceed 220 knots; almost 70 knots faster than the Apache. Although it may not be as heavily armored as the AH-64D, it is still fairly well armored and can use it's slim, streamlined profile to it's advantage.
My model is a mix of AH-1W and AH-1Z. It is mostly a Zulu model minus the two extra rotors, and it uses Whiskey model engines.
Retired rockets at Kennedy Space Center...soon a retired space shuttle will be among them--the Atlantis.
Its my original Saturn 5 photo turned through 180 and I have to say that it looks far more impressive even if it isn't technically correct.
I'm now on Instagram! Follow me @musubk for more day-to-day type photography.
This is the launch of a sounding rocket into the aurora to study the upper atmosphere. The smoke trail you see is from a launch one minute prior, and the falling trail you can see is the first stage from that rocket falling back down.
The Rocket Center is a strip mall at 584 Court Street (U.S. Route 11), east of Binghamton, New York. This sign is a great example of Populuxe/Raygun Gothic. Today, this area is something like a vice district, with three strip clubs and a sleazy motel in close proximity.
The gantry rolls back at Space Launch Complex 2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, on Sept. 14, 2018, for the final United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket which will carry NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2). Liftoff is scheduled for Sept. 15, 2018, at 8:46 a.m. EDT (5:46 a.m. PDT). The satellite will measure the height of our changing Earth, one laser pulse at a time, 10,000 laser pulses per second. ICESat-2 will provide scientists with height measurements that create a global portrait of Earth's third dimension, gathering date that can precisely track changes of terrain, including glaciers, sea ice and forests.

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.
The Rocketeer opened twenty years ago today. To celebrate one of my favorite films, I created this photo to look like a late 1930’s slide. I envision a photographer looking outside a passenger plane window taking photos of the clouds. Suddenly, a mysterious figure jet packs into view and click-snap, this photo is created.
Long live the Rocketeer and big thanks to the late great Dave Stevens for creating one of the best comic book adventure heroes!
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)
Rainy weekends are perfect for rocket building. This is a project that is nearing completion, and just needs some finishing, paint and final assembly. You can see the ugly seams of layers of fiberglass (thick and thin) and the grey of JB Weld.
I started with a Phoenix BH-2000, and modified it to take two extra motors (inside the originally decorative side boosters) and a HCX flight computer to airstart them when the accelerometer detects that the central main engine has burned out. I also fiberglassed everything (fins tip-to-tip, upper body tubes, and thin fiberglass around the whole side booster assembly) for extra strength. I plan to use the strap-on-videocam, so I added layers of fiberglass to raise the GLR metal launch lugs higher, and cut out a rectangular patch in the fiberglass above the top lug for the nylon strap to wrap around the rocket without rubbing against the launch rail. I added Kevlar-wrapped racquetballs internally for protection against body tube zippers during parachute deployment (drogue and main). I also added a GLR metal engine retention system for the main motor tube so I can easily fly larger reloadable motors. And on the backside of the rocket, seen here, I ran a line of plastic straws (under the epoxy+milled fiber fillets) from the external engines up into the upper part of the rocket where the HCX computer will reside (the top straws are flex straws for the bend into the body. This should allow me to route the wires for the outboard motors up to the computer without having them flap around outside the rocket during flight.
If this all works, I hope to capture some cool video looking downward from the top of the rocket… as the main H210 redline motor burns out, and then the outboard white motors ignite mid-flight, carrying the rocket to new heights.
After painting, this should all look smooth and lovely, hiding the patchwork within.
Mutators for some custom game action are now live along with other fixes

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.
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.
