The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shipped solid rocket boosters from Thiokol Corporation in Corinne, Utah to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The 12-foot-wide, 150-ton segments were shipped by rail for 30 years. A clamshell-like cover, hinged at the top, protected the hardware throughout the journey. Fully loaded, a single segment car weighs in at 513,000 pounds.
Union Pacific's Malad Local was shuffling cars on the Thiokol Spur in Corrine, Utah on Nov. 20, 1993.
A gravity defying Pine Cone, but very beautiful nevertheless less. It comes complete with both a few webs and bags of bokeh.
This represents two childhood toys. The first, tiny toy cars that we collected and played with for endless hours. Then later we got a real on. Actually this same model and color. Both times they transported us to a different world.
The Rocket begins their maneuvers at Rock Springs with a pair of non-dynos. The pair went up with the intent of needing the horsepower to pull grain outta town, however, only three cars were billed out by the time they returned and that's all they grabbed before makin' tracks for Baraboo and ultimately Madison.
A REPLICA OF THE ARIANE 4 ROCKET BUILT TO ITS REAL SIZE (AROUND 60 METRES IN HEIGHT) FORMED PART OF THE UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION IN SEVILLA IN 1992, AND IS STILL THERE NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PHOTO THAT I TOOK YESTERDAY EVENING.
LA CARTUJA, SEVILLA, SPAIN.
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time...

The modern elevator in the Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock in Prague. With it's modern architecture it is a strong contrast to the building. In the picture the elevator is moving.
This picture was shot without a tripod, just with the IBIS of my Canon R6, I was impressed.

Using call-sign 'Guiness 11', US Air Force 555FS/31FW General-Dynamics F-16CM 89-2096/AV recovers to Lakenheath after expending port-side rockets on the nearby Holbeach Range

Le Prieur Rockets.
Unguided black powder rockets with razor-sharp tips, and used in an attempt to bring down observation balloons, and zepellins.
Mounted on wing struts and fired in singles and salvo. They weren't very effective.
These are my first attempts at modeling them. I will most likely redesign them and make them smaller in diameter..and red, of course.
Aircraft and pilot are from the retired Brickmania Sopwith Camel kit.
Powering up the Rocket.
It is the Friday before Half Term week and the National Railway Museums replica Rocket is gently being warmed up and raising steam ready for a few days of passenger service on the short demonstration line at Locomotion, Shildon, 21st October 2022.
In 1979 this working replica of Rocket was built by Locomotion Enterprises in the Springwell Workshops at the Bowes Railway for the 150th anniversary celebrations. It first worked in public on a short length of track in front of the Albert Memoria in Kensington Gardens in August/September 1979 and running at Rainhill, on the last two days at the Rocket 150 celebrations in May 1980.
"You may have heard of jalopies,
You've heard the noise they make,
But let me introduce you to my Rocket 88..."

Striped Rocket Frog (Litoria nasuta)
Found this little guy indoors on a potted plant, which likely explains why he was sitting in a water conservation position; air conditioning and frogs do not mix well.
-I put some black card behind the plant to remove as much distraction as possible; and while reasonably dark (look at the frogs pupils) this wasn't actually night (MY SECRETS REVEALED!)

Rocket is a spicy 'mustard green' leaf plant used widely in salads and is given different names across the world, arugula for example. Its botanic name is Eruca vesicaria sub-species sativa and its flowers (about 22mm) are not the usual objective in the herb garden. However, this is what they look like when they do appear.
A very nice addition, the Lewis gun looks great in bronze. This was my first Lewis gun, and I must say that the amount of detail is amazing! A very nice gun which fits the theme perfectly. Now for the Bayonet. I like it, I don't love it. While this may be a welcome addition for pirate and military fans, I will have to work hard to find uses for it, as I am more of a sci-fi fan. I also think the bayonet would work better with the gun if it were a different color. The solid bronze doesn't make the gun feel as interesting and
unique as it could be.
This takes the cake as my favorite weapon included with the Rocket Commando. It also helps that this is my favorite gun in the Brickarms arsenal. I've managed
to get 3 of these beauties including this one. Enough gloating! The gun is a work
of art. Due to it being a blend of many rayguns from a variety of sources, this gun fits with many minifigs and scenes. The one detail that completes the utter
awesomeness that is this gun is the trigger in the trigger guard. This is, from
my knowledge, the first gun to have this, and I hope this isn't the last. It looks
amazing, and makes the raygun feel finalized.
A Northrop Grumman Antares rocket carrying a Cygnus resupply spacecraft is seen as it is transported to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad-0A, Saturday, September 26, 2020, at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Northrop Grumman’s 14th contracted cargo resupply mission with NASA to the International Space Station will deliver about 8,000 pounds of science and research, crew supplies and vehicle hardware to the orbital laboratory and its crew. The CRS-14 Cygnus spacecraft is named after the first female astronaut of Indian descent, Kalpana Chawla, and is scheduled to launch at 9:38 p.m., Thursday, October 1, 2020 EDT.

Travelling on from Lake Pukaki on the main road south one soon finds Twizel. Twizel was the main construction town for the extensive irrigation and power scheme that controls the various lakes in the area. Some of the lakes were natural, others man-made. But at Pukaki Twizel airport are two quirky Capsules which are decked out as accommodation. I would imagine a great view of the stars and mountains, but very cold!
The door at the end was open so I peeked in to see what was on offer!
No hope that these capsules would travel to the stars though.
