all my friends and relatives ask to see the Rocket Man when they come to visit...hopefully he'll survive a few more decades..

Dan has spent the morning at the toy shop where he has bought a rocket. After taking it outside he decides to test it works
This little guy is so much fun....don't know if the others think he is though! LOL...quite the hoot here!! He sure is a wonderful addition to the household and our hearts! :)
I'm sad though...our other dog Bandit has something wrong. Has went blind and is going downhill fast...think we are gonna have to put him down...♥
Rocket trails seen from Parker, AZ
Info: Rocket launches from Vandenburg Airforce Base in Southern California... the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
The first public railway line in the world was the Stockton and Darlington railway, which contrary to it's name ran from Stockton to Shildon. It opened on the 27th of September 1825. This means that the 27th of September 2025 marked the 200th anniversary, which called for big celebrations at Darlington and Shildon.
One of the attractions at the Locomotion National Railway Museum at Shildon was a reconstruction of the famous "Rocket" built by George Stephenson in 1829. It was NOT the first steam locomotive in the world, but it was incredibly fast and strong for the time, winning the famous Rainhill Trials and setting the course for railways to develop into the backbone of transportation in the industrialized world.
The ‘red rocket’, Fowey on the site of a former lighthouse, is a navigation aid and the light is visible for 8 miles. It has recently had a fresh lick of paint which has lifted it's spirits!
When you're exploring icy worlds at cryogenic temperatures, skis can often be more effective than wheels or treads. This little rocket-propelled skidoo is perfect for those times when you need to go fast at ground level and have a lot of room to slow down. Like the ice flats of planet Krysto.
FebRovery episode 10. Double digits at last; I've been singularly uninspired this year and haven't managed to keep up my normal amount of rovers. Ah well, there's always next year!
Not the best photos, but Stephenson's original Rocket Steam Engine makes its return to Manchester for the first time in 180 years in Manchester's Industrial Museum.
Possibly my favorite figure of 2016 right here. A factory made prototype Boba Fett like the one originally pictured by Kenner. And yes, the rocket really fires ;)
Day 218. While my husband was doing jobs outside, I was moving furniture and doing important things such as this. And in-case there is any doubt, I'm not claiming to be a rocket scientist :-)
Rocket made for the display "Space Panic" at the french convention Brick à Dole 2017.
The theme of the display being the "Space", it was obvious to make a reference to Tintin and his famous rocket.
Basically, I took the form, the color, the 3 "legs" of the Tintin rocket.
I voluntarily modified the top of the rocket with a cockpit to get close to the spirit "Lego Space"
Minifigs Tintin, Captain Haddock and Snowy are relatively faithful to the comic.
Stephenson's Rocket was an early steam locomotive of 0-2-2 wheel arrangement, built in Newcastle at the Forth Street Works of Robert Stephenson and Company in 1829.
A common misconception is that Rocket was the first steam locomotive. In fact the first steam locomotive to run on tracks was built by Richard Trevithick 25 years earlier, but his designs were not developed beyond the experimental stage. Then followed the first commercially-successful twin-cylinder steam locomotives built by Matthew Murray in Holbeck for the Middleton Railway between Middleton and Leeds, West Yorkshire. George Stephenson, as well as a number of other engineers, had built steam locomotives before. Rocket was in some ways an evolution, not a revolution.
Rocket's claim to fame is that it was the first 'modern' locomotive, introducing several innovations that have been used on almost every steam locomotive built since. There have been differences in opinion on whom should be given the credit for designing Rocket. George Stephenson had designed several locomotives before but none as advanced as Rocket. At the time that Rocket was being designed and built at the Forth Banks Works, he was living in Liverpool overseeing the building of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. His son Robert had recently returned from a stint working in South America and resumed as managing director of Robert Stephenson and Company. He was in daily charge of designing and constructing the new locomotive. Although he was in frequent contact with his father in Liverpool and probably received advice from him, it is difficult not to give the majority of the credit for the design to Robert.
In 1862 Rocket was donated to the Patent Office Museum in London by the Thompsons of Milton Hall, near Brampton, in Cumbria. The locomotive is now exhibited (above) at the Science Museum in London in much-modified form compared to its original state. Such are the changes in the engine from 1829 that The Engineer magazine, c.1884, concluded that "it seems to us indisputable that the Rocket of 1829 and 1830 were totally different engines".
There's plenty of further info on the Rocket's engineering on multiple websites.
The Soyuz TMA-11M rocket is launched with Expedition 38 Soyuz Commander Mikhail Tyurin of Roscosmos, Flight Engineer Rick Mastracchio of NASA and Flight Engineer Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency onboard, Thursday, Nov. 7, 2013, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Tyurin, Mastracchio, and, Wakata will spend the next six months aboard the International Space Station. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
