Rocket launch of the Space X Thuraya 4-NGS from launch pad 40 at Cape Canaveral SFS. FL. This a launch of a communications satellite built by Airbus Defense and Space for the UAEbased Yahsat. This was taken from the boat launch in Sebastian, FL.🚀

This is Joshua and his cousin Ben launching a model rocket on the school playground near Ben's house. This was the second launch of the day. On the first, the rocket flew straight up and no one saw where it went. Finally found it after an exhaustive search of the neighborhood. For this second launch, rocket spotters were positioned at the far edges of the grass field. If you look closely you can see Jessica and Clara watching from neat the white fence in the background. This rocket went straight up and then almost straight down to the launch spot.

Rocket is waiting for a Ribeye Roast to get done!!! 😂 Merry Christmas to all my Flickr Friends. Yes Rocky got a present too...they each got the same things so they couldn't be jealous of who got what...LOL

Rocket in the spirit of "Neo Classic Space"
A display on the theme of space without rocket is not a real space display ^^
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!
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!
I went camping for five days, only to come home to this little guy in my backyard. We named the adolescent Raccoon, Rocket.
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.
Digging trough old stuff i came upon this picture i took a while ago. Eastbound 'rocket train' A43021-27 bound for Bécancour,QC is flying trough the Saint-Lawrence valley at track speed. Back in 2017 when sister terminal Montreal-11 lost the contract of AMT commuter trains, they came upon a massive shortage of employees for some reason, management took a decision to give back the 429/430 pool back to Joffre based crews (the job was ours before, but that's another story...) for 6 months or so, i briefly held the '429 pool' back in these days. I sure miss running trains at 65 per, that picture did bring back a lot of memories...

This rocket is a very simple to fold model I designed for an astronomy-themed origami workshop.
The rocket can stand on its own thanks to a “foot” which can also be understood as representing the rocket’s shadow.

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.
