Need something scanning in a hurry? Llwyngwril Systems has the answer! The Rocket Radar Tricycle.
Not be confused with the Radar Rocket Tricycle, this vehicle gets a radar scanner to you fast (providing you have first laid down a smooth surface such as tarmac or concrete). The twin rocket motors are powerful but with fine and precise throttle control the driver can easily avoid pitch-poling and being slammed face-first into the ground.
Order yours today!

...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...

Today i spent the afternoon on the OBX Jetpack and Flyboard boat with my good friends Butch and Joyce. It was supposed to be one flyer and then out to lunch! One flyer turned into five and so between people wanting to “learn to fly” , Butch;s son and grandson did some flying. The jetpack reminded me of this song and thus the title of this shot.
The flyboard is the choice of most these days to learn to fly...kind of a snowboard over the water and into the sky! I had a lot of fun meeting the adventurers and photographing them, sharing laughs and a late lunch with Joyce and also with Butch’s grandson! I am in awe of this flyboard thing...i will never do it...i do not swim well (yes i know you have to wear a life vest ...but the other part of the equation is that i am afraid of heights!! (unless i am enclosed...like an airplane, where my brain seems to rationalize that all is well because i am enclosed inside the metal torpedo and there is no chance i will fall out...yes...my brain is weird.,,yes, i KNOW that...but am content letting it think it’s all good, rather than have a panic attack!)
Just curious if anyone else out there might give these things a try or not. The jetpack ALMOST...SORT OF...makes me want to try it ....low to the surface of the water...maybe. Um. as soon as i figure out how not to sink like a stone!
This is a Rocket, a Firecracker which is in motion. The light streaks are created because the Firecracker travels at quite some Speed. It is the trail of the Rocket.

Gardena, CA. I admit that I've probably spent less than $50 dollars on dry cleaning in my entire life of many decades. NIkon Z6, Tokina 16-28mm 2.8
E8 655 leads the eastbound Quad City Rocket east of La Salle IL. as seen from the top of the old Rock Island tunnel. Sept. 1976.
Saturn V first stage. A cluster of five engines like these provided the power for the first stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle during the Apollo-Saturn test flights, manned flights to the Moon, and the launch of the Skylab orbiting laboratory into Earth orbit. The engines were powered for 2 1/2 minutes lifting the Saturn V to an altitude of about 41 miles and a speed of about 6,000 miles per hour. Each engine weighed 15,650 pounds and developed a thrust of 1,500,000 pounds (excerpt from a sign at the Rocket Center)
an unusual shape at BALLS 29. It flew on a soft sparky motor, and rose slowly up into the sky.

This is my Grandads retirement present from 'The Lads' where he worked. It's a handmade metal rocket created in the workshop at a local rocket testing facility which is still there today. I don't know much about what he did there as he retired back in 1973 when I was just one, but this sentimental piece that sits on a window sill at my parents house is a fond reminder of him.

An Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket is seen on launch Pad-0A at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, Monday, January 6, 2014 in advance of a planned Wednesday, Jan. 8th, 1:32 p.m. EST launch, Wallops Island, VA. The Antares will launch a Cygnus spacecraft on a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. The Orbital-1 mission is Orbital Sciences' first contracted cargo delivery flight to the space station for NASA. Among the cargo aboard Cygnus set to launch to the space station are science experiments, crew provisions, spare parts and other hardware.

The incredible US Air Force/NASA North American X-15A 56-6670 preserved in Washington DC's Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum back in 1987
Carried aloft by an NB-52 'Mother-ship' out at Edwards AFB in California, during testing the X-15 achieved an altitude of
353,000 feet (almost 67 miles) and reached Mach 6.72 or
4,519 mph/7,273km/hour
Of the three X-15's built, this one and sister-ship 56-6671 survived - the latter resides in the Air Force Museum in Ohio
The 3rd example - the main subject of the following link was destroyed in November 1967

Being Rocket powered the X-15 was technically not the fastest 'aircraft' as that accolade is held by the 'air-breathing'

This intersection of chance, luck, fortune and funk arose from me riding my bike in the neighborhood. I came across this cool car. I parked and whipped out the Lubitel — a plastic low-fi twin-lens-reflex camera. The camera is made for one-twenty medium-format sized film. But, I’d loaded it with thirty-five millimeter drugstore film. Thing is, I never sealed the red window that normally shows the film counter. So light poured in the window, and exposed the film from the back.
Everything else on the frame is ‘real’ too. The scratches are on the negative. The sprocket holes are real. The rough edged border comes from the cardboard negative holder I made myself to scan the negative.
It is Rocket Car.
