This rocket was launched from Ny Ålesund, Svalbard in early December to study the upper atmosphere. I was present as part of the team and took the opportunity to try a rocket launch shot on large format film. This was done on my Tachihara with Fuji Provia 100F film. The exposure was started about two hours before launch at f/8 to expose the sky, star trails, and distant landscape. About 30 seconds before launch I stopped the lens down to f/16 to expose the foreground lit by the rocket like a giant flash. I'm fairly proud of getting this on large format film since there's no way to meter or do any kind of test exposure.
Camera: Tachihara 4x5 field
Lens: Caltar-S 135mm f/5.6
Film: Fuji Provia 100F
Montefalco's space program kicks off! In collaboration with Germanikan engineers, the M1 rocket successfully lifted off today, carrying Montefalco's first astronaut, Guido Marchioni, into orbit. Due to incessant arguments over the color of Marchioni's spacesuit, the planned spacewalk was scrapped just before liftoff. Nevertheless, Marchioni still claimed the honor of being the first man to drink a Fonterran Burgundy in space.
As the J1, meanwhile, the rocket is produced and used in the same role as the V-2 was.
And before I forget, this is based off of Awe's octagon module he uses on the Maelstrom.
The new rocket in town launched by Astra Thursday, February 10, 2022, at 3 pm, looked good on the ascent but experienced an "issue during today's flight that resulted in the payloads not being delivered to orbit."
Echoing Chris Hadfield, "[s]paceflight is so unforgivingly difficult."

It was sheer luck that I spotted this tiny, elegant female damselfly sitting on a stem of rocket (arugula). She obligingly sat very still for me so I could get a couple of shots.

NBA's Houston Rockets have flown into town to play the Memphis Grizzlies. Their 767, N625HR, is parked on the Wilson Air Center ramp at MEM. This aircraft was originally delivered to United Airlines as N650UA in 1992.
For anybody who’s been wanting to try out the cars-meet-football-meet-physics title, now’s a good time.
Got a commission to make something similar to The Rocketeer. I didn't have all the right parts available so it's a tad different and turned out to be WAY more of a scratch build than the other, but I'm much happier with the outcome. It's much more detailed than the first one, and I used a couple of painting techniques picked up from looking at Will's work, like the masking to make the paint look peeled.
But yeah, as much as I'd like to keep this one, it's getting sent off tomorrow or so.
Third and final image that I recently made for this little series. Thanks for taking the time to view these 3 pics guys, appreciated. Here is Darwen Tower - but Lulu first thought it was a rocket when we was at the start of our walk! Must admit, it does look rocket’ish!!

forgot to say, the sky is totally fake... fwiw!
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'

The mission will deliver new science investigations, supplies, and equipment to the crew aboard the International Space Station. Liftoff is scheduled for 3:37 a.m. EDT on Saturday, Aug. 28, from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A. Photo credit: SpaceX

Tom Swift ain't got nothing on this!

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.
The United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket launches NASA's Parker Solar Probe to touch the Sun, Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018 from Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Parker Solar Probe is humanity’s first-ever mission into a part of the Sun’s atmosphere called the corona. Here it will directly explore solar processes that are key to understanding and forecasting space weather events that can impact life on Earth. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
