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'

Sexiest version I've ever seen of the Rocketeer! But.... before you go out flying, you may wanna put some other clothes on or you may end up showing more than you planned to. ^.^
Just kidding, hon! Riddle is a total sweetheart and one of the most meticulous costumers I know - barring any "wardrobe malfunctions" she does not show anything that she doesn't want to show.
Tech stuff: As Riddle was portraying a character that was an homage to 1930s comics (originally published as a back-up feature to Starslayer in 1982 - which I still have. Yay! Geek pride!!), I wanted to go with an older comicbook feel to the picture. I used Topaz Adjust (Sketch Pencil) and color halftoning (Photoshop), then a minute B&W layer (all on the background) to accomplish this idea.

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.

Rocket was designed and built by Robert Stephenson in 1829, and built at the Forth Street Works of his company in Newcastle upon Tyne. Though Rocket was not the first steam locomotive, it was the first to bring together several innovations that produced the most advanced locomotive of its day.

Described as 'A Stargazer's Dream', NASA is launching rockets into the northern lights for the next two weeks, the idea being to 'measure the timing and strength of the energy waves thrown around by this spring’s strong aurora.' (Alaska Public Media)
From my vantage point, I wasn't even aware of the rockets' launch, some 200+ miles away, just north of Fairbanks.
The night of northern lights was coming to a close in the wee hours of the morning, the northern lights were no longer very active and vibrant.
I almost threw out the photos of this series because the lights were not so good, until I noticed the rockets low on the horizon.
They appear low on the left horizon, just above the trees. First one early in the video, the second one near the end.
Just loving my nifty fifty. Taken in Black and white. Curves Adjustments in CS3 photoshop extend. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! View On Black

What do you do when the whale pops up half in and half out of frame? Crop it so it hopefully works at least a little. This juvenile rocketed straight up towards the boat out over the Bremer Canyon and I wasn't quite ready for it as evidenced by not having the whale completely in frame, but I liked the moment too much to scrap the photo entirely.

Elton John Tribute show ~ Coral Springs, Florida U.S.A. - 3/4/16
(IMHO this man is a brilliant showman, fun musician, singer and
entertainer with a lighthearted approach and it was a joy to see)
Check out this great show - The Rocket Man Show 2016 Promo

****************************************************************
The Rocket Man Show is the USA's number one 70's and 80's Elton John Tribute show. The show is an EXACT re-enactment of an early Elton John concert featuring elegant replica costumes. Many Items were worn by Elton John himself! 100 percent live instruments are played during the entire show. Audiences laugh, cry, sing and dance while enjoying a fun filled evening. So much fun is had by all.
The Rocket Man Show musicians portray Elton John's intense 70's and 80's concerts down to the most elaborate detail. The show features several rich and colorful costumes. Each costume has been professionally designed and tailored to match Elton's iconic look from his early decades on stage. All of Elton's hits can be heard including; Bennie and The Jets, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Crocodile Rock, & Tiny Dancer to name a few. Rus is a brilliant entertainer/singer/pianist.
(FYI: the background singer on the left is 'his wife' and the young lady
standing next to her is her sister! Rus Anderson is from Scotland. The
teddy-bear (above) was a gift to Rus from Elton John and is featured in a picture on the back of the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album)

This red-trousered, blue-eyed, humbug is the tiny Rainforest Rocket Frog. It really is tiny too, at about 17mm full-grown. It is found only in rainforests in Costa Rica and Panama. It occurs primarily in lowland rainforests but occurs on both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. The eggs are laid in leaf litter and the male transports the newly hatched tadpoles to nearby forest streams where they develop. One of the poison dart frogs, but these are only mildly toxic. They are supposedly common and diurnal where they occur but this was the only one we encountered. It was in the Piedras Blancas National Park in southern Costa Rica.
This rocket engine powered Germany's V-2 "Vengeance Weapon" during World War II. The engine was a technical achievement, using high-speed pumps to move large volumes of fuel into the thrust chamber very quickly. Its design also contributed to American rocketry following WWII.
The V-2's liquid oxygen and alcohol propellants produced a thrust of 56,000 pounds, giving the rocket a maximum range of 220 miles, a ceiling of 50-60 miles and a speed of 3,400 mph. Germany made about 6,000 V-2s during 1944-1945 and launched more than 2,600 against London, Antwerp, Liege, Brussels, Paris and Luxembourg.

Oldsmobile Rocket 88 - the 1949 version of this car is said by some to be the first muscle car, while the 1951 rhythm and blues tune about it is often called the first rock and roll song. The recording was credited to Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats, who were actually Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm. Listen here!
As far as the picture, I just couldn't resist all that fluted chrome and those wide whitewalls! : )
Rocket J. "Rocky" Squirrel is a plucky flying squirrel and one of the two protagonists of the 1959–1964 animated series. A serious fave of mine. This critter is going to be trained by my brother-in-law to ear out of his hand. He needed a name and I offered RJS or Rocky. It stuck immediately, so you get a picture of Rocky eating the peanuts the brother-in-law is using for the training. If it works, photo ops abound on the next trip.
