Model rocket launches are held at the Goddard Visitor Center the first Sunday of the month (some holidays excluded, and weather and security conditions permitting). Launches start at 1 p.m. and are brought to you by the NARHAMS Model Rocket club (www.narhams.org/). These launches have been part of Visitor Center programs since 1976.

Maybe the coolest Pop Corn box ever! I can picture kids watching a sci-fi b-movie at a theater while holding this box and eating popcorn.

Bung Bang Fai are traditional rocket festivals, taking place at the beginning of the wet season in numerous villages in Thailand’s Isaan area. The rockets are made of pvc piping filled with up to 100 kg black powder. Commonly festival visitors betting on the flight time of the rockets.
There aren't many of these great rocket slides left. One was sadly removed from Stars & Stripes park at Lake Hefner this last winter. My young boys were not happy about losing their beloved rocket slide there, but they were thrilled when we drove by this slide recently.
I'm now on Instagram! Follow me @musubk for more day-to-day type photography.
This is the launch of a sounding rocket into the aurora to study the upper atmosphere. The smoke trail you see is from a launch one minute prior, and the falling trail you can see is the first stage from that rocket falling back down.
Joy: Rocket had surgery on Thursday and her left eye was removed. We all cried. They put a pain patch on her and she had a bad reaction. She was screaming for hours and hours and we cried lots more. So the patch has been removed and she is feeling lots better. Rocket will be 17 years old in two days. We love her so much and are so happy we did not lose her.
La fusée Soyouz est en fait dérivée du lanceur R-7 Semiorka, développé à l'origine comme missile balistique intercontinental. Elle a conservé la même allure depuis le lancement de Spoutnik depuis Baïkonour le 4 octobre 1957. Elle mesure 46m de haut pour une masse de 310 tonnes. Mission Soyouz TMA-6.
The Soyuz rocket is actually derived from the Semiorka R-7 launcher, originally developed as an intercontinental ballistic missile. It has kept the same shape since the launch of Sputnik from Baikonur on 4 October 1957. It measures 46m high for a mass of 310 tons. Soyuz TMA-6 mission.

Sunday, when I got the text message my heart sunk. A good friend of mine's puppy was killed, none of which was her fault. Alibi, you will always be missed I am deeply sorry we didn't get the tribute photo sooner. You will always be loved,remembered and missed. And to Brilynn, you were a wonderful owner who did everything for her to the best of your ability. Atleast now she will always be "forever young".
If you'd like to go send love/tribute, here's the link: www.flickr.com/photos/univix/4828493346/
PS. NO I DID NOT SCARE ROCKET. She has a nervous personality and when she is commanded to do the "head down" command, she looks sad.
Finally, week one of band camp is over. Dog show Saturday, I'm psyched to get Breen back in the ring. Much love to you all.
And now for something completely different, a print ad for the 1951 Oldsmobile 98 "Holiday Sedan" with V8 "Rocket" engine. My dad's first car! There were at least a couple of different ad layouts featuring this model, and I liked this one so well I bought an original from that auction site.

Shot interiors today for a restaurant downtown. Their staff was really nice to work with, and they served me some free pizza and beer. If you're in LA check out Rocket Pizza on 4th between Spring & Main.

Pour it to the red line but not over! Some vintage glassware from the Apollo 11 era of the 1960s & early 70s.
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.
Again, this is someting that I originally posted as a B&W image.
Since I missed tonight's Falcon rocket launch from Vandenberg here in San Diego, I went to my archive and pulled up this shot I was fortunate to capture back in 1995. I don't recall the specifics, but it was shot on film with my Canon F1 - sometimes wish I had kept it.
I'm pretty sure it was more "blue hour" than the tone here, but being a long exposure on film, some colors shifted. Unfortunately I don't recall the lens or other settings. Regardless, I'm glad to have captured it.
