Interplanetary Travel
Interplanetary travel has begun.
As of this morning, I have left this planet from which I came in August 2019. I have discovered many settlements from civilizations that have lived on this planet before. Many of the settlements I discovered were still standing. The architectural structures unique to the planet were quite impressive. Plutonia, which is generally a desert planet, has a suitable structure for living. I came across several plant species, trees with edible fruits. I came across water beds on the planet, which is mostly covered with desert. I took samples from these potable water sources. I would say hot for the climate of the planet. However, I cannot say that it has a scorching heat. This is quite unusual for a planet with 5 suns. The planet has 16 natural satellites. And all of these satellites are visible day and night. I think some moons are larger planets nearby. I have observed some of these planets on other planets I have visited. I have shared 148 special photos that I have chosen for you from this planet. I hope you are satisfied. I will soon pass through the atmosphere of the planet Plutonia and reach the outer space. Then I'll have to dock with my spaceship. And after entering the new route into the computer, I will have started my journey in outer space. I hope I can keep sending photos from outer space. I will try to stay in touch.
Goodbye.

Well there we have it, its official, the hottest and sunniest early May Bank holiday weekend on record, according to the BBC.
Hoof and I tore down to the coast Fri, Sat, Sunday and every time we rocked up this is what we found, thick fog ! as it had been most of the day as well.
As with so many national institutions and organisations we in the far west do not exist, however that is where we benefit, we can get up to whatever we like whenever we like and no-one is any the wiser.
As I explained to one of my Flickr friends a couple of nights ago the next project we have on in the village is to fulfil the lifetime ambition of a pensioner who wants us to build a space rocket so as they can travel into the earths outer atmosphere and if we can get enough mpg out of the engine maybe to the moon and beyond.
Plans are well under way, we have already had a meeting in the secret office, where various refreshments were required and consumed to stimulate the thinking processes required to pull this stunt off.
As we have all handled and set off fireworks, we feel that we have the necessary experience and expertise in the principles of getting an object into the air which are relevant to this space project, so all we will be doing in reality is upscaling a bit.
One thing we are not going to do is have a countdown, can you imagine sitting in your car going 10 9 8, etc so once we get the person on board the space rocket, it will be just a matter of turning the key and hitting the start button and go, so all this drama that goes on at Cape Canaveral where they get to about 5 in the countdown and some bearded engineer speaks and says “go for main engine start” well tis so unnecessary, (have you ever thought when watching a launch why do they do that, they have spent months messing around wheeling it out etc, it is not like they are going for a crib break when they get to 5)
Just imagine sat on your driveway one morning in your highly polished Reliant Robin going through that sort of routine, it don’t happen, its a case of kicking the tyres, hop on board and go.
We have mentioned to our adventurous traveller it might be a wise move not to eat any baked beans before putting the space suit on.
The principle we will be adopting in putting this dear old soul into space, however will be done with care and compassion, but most importantly, out of the glare of the worlds media, as we do not exist.
As always thank you so much for looking at my shots, your faves and comments are so appreciated🚀🐎😎
Vega-C VV21 with LARES-2 ready for launch as the gantry is being retracted on 13 July 2022 at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
Vega-C brings a new level of performance to ESA's launch family. With new first and second stages and an uprated fourth stage, Vega-C increases performance to about 2.3 t in a reference 700 km polar orbit, from the 1.5 t capability of its predecessor, Vega.
Vega-C features a new, more powerful first stage, P120C, based on Vega’s P80. Atop that is a new second stage, Zefiro-40, and then the same Zefiro-9 third stage as used on Vega.
The re-ignitable upper stage is also improved. AVUM+ has increased liquid propellant capacity, to deliver payloads to multiple orbits depending on mission requirements and to allow for longer operational time in space, to enable extended missions.
The P120C motor will do double service, with either two or four units acting as strap-on boosters for Ariane 6. Sharing this component streamlines industrial efficiency and improves cost-effectiveness of both launchers.
With its larger main stages and bigger fairing – which doubles the payload volume compared to Vega – Vega-C measures 34.8 m high, nearly 5 m taller than Vega.
The new launcher configuration delivers a significant improvement in launch system flexibility. Vega-C can orbit larger satellites, two main payloads or can accommodate various arrangements for rideshare missions. ESA’s upcoming Space Rider return-to-Earth vehicle will be launched to orbit on Vega-C.

Interplanetary Travel
Interplanetary travel has begun.
My interplanetary journey has begun again. I entered the path of the planet I was going to go to the space coordinate system in my spaceship's computer. I am sorry that I will not be able to communicate with you while traveling in outer space. I will still try to communicate. I hope I can be successful. I'm leaving behind another planet that I finished exploring. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey to find new life forms. See you again on the next planet I visit.

Seen on display at the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace at Paris Le Bourget, test-bed Sud Aviation SE-210 Caravelle VI-R No. 234 of the Centre d'Essais en Vol [Flight Test Center] with the following logo 'Avion Laboratoire d'Integration de Systemes' [Aircraft Systems Integration Laboratory]. The aircraft is also carrying airshow number '133' attached.
Behind the vintage Caravelle is an Ariane space rocket, which is itself in front of the Centre national d-etudes spatiales [National Center for Space Studies] - quite the combination of exhibits :)
Without my log book I can't remember the serial of Swedish Air Force Saab Viggen - tail code '12'? Either 37360 or 37961 with thanks to crusader752 for sleuthing :)
No. 234 c/n 234 (F-ZACQ) - Sud Aviation Caravelle VI-R started life with Luxair in Mar 1970, one of three such aircraft in the fleet, registered LX-LGE and named 'Prince Marie-Astrid'. Just three years later the aircraft passed to SATA S.A. de Transport Aerien Geneve as HB-ICP. After another three years, in Jun 1975 the aircraft returned to France as F-BRGX and went to Catair. After a short lease to Air Inter, the aircraft ended up with the Centre d'Essais en Vol. It is now preserved/dumped in bad condition at Bordeaux-Merignac.
282 Caravelles were produced between 1955 and 1973. More information here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sud_Aviation_Caravelle

You can see a random selection of my aviation memories here: www.flickriver.com/photos/heathrowjunkie/random/
“Missiles and earth satellites command the attention of the world. Already seven pilots have been chosen to train for man’s first venture into space. Here are the stories of the Air Force today – of planes that fly at twice the speed of sound, missiles that can hit a target 5,000 miles away, and here are the Air Force technicians and space pioneers who will soon launch a manned satellite into orbit around the Earth!
“Frank Harvey is an aviation writer who knows this exciting new field in both its scientific and military aspects. He has visited the launching sites and Air Force laboratories where the conquests of tomorrow are made. And he writes with electric tension of the men whose complex skills are tested every day in the high cold frontiers of space.” [From the back cover]
“A series of exciting slice-of-life vignettes depicting the thrilling and dangerous exploits of test pilots and others on the cutting edge of the 1950s Air Force . . .” –Goodreads.com
There are eight stories in all, including three that describe unique challenges posed by the new frontier:
“Moon Shot” (from “The Saturday Evening Post,” 1958) – On the brink of one of history’s most fateful moments, something went terribly wrong . . .
“Destruct Button” (from “Argosy,” 1959) – It’s bad enough pushing a destruct button on two million dollars’ worth of Atlas missile. And now there was something even more precious in the nose cone – a living human being!
“100 Miles Up” (from “Argosy,” 1958) – An unforgettable story of a man who conquered space – and couldn’t find the way back.
I created this abstract image to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Moon Landing.
Inspired by Stanley Kubrick's "2001 - A Space Odyssey", I am trying to help stimulate a resurgence in Space travel and Space exploration.
It seems that exploration is essential for mankind and, considering that we have explored most of our planet, I feel that manned space flight to places beyond the moon is necessary.
Einstein's "constant" in his fundamental equation "E=MC[squared]" is being questioned as physicists probe more exotic types of matter. This gives us hope that technologies can be invented that may surpass the limitations that Einstein's theories prescribed.
"Panthesis" is a neologism, literally meaning a thesis for everything, or omniscience. Even though omniscience is impossible, the challenge of greater knowledge and exploration awaits us. "Panthesis" can be seen as relating to "panacea" meaning "a universal medicine". Indeed, Space exploration may be a (partial) cure for post modern stagnancy, and a purpose to reassess Capitalism and the difficulties of the "artificial" world that we are currently creating.

Here is a link to a number of "stills" from the Stargate sequence of "2001- A Space Odyssey". Here we see man journey at great speed through Kubrick's version of intergalactic travel. Kubrick touches on the psychological implications of such travel as well as the physical. The effects were ground breaking at the time of the films release.
This a follow vertorama shot from Racton Ruins. this inside of this place in amazing lotsof circular rooms and long windows smashed bottle glass brick and graffiti every where. Even right up the top of the tower, this is were fools fear to trend. i still work can't work out how they climb up the small fire place. lol.
hope you all enjoy? :-)
This image is 3 section HDR vertorama. but the middle and top section are made up from 2 hdr''s. for this i spot metered the wall for inside exposure for the first hdr and then spot metered the light out side and took that hdr. then in photoshop using lDRI treatment i layer masked the out side exposure to the wall hdr to get the whole dynamic range. Done the same for the top window as well.
All hdr's are 7 expo bracketed hdrs all processed in photomatix and then edited in photoshop for final visual kick.
Europa 2 rocket intended for launch F-14.
The Europa rocket was an early expendable launch system of the European Launcher Development Organisation (ELDO), which was the precursor to the European Space Agency (ESA). It was developed with the aim to delivering space access technology, and more specifically to facilitate the deployment of European-wide telecommunication and meteorological satellites into orbit.

An exceedingly rare photograph of a Hermes rocket/missile, especially of launch preparation.
Apparently, this is the first (of seven) of the ‘A3A’ version of the Hermes missile/rocket. Unfortunately, the launch was a failure, with a turbo-pump failure 23 seconds after launch.

I think this photo was taken before we actually moved in…
I met with our broker Anita my wife (at the time) could not come since she had started working, so she asked me to take pictures, this was one of them…
Finally we would get firm ground under our feet on a newly built apartment far above ground…
At first we had lived at a hotel for some weeks, then we managed to find a lodging in a Brazilian woman’s apartment when she was away abroad…
Well perhaps we were to hasty to settle down since this flat would be full of future headaches…
still I was longing to paint and that was impossible at a hotel or in another persons apartment!!!
I wanted a studio to work in!!!
Peace and Noise!

Part of the space collection at work, a PA-0207 / RD-0207 Vernier rocket engine from the second stage of the UR-200 space rocket proposed as the launcher for the anti-satellite spacecraft.
At the beginning of the 1960s, Vladimir Chelomei, the head of the OKB-52 design bureau, proposed to Nikita Khrushchev to develop a series of the ‘versatile rockets’ or in Russian abbreviation,the UR series. Based on the each vehicle's expected liftoff mass, they received designations: UR-100, UR-200 and UR-500. In 1961, the Kremlin chose Chelomei's concept. Dubbed Istrebitel Sputnikov (for the "Satellite Destroyer"), the barrel-shaped spacecraft would sport 17 thrusters to make any conceivable maneuver in orbit. It would be supported by a complex network of ground stations spread over several time zones across the Soviet Union for tracking enemy satellites and guiding the killer to its target. A pair of guidance stations were deployed in the Siberian town of Irkutsk and near Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan. On November 1, 1963, the Soviet Union launched the first prototype of the ‘killer satellite’—what we would refer to today as an anti-satellite system, or ASAT. Officially announced as Polyot-1 (or Flight-1), this highly maneuverable spacecraft was intended to test whether the Soviets could approach an enemy satellite and destroy it. This mission set off a decades-long race to develop and deploy offensive weapons in space that culminated in the 1980s with Ronald Reagan's famous Star Wars program.
Engine measures approximately 23″ long, with a nozzle diameter of 8.5″. Engine is attached to a u-shaped metal rod which is affixed to a 15 x 8 metal stand.

"SA-500F (alternately SA500F, 500F, or Facilities Integration Vehicle) was a dummy Saturn V used by NASA to test facilities at Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida during 1966.[1] Tests included the mating of the Saturn's stages in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), the fit of the service platforms, the launcher-transporter operation, the propellant loading system, and the test connections to the mobile launcher and support equipment.
"Its three stages duplicated the flight configuration, ordnance, and umbilical connections of their live counterparts. Although inert, the retrograde rockets, ullage rockets, and shaped charges had the dimensions of the live ordnance to let the launch team practice ordnance installation. The first stage only had one real F-1 engine, and the inter-tank section between the first and second stages had a different paint scheme than flight vehicles. It was stacked on Mobile Launcher 1 in VAB Bay 1 with the Apollo spacecraft facilities verification vehicle boilerplate.
"500F was rolled out to Pad A on May 25, 1966. On June 8, it was rolled back to the VAB temporarily as Hurricane Alma passed, though the ground crew supposed the rollback was more of an exercise than necessity because winds remained below critical for the entire storm. Facility checkout culminated with a "wet test" to verify storage and transfer of propellants
"500F was destacked on October 21, 1966. The first stage, S-1C-F, was returned to the Marshall Space Flight Center and was eventually scrapped.
"The second stage, S-IIC-F, was reassigned as a dynamic test stage at Marshall in early 1967 as S-II-F/D for use in the dynamic test vehicle SA-500D. It is now displayed as part of the Saturn V at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
"The third stage, S-IV-B-500F, had been manufactured as a dummy third stage for the smaller Saturn IB and used to check Saturn IB launch complex facilities. It was then modified to meet the Saturn V third stage configuration for 500F. In 1970, it was modified into the Skylab Workshop Dynamic Test Stage and was shipped in December to the Johnson Space Center for dynamic testing. In June 1971, it was shipped to Marshall for Skylab workshop static testing; and in June 1974 it was returned to KSC. Its fate is not known." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA-500F

The rocket has just been released from the great tower of technical service(The roll-back of the Mobile Service Structure). This tower was transported by the crawler-platform transporter vehicule has the size of a football field. Right now, we hear a loud noise of this Crawler vehicule. Many working on the launch pad. This is a moment of science fiction. That is a reality and it's very impressive. Dan Beaumont report.
