This NASA computer-generated file image released on August 24, 2011 depicts part of Mars at the boundary between darkness and daylight, with an area including Gale Crater, beginning to catch morning light. The budget proposed February 13, 2012 by US President Barack Obama for fiscal year 2013 would slash $226 million from the US space agency's Mars exploration program, likely axing a planned partnership with Europe. While the overall proposal is to give NASA $17.7 billion, a decrease of 0.3 percent or $59 million less than 2012, the steepest cuts -- a near 39 percent decline -- hit plans for robotic exploration of Mars. The budget did not specifically mention the ExoMars collaboration with the European Space Agency, which was to send an orbiter to the red planet in 2016 followed by a pair of rovers in 2018 ahead of plan to return samples to Earth in the 2020s.

97-17426 (December 10, 1997) --- The U.S. Laboratory module for the International Space Station is shown under construction in the fall of 1997 at the Marshall Space Flight Center station manufacturing facility in Huntsville, Al. The lab module will be launched to the station on Space Shuttle mission STS-98 in May 1999. The aluminum module is 28 feet long and 14 feet in diameter. The lab is consists of three cylindrical sections and two endcones with hatches that will be mated to other station components. The exterior waffle pattern visible in this image strengthens the hull of the lab. The exterior will eventually be covered by a debris shield blanket made of a material similar to that used in bullet-proof vests on Earth. A thin aluminum debris shield will then be placed over the blanket for additional protection. A 20-inch diameter window is located on one side of the center module segment.
Just how many galaxies exist here ... how many are not even there anymore ... how many ... aww forget it
Lego stuff I've been doing, just to show I haven't slacked off. I've been so busy with these I haven't got to moc as much as I'd like, but I have been getting my recommended daily allowance.
To travel through space is always one of my vain hopes.This is my space shuttle model which I bought last year.
NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik photographed Super Typhoon Noru on August 1, 2017, as the International Space Station passed overhead. He shared images of the massive storm on social media, writing, "Super Typhoon #Noru, amazing the size of this weather phenomenon, you can almost sense its power from 250 miles above." via NASA ift.tt/2tZW5Hq
This is a wonderful replica of the space helmet from 2001: A Space Odyssey. I have wanted one of these ever since I saw the movie as a young boy. It’s one of the most recognizable helmets in film history. The color is right, the curves are right and the milled aluminum collar sends this over the top. This replica was made by PredictaMike. He is one of the best makers of replicas out there. If you are interested in his work you will find him in my contact list.
SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.

Documenting spaceflight through photography has gained importance during the space age. NASA used cameras to record tests while developing rockets, spacecraft, and other equipment. The value of in-flight photography by astronauts, however, was debated up through the Apollo program. Because every gram of equipment had to be justified, and every moment of an astronaut’s time meticulously planned, it took years for photography to become fully accepted in the U.S. space program.
Photography equipment, either integrated into the spacecraft or held by astronauts was selected by NASA for its high quality, reliability, and ability to be modified for use in space. Photographs taken by those cameras are crucial to understanding the experience and science of space exploration.
The cameras and equipment displayed here show not only the evolution of photographic technology for space flight, but also the increasing role of the astronaut as a photographer.

patty, you were so right about that gift bag/backdrop cloth :)
hmm, do i have a new 100 possibilities project subject?
wait and see :):) stay tuned tomorrow :):)
The model shows Thorgal Einauge, survivor of many battles. Being a lone wolf, the last of his battle squad, his armor shows the traces of his many fights.
A long time ago he and his brothers had choosen a distinctive tartan to show their bond, sealed by all the blood they had spilled in combat. Thorgal now wears that tartan proudly on his armor to celebrate their memory.

The real deal, Space Shuttle Discovery at the Udvar-Hazy Center. The Udvar-Hazy Center is an annex of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. Lighting wasn't conducive to slower wide angle lens, so lots of the shots didn't get the entire aircraft but happy with the way things turned out shooting at 1/15.

Today I received my black-on-yellow Daisy space saver! When I first saw it on eBay, I did a double take on the design. It took a few seconds for it to sink in. :)
According to Alan's (Mackem 54) research, it was produced from 1958-1959, at The Wear Glassworks, in Sunderland, England. It was part of their Gaiety Range advertised as "New As Tomorrow." It's marked 2161 under the handle, and has the JAJ Crown with the words Pyrex Tableware.
