This week in 1975, the final Saturn IB rocket launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project - an international partnership between the U.S. and Soviet space programs. A Soviet Soyuz rocket launch preceded the Saturn IB launch. Designed to test the compatibility of rendezvous and docking systems and the possibility of an international space rescue, the nine-day mission brought together NASA astronauts Tom Stafford, Donald "Deke" Slayton, and Vance Brand in an Apollo command and service module and Russian cosmonauts Aleksey Leonov and Valeriy Kubasov in a Soyuz capsule. During nearly two days of joint activities, the cosmonauts and astronauts carried out five joint experiments. Today, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is playing a vital role in the Artemis program by developing the Space Launch System, the backbone of NASA's exploration plans and the only rocket capable of sending humans to the Moon and Mars. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating, and preserving NASA's remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological, and scientific aspects of NASA's activities in aeronautics and space.

This week in 1972, the Apollo 17 crew returned to Earth following a successful 12-day mission. Apollo 17 marked the final crewed lunar landing mission. Here, Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan approaches the parked Lunar Roving Vehicle. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center designed, developed and managed the production of the Lunar Roving Vehicle that astronauts used to explore the Moon. Today, Marshall is developing NASA's Space Launch System, the most powerful rocket ever built, capable of sending astronauts to the Moon, Mars and deeper into space than ever before. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating and preserving NASA’s remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological and scientific aspects of NASA’s activities in aeronautics and space.

This week in 2006, space shuttle Atlantis, mission STS-115, launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on the 19th flight to the International Space Station. The mission delivered and installed the P3/P4 integrated truss segment on the station. This was the first space station assembly mission after a four-year hiatus.

I've been wanting to share this photo for a while now and was happy to find it when I was recently going through some old scans. Roughly 10 1/2 years ago on October 18, 2004, D&H Train 169 heads south at CPF528 in East Worcester, NY, about to pass beneath the Brooker Hollow Road overpass. According to my notes, 169 had just held for northbound counterpart 168, which would explain the lack of headlights. In the 1990s--before the Conrail merger--I wasn't yet taking photos. So, I always enjoyed shooting Conrail power on Trains 168 and 169 in the early 2000s, and Conrail blue especially looked great in Fall color!
I think I am going to get my water drop rig setup again. It's been forever since I have done any of this stuff. This is from all the way back in 2008!
Not that this matters as a tbt photo. I'm sure the pattern looks the same, if only maybe a little more dusty.

Throw back Thursday
I was recently shown a social media post that went something along these lines….
Going outdoors – not cancelled
Music - not cancelled
Family - not cancelled
Reading - not cancelled
Singing - not cancelled
Laughing - not cancelled
Hope - not cancelled
Let’s remember what we have
Rather than going out and creating new images, it seems appropriate to look back at past collections of beautiful things our area has to offer during these difficult times and that will still be here when we are done with the current conditions….
Stay safe, stay supportive
