Meh.

Try it upside down.

Hehe I think that in real life the crane would be disintegrated by the shockwave, especially if you make a supersonic pass :lol:

And then there was an Orbiter action film.

Like the XR5 has some alien ship in it's tail and, and,... :rofl:

First of the TDRS satellites is up over the Indian Ocean.

Beautiful earth view (I guess lol)

In an alternate universe...

Instead of H-IIB launch vehicles, JAXA uses ASI's Neptune-1B (license-built in Japan) to launch Nep-1B Transfer Vehicles (NTVs) to the ISS, as opposed to HTVs. I had this idea because Nep-1B (17 t) and the H-IIB (19 t) have comparable payload capacities to LEO. Also, I wanted something other than that dummy payload.

First stage:

Second stage and fairing:

Launch:

1-2 sep:

Fairing sep:

The NTV (HTV) is jettisoned:

The ultimate American Big Three that provided the Americans the ability to stand up and rise against the Soviet Union (both on Earth and in orbit): the Thor, the Atlas and the Titan.

This is going to be released with the Carl Sagan Space Center? This would be awesome! With some action areas we could use it to open the doors of the hangars...

The shadow of the sign looks peculiar.

here is another view:

the old Skylab

Did one mission on the old NASSP Skylab where it was first sent up to space. I still have to circularize the orbit. Here's my shot of it up there. Still covered and the 2nd stage Saturn still in place.

 

[ED_4]

Just another set of shots unedited. And this set has me shooting off some of the Atlas rockets. The one with the satellite and the one that's just the rocket are separate. The satellite was sent out by what looked like an Ariane type rocket. At the time I wasn't able to capture the shot before the satellite was already up.

These two were called the AtlasLV-3A-AgenaD

The next has the AtlasLV-3A-AgenaB

The next one is with the satellite of the AtlasV

Another shot showing the close circularity of the orbit I managed to attain with that AtlasV.

The unmanned Verrazzano resupply vessel is about to dock with the ESS:

 

[ED_4]

Here's that AtlasV rocket that I didn't capture earlier while it's still on the ground.

Just a few more from my flight of the X-15 with the B-52 mothership.

In this shot below you can just barely make out the B-52 mothership behind and above the X-15.

I didn't really get that far and that fast for my first fly of her. But now it's time to turn home.

Back to terra firma.
