Just a handful of photos of B1057.1, B1052.2, and B1053.2 standing together on the 39A. Plus a couple of bonus shot from the last time I went to Port Canaveral.

XB-70A replied to SmileyTRex's topic in The Lounge
Not a song, but... I can't stop repeating the melody in my head. -
Otherwise, a great step forward has been realized yesterday. /s

I will never forget how amazed I was the first time I saw it. Sole “bad” point for me, they shortened Run Like Hell, which is my favourite track of the album (Side 4). Hopefully they did not shortcut Empty Spaces and Young Lust

My favorite of all time, since I saw it at 4 is... Top Gun. Yes, this movie is empty of any "moral" message, the dialogues are majorly flat, and the play of some actors below average, but it will remain my favorites forever because of an element: the Tomcat. This film was the one that made me dream of flying, the first day I saw these images of the F-14, I saw the aircraft with the ultimate elegance, mixing beauty with aggressiveness. What stands out from the dogfighting scenes literally made my eyes shine. The A-4 and F-5 are agile and responsive, while the F-14 sways behind them, heavy but using its power to follow them. One actor who have marked me in this film, and despite his minor presence, I would count Tom Skerritt (Viper). Otherwise, the top favorite list would be never-ending, but here are some that really marked me: - Stalker (1979), almost three hours long (far from beating Cleopatra or Warhol's Sleep), but one of the darkest and most touching atmosphere. - On the Beach (1959), a movie that was ahead of its time, and also... Ava Gardner . - The 9th Company (2005), I liked this film for its long scene and contrasts. The fixed plan on the rear door of the Antonov An-12 remains fantastic. - Porco Rosso (1992), this one gave me dreams too . Plus Joe Hisaishi's original soundtrack . - Vanishing Point (1971),... the Challenger. - Internal Affairs Trilogy (2002-2003), let's be honest, HK has a long history of making great movies, plus the direction by Lau. - Ekipazh (1979), imagine Airport 1975, but with a Tupolev Tu-154B-1 instead of a Boeing 747-123. It can only be good. - Hamle Be H-3 (1994), this one was extremely hard to find, as it was broadcast only a few times in Iran. The dialogues are boring, and some unnecessary scenes, but it's probably the movie with the most beautiful shots of F-4 Phantom II of all. Now it can be easily found in streaming on many sites. - Lebanon (2009), a unique atmosphere to be "locked up" in the Sho't, periscopes and optics being the only vision we have of the outside. - Das Boot (1981), when I hear that The Hunt for Red October is the best submarine film of all time, I know that some have not seen the wonder of Petersen... (don't get me wrong, I really like THfRO, Connery being my long-time favorite actor). - The Beast of War (1988), I really liked the "personification" of the T-55. Slow and heavy but devastating, it is truly the Beast of Destruction.

Having often been in the lowest during computer classes, I could not answer this question without making a mistake. However, I think you may have even more answers and advice by asking on the KSP Unofficial Official Computer Building/Buying Megathread topic, which is still active

Strangely, it is "normal" when I'm loading the forum page on my phone, but reversed on the computer.

More pictures of the space center, but this time of the "first part" of the museum (I do not remember sharing them here). Well... apart of the mock-up that you know pretty well. Sojourner. Forgotten and often ignored by the visitors, yet an historical machine. Next is a mock-up of the Mars Exploration Rovers. Why did you abandon us? Finally, the beast: Curiosity is such a monster when compared to the earlier models. Then, time to go back outside for a tour of launchers on display: A zoomed view of Titan-Gemini. There are many more, and to avoid invading the page all the remaining photos are in the spoiler. Finally, just another shot of Atlas-Agena: (I like the presence of the old man looking at the launcher)
