  • Thanks for posting but I can't see the photos as this country blocks the site where your photos are located. Some projects are ambitious but there's lots that's way behind the times.
    Read more

  • Some may be behind the times but some are very advanced and ambitious. My friends and I are planning on going there some time but probably we will not stay in the 7 star hotel. I got a nice .pps presentation by email on Dubai architecture, which shows the rotating towers and other buildings.

  • Those are hysterical - thanks for posting! I've pinched the Citibank one and posted it on my blog (with all due credit and link back, of course!) I think my readers will get a laugh from it too.

  • The second from the top looks cute, big two big eyes and buck teeth. The others look creepy.

  • These are creepy but interesting to look at

  • this one
    http://farm1.static.flickr.com/47/415862866_01ef60f917.jpg
    actually says "nuclear test zone. entry prohibited!" - very appropriate :)

  • The picture of the sheep at http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=415862750&size=o
    says:

    Caution: Tapeworms
    Read more

  • The five lights http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=401727194&size=o" means "Reduce speed"

  • NICE.

    Old Dog, Young Dog, Several Stupid Dogs sign is just down the street from my house in Gold Hill, Colorado.

    Yes, some of the dogs are stupid, but they are nice.

  • What those gaps means on that 'broken leg bird' sign in Scotland(?) I think the 'mouth' gap is fake (photoshoped).
    Read more

  • I need a remote control like that!...(Ah!Ah!Ah;)
    Read more

  • The bald falling man didn´t actually fall down! He was just obdient to the sign!...
    Read more

  • For all those Americans out there, the scottish sign is completely real, those round shapes are roundabouts (traffic circles) and the gaps show that if you go all the war round you will go down the road you just came up.
    it makes complete sense only americans who don't know anything about the rest of the world would not understand!

  • The Berlitz picture at the beach is actually warning people of pufferfish. http://www.flickr.com/photos/avi_abrams/415862809/sizes/o/
    Read more

  • The round sign on the beach advertising the language school with a sort of mask on it means "Warning ! Man-Eating Cannibals !". It's in Burmese, and I'm Burmese myself. I love your blog.
    Read more

  • Nice...
    Read more

  • to Anonymous -3:
    You appear to be the one who doesn't understand. The joke is that the sign looks like an animal. A male one at that. Photoshop status unknown.

  • Excellent series of pictures!

  • geniales todos los post.

  • Very cool.

    But one question does the Shuttle actually lift off from the back of
    the crawler?

    Or does it launch from a separate pad that the crawler simply transports it to?
    Read more

  • Awesome photos.

    I notice 438457650_81934df1c5.jpg and 438457714_76716def77.jpg both appear to have been censored. Each has a black rectangle, marked "Cargo package for ISS" and "New module for ISS" respectively. The black is solid and the rectangles are not in perspective with the rest of the photos, so apparently were added after the photo.

    I wonder what NASA needs to keep hidden, and why?

  • these are just label left-overs from original slide presentation :)

  • fantastic work

  • If one nation made it this far-imagine the possibilities of the world nations united?
    Read more

  • Excellent exposition. I've always wandered how the craft was attached to the boosters and the pictures reveal all and show it to be rudimentary mechanics-hoist and attach. That must be one awesome crane to be able to heave that amount of dead weight all the way up there. The counter-weight must be huge. Engineering at its best.
    Read more

  • Impressive series of pictures, thank you for this "insight" not so commonly seen around ;)
    Read more

  • The shuttle lifts off from the MLP (Mobile Launch Platform), which is the rectangular part the crawler is carrying. The crawler moves the platform into place, puts it down on fixed support legs and then moves to a parking position. The tower is a fixed installation for the Shuttle launches, but in the Apollo days, it was carried to the launch pad as well.

  • My dad works on the external fuel tank, and he's gone down river on the barge before. In a weird side note, on the barge, it's one big party and there's an entire walk-in freezer devoted to ice cream and a chef onboard on duty 24/7 to cook whatever your heart desires. LOL

  • I hadn't realised the tank was so big
    Read more

  • This is outstanding. I'venever imagined such gigantic efforts made to make it happen.

    Hats off to theses people!!

  • These are some of the greatest space-related pictures I've ever seen in my life. Thank you for posting.

  • Ben, yes, the tank is huge. That's the price for using liquid hydrogen as rocket fuel.

    Pound for pound, hydrogen is the most energetic fuel around. But it's bulky. One kilogram of water occupies one liter of volume. Liquid oxygen is a little heavier; each kilogram takes 0.89 liters. But H2O and LOX are like lead compared to liquid hydrogen; one kg needs 14.1 liters of tank space!

    As big as the hydrogen tank is, the oxygen still weighs six times more.

  • Thank you for this insight.

  • Great collection of photos :D:D:D

  • Disgusting waste of money. Saturn V was cheaper per pound to put stuff in LEO by a factor of 10. The space shuttle is pathetic, while the Soyuz keeps going up and down all the time, day in and out, the Shittle I mean shuttle, is basically rebuilt from top to bottom every launch, reusable my ass. What a piece of crap. Embarrassing. Too bad we cant resurrect Wernher von Braun to fix this pathetic mess.
