Great detail Steve! The Rocket Mavericks video is inspiring. If we could only see that awe and interest inspire the majority of children in this country and around the world. What a wonderful place this world could be!

Mavericks wants to extend this program to schools around the country. We have over 38 schools that have requested a similar program.
We need your support. We are a 501C3 non-profit and if you feel these programs are worth supporting, I encourage you to make a donation at our website today at:

The impact on these kids lives has been incredible. They will change the world in ways we can not imagine as a result of this program.
Make a donation to support us today! We can only continue this and other programs with public support.

Amazing projects !!!!!
Will be meeting with few French astronauts and passionate scientists, labs/institutes leaders working on spreading scientific education, in the next few weeks.Will make sure to talk to them about it =) if they don’ t know about it already, and see if something similar is or can be done here !!!Looking and talking about rockets smoke and beauty.
Steve have you ever see this photo before ?(just discovered it today) AMAZING !!!
STS-98 Emits Plume of Smoke
Full Description:
This awesome image depicts the full moon, sunset launch of the Space Shuttle Orbiter Atlantis STS-98 mission on February 7, 2001 at 6:13 p.m. eastern time.The large white plume is the pillar of smoke and stream left behind by the solid rocket boosters. The very bright dot that exists above the plume is the flame still visible at the base of the rocket boosters. The top of the plume is being directly illuminated by sunlight whereas the bottom portion lies within the Earth’s shadow. The bright orb in the lower right-hand corner of the image is the full sunlit face of the moon which has already risen above the eastern horizon.
The dark cone-shaped feature extending downward towards the moon is the smoke plume shadow, known as the Bugeron Effect (common during sunrise and sunset launches). The Earth, Moon, and Sun were naturally in alignment causing the shadow to appear to end at the moon.

I love your rocket photos (videos also). I am a HS physics teacher and I have put together a lot of galleries (see The Physics Classroom Galleries). Your photos are inspiring me to begin a Rocket Science Gallery. Great work!
