L_1011.BMF
A Lockheed Martin L-1011 commercial airliner, also known as the TriStar. The plane could seat 400 passengers and had a range of 4,000 nautical miles. Perhaps the most famous TriStar was Eastern Airlines flight 404, which disappeared over the Everglades in 1978. No flight recorder or debris was ever recovered, leading FAA investigators to suspect the plane landed safely. Somewhere. To this day the flight boards at the Miami International Airport list EA 404 as delayed.

A glitchy, low resolution diagram of the International Space Station under construction. The diagram captures none of what would make the space station so notorious in the late 21st century. The gladiator ring, the neural cutout pits, the acid baths, the hospitality chamber.

Hubble Servicing Missi#2575 - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/2c2HUVV
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of NASA's first space servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, we are sharing this gallery of images from all five of the Hubble servicing missions.

Astronauts serviced Hubble for the first time in December 1993. Including that trip, there have been five astronaut servicing missions to Hubble between 1993 and 2009.

How did astronauts repair and service the Hubble Space Telescope more than 300 miles above the surface of the Earth? Watch Hubble astronauts as they discuss servicing from the innovative Robotics Operations Center: bit.ly/2EiiNTP

STS103-713-048 (19-27 December 1999) --- Astronauts Steven L. Smith, and John M. Grunsfeld, appear as small figures in this wide scene photographed during extravehicular activity (EVA). On this space walk they are replacing gyroscopes, contained in rate sensor units (RSU), inside the Hubble Space Telescope. A wide expanse of waters, partially covered by clouds, provides the backdrop for the photograph.

On this day in 1997, Alex Zanardi dominated Mid-Ohio in Chip Ganassi’s Reynard 97i-Honda HRR V8T, securing his 2nd straight win at the track (7th career CART victory) 🥇 Moore (+4.8s) & Rahal completed the podium. Zanardi’s 1997 tear included 5 wins in 6 races—en route to the championship. #IndyCar

CAR_RACE.BMF
A racing-themed page border. A yellow Formula One car sits in three-quarters profile on the lower left, as if ready to speed across the page. Colored pennants signifying the finish line flutter in the upper right corner. Checkered flags fill up the rest of the border. The center of the page is blank, for now, but the words “Happy Birthday Evan!” will soon fill the empty space, and the sign will hang in the dining room of the Slife residence, printed on twelve pieces of paper taped together. When Evan blows out ten candles on his similarly racing-themed birthday cake, Dr. Slife looks on with fatherly pride. A perfect day. It isn’t until Slife looks up and sees in the corner an uninvited guest, a lithe figure clothed in green mouthing the words, “I am Cutty Soames,” that Slife’s bladder undoes itself and the party goes south.

A meme image made from a low quality, pixelated, behind the scenes photo of Patrick Stewart in costume as Captain Picard from an episode of Star Trek TNG. He's got an angry expression with his mouth open in a snarl, like he's yelling at someone, and he's got his right hand up, giving the middle finger to someone. A caption has been edited into the image next to him, in a pixelated font: "Support trans rights or FUCK OFF." The caption's lettering is all black except for "fuck off," which is a red-purple ombre. Next to the caption are small trans pride flags and hearts in the trans pride colors. The whole picture has a dreamy quality, with small sparkles here and there.

The coat of arms of New York State. Jack shrugs when he sees it. The ships on the river, the sun rising behind a mountain range, the ladies on either side representing Liberty and Justice, respectively—none of it speaks to Jack. He yawns. This is not the New York he knows. Where’s the leather? The dungeons?

F16TOFF.BMF
A gray scale illustration of an F-16 fighter jet preparing for takeoff. It’s a routine training mission, but the pilot has a moment of terror at 55,000 feet when black sludge begins pouring into the cockpit. The sulfurous goo drips from the dome onto the dashboard and bubbles up from below, covering his feet, his calves, his thighs. When the pilot touches down 45 minutes later, it’s an absolutely perfect landing.

Just makes me think of Alan Kulwicki, Davey Allison and just last year the Greg Biffle tragedy. All deaths off the track, you can rationalize a death on the track (that's their job, they love racing, safety has improved so much but auto racing is still dangerous).
