Spaceflight would not be possible without rockets. The Mercury Redstone & Atlas rockets launched our first Astronauts into space. The Saturn V rocket sent Man to the Moon. The Voyager spacecraft launched atop a Titan IIIE rocket and almost 50 years later, have left the solar system. The Space Shuttle launched the Hubble Space Telescope and built the International Space Station. The Falcon 9 rocket continues the mission to the ISS. Soon the SLS rocket will again fly people to the Moon.

The Universe is endless, the wonders you can see just by looking up will take your breath away. I decided to try my hand at astrophotography in 2022. I was quickly overwhelmed by how much I had to learn. Armed with a old Canon T3i camera and a kit lens started shooting easy targets like the moon and the Orion nebula. Over time I learned where deep space targets were, I purchased a star tracker and was given a higher end lens For Christmas. I still have a long way to go but I now have the tools to continue my journey and what a great adventure it is.

I started designing and scratch building models many years ago. I wanted to add a series of space themed models that were not available in stores. I purchased a small 3D printer and began the adventure. It wasn’t long before I learned to do basic auto CAD and create my own models. I wondered if there were other people looking for these models rest is history. I now have models available for most rockets, spacecraft and capsules. I have designed historic launch pad models such as Launch Complex 14 and 34. Spacecraft such as Psyche and Viking Lander missions. If it launched or is currently in space I may have a model of it.
