![]() Several of the educational LEGO sets flew on board the International Space Station (ISS), where they were assembled by astronauts on-orbit along with children and student groups across the country. The LEGO Group released NASA-inspired products in their LEGO CITY line and, together with NASA, developed innovative educational STEM-related activities and products. The LEGO Group donated its life-sized Spirit/Opportunity rover model made of LEGO bricks to the Kennedy Space Center’s Visitors Center, where it remains on view to the public today. Both kits were part of a licensed “Discovery Kids” theme, which sought to connect students with real rather than science-fiction space missions. The LEGO Group also produced a larger, more complex model of Spirit/Opportunity. These mini-characters and the mini-DVD components were made from materials able to withstand the harsh Martian environment.īased on the design information provided by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/Caltech, the LEGO Group released the “LEGO Mars Exploration Rover” kit, which included replicas of the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter, one of the Mars Exploration Rovers, and the Delta II rocket and launch tower that carried both to Mars. ![]() Through the Planetary Society’s “Red Rover Goes to Mars” outreach effort, astrobot mini-characters named Biff Starling (on board Spirit) and Sandy Moondust (on board Opportunity) blogged about their journey to Mars during the initial stages of the mission. ![]() Each rover included construction bricks and an image of an “astrobot” (astronaut robot) brick character affixed to the spacecraft, as well as a CD with a digital list of names from the “Send Your Name to Mars” contest. Soon after the Mars rovers got their names, NASA launched Spirit and Opportunity from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The LEGO Group constructed a life-size model of the NASA Mars Exploration Rover, displayed at several museums, conferences, and public events to promote the “Name the Rovers” competition and the Mars mission. Each DVD carried the names of about 4 million people to two different locations on Mars that, over the course of the rovers’ years-long journeys, would each reveal signs of ancient water, a key ingredient for life as we know it. The LEGO Group also helped NASA to provide an opportunity to “Send Your Name to Mars” on a mini-DVD on board each of the twin rovers. NASA selected the names “Spirit” and “Opportunity” through a student essay contest that drew nearly 10,000 entries. The LEGO Group teamed with the Planetary Society and NASA’s Mars Public Engagement Program to execute a NASA contest to name the Mars Exploration Rovers. ![]() In addition to lesson plans and teacher guides, the series features weekly videos that introduce the LEGO Space Team and their NASA Artemis I team counterparts, helping students better understand STEM space careers and the knowledge and skills that go into completing successful space missions. ![]() Through open-ended lessons, students will get hands-on experience and solve problems similar to those the Artemis I team members face as they build toward launch. Four LEGO minfigures will also fly aboard Orion, packaged along with other mementos selected by the agency to fly on Artemis I, to further connect and engage kids with the educational series and highlight NASA careers. In addition to providing inspiration for several NASA-themed sets over the past several years, NASA has recently partnered with LEGO Education to engage with thousands of educators and students through “Build to Launch,” 10-week digital learning series exploring the technology, STEM concepts and careers behind the Artemis I mission to the Moon. NASA and the LEGO Group have a long history of collaboration on projects that engage children and adults alike to encourage interest in STEM fields and space exploration. ![]() ![]() ![]() Suitable for printing high-quality scanned photos and digitally-captured images.

Shanker then makes a deal with him: Gary does everything Shanker says and helps build modern technology that Shanker passes off as human and in return he releases the aliens. He reveals that he has Scorch's suit on display, claiming that he knew about his work. They take him to Area 51 and after a brief intelligence test, the soldiers send Gary to Shanker's office. However, his ship ended up destroyed and leaving him marooned near the same 7-Eleven where Scorch was abducted but Shanker's men were waiting and end up kidnapping Gary as well. However, word of Scorch's capture reached Planet Baab and his brother, Gary, went to Earth to rescue him. Scorch wakes to see this and demands to be released only to be knocked out once again. Shanked orders his men to open the suit and this reveals a secret compartment which contains a Blubonium reactor (which is apparently 10,000 times more powerful than atomic energy) that was given to him by Lena. while he is left strapped to a table, three aliens who possess telekinesis (the same ones who killed Shanker's father) are removing his suit. However, Scorch is still alive, as Shanker and his men imprisoned him inside Area 51. Shanker holds the unconscious alien close to him and tauntingly says "welcome to Earth." The soldiers then drag Scorch's body to an ice cream truck before Shanker destroys the camera, severing all connections between the Dark Planet and Baab. Shanker's men ambush the alien and although he is able to fight them off, Scorch is quickly surrounded and Shanker is able to hit him from behind with a dart gun. When Scorch lands on the planet with a camera, the first thing he sees is a 7-Eleven and lays eyes on a balloon-man and this serves as a distraction. Shanker sends a decoy distress signal from Earth and it's received by Planet Baab and so they send their hometown hero Scorch Supernova.

It's worth looking out for periodic special offers, but its publishers have built this software for quality, not cheapness. The presets and analog looks are amazing, though Exposure X7's raw processing is not the best and it can be slow to render high-resolution images. Like ON1 Photo RAW 2022, it also offers non-destructive adjustments and 'virtual copies' to try out lots of different looks for a single image without having to save additional files. ![]() Exposure X 7's strengths are its neat, simpler interface, some beautiful effects and presets, and straightforward and effective tools. It doesn't offer image layers (only adjustment layers), so you can't combine photos, but for many photographers that won't matter. It’s a subtle, powerful, and efficient all-in-one photo editing and browsing tool that specializes in analog film effects and comes with a huge library of simple one-click preset effects. Like ON1 Photo RAW 2022, Exposure X7 is a relatively little-known program that deserves a lot more recognition than it gets. It pulls off a particularly amazing trick, incorporating layers, masking, and compositing tools into its fully non-destructive workflow. It has an Edit module with Develop, Effects, Portrait, and Local (adjustment) panels, and the Effects module alone has a vast array of filters that can be adjusted, masked, and combined in an infinite array of permutations. ON1 Photo RAW 2022 has a built-in hybrid browsing and cataloging module that gives you fuss-free exploring of your image folders but more powerful search tools if you need them. There's also an optional ON1 subscription service for Adobe-style image sharing and synchronizing with mobile devices. ![]() ON1 Photo RAW is perhaps the single most complete solution of all the programs here, and the 2022 version is the best yet, with new Sky Replacement AI, the integration of ON1 NoNoise AI, and, with the latest update, the integration of ON1 ReSize AI, previously sold separately. And then there's Perspective Efex, DxO's most recent addition, which offers powerful lens and perspective corrections, tilt-shift effects, and advanced wide-angle distortion correction. You can use the Nik Collection plug-ins with Photoshop, Lightroom, and from within DxO PhotoLab – or use them as external editors with other programs like Capture One. HDR Efex Pro is pretty handy as an HDR merging/effects tool, and while Sharpener Pro and Dfine feel pretty dated now, they can still be useful for output sharpening and noise reduction respectively. Viveza gets the same treatment and is elevated from a relatively simple local adjustment tool into a much more powerful plug-in. Silver Efex Pro remains the best digital black and white plug-in ever and is updated in this version with a fresh, modern interface, a new ClearView option, and more powerful selective control points. Analog Efex Pro is brilliant at analog/darkroom effects, while Color Efex Pro is a hugely powerful suite of filters for individual use or combined into 'recipes'. Nik Collection consists of eight separate plug-ins which can also be used as standalone programs. ![]() ![]() If she had a Death Note, I'd be dead." (Isin 24).
