Today, I had the pleasure to attend a special tour over the #Tsukuba Space Center. There, we visited the Astronaut Training Center 👨‍🚀 as well as the Mission Control Center for the Japanese ISS module Kibo 🛰️.

This tour was kindly organized by the colleagues from #JAXA.

ありがとう!

Sieht doch ganz okay aus. Hätte ich früher an die kleinen Würfel gedacht, hätte ich die genommen. Dann wäre er nicht ganz so blockig.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene at what appears to be an exhibition or event. At the center of the photo, there is a large satellite dish structure mounted on what looks like a mobile platform with wheels, suggesting that it might be moved for demonstration purposes.

In the background, there are several people standing and walking around; some are holding umbrellas, indicating that it may be raining or overcast. The umbrellas vary in color and size, adding to the overall atmosphere of the scene. There's also a clock visible in the distance, providing a sense of scale for the event.

The text on the image indicates that this is an "Ed van der Elsken, 1985" photograph taken at a world exhibition in Tsukuba. The text is clear and legible, making it easy to read for visually impaired users who rely on screen readers or other assistive technology.

This is a black and white photograph showing a large open area with multiple rows of seating structures. The seating appears to be for an audience or spectators, possibly for an event or show. There are numerous people scattered throughout the space, some closer to the camera and others further away. The perspective is slightly elevated, looking down on the scene from above. Due to rain or moisture on the lens, the image has a noticeable water droplet pattern across it, which adds texture to the composition. There are no visible texts in the image to provide additional context or information about the location or event taking place. The style of the photograph suggests an artistic approach, capturing not just the scene but also the atmosphere created by the rain and the anticipation of the event.

The image is a black and white photograph capturing a lively street scene. There's a large stone statue of a man's face, possibly a monument or part of an exhibition, in the background. People are walking past this statue, some carrying umbrellas, which might suggest recent rain. A sign for the Shueisha Pavilion is visible among the crowd, indicating a specific location within the scene. The composition and style of the photograph suggest it was taken during a special event or exhibition, possibly at Tsukuba in 1985.

Back at my old #GT7 BS, building smol pretend race cars. This week it's been the surprisingly chuckable #Daihatsu #Copen which is great around #Tsukuba and other technical courses, but it's no powerhouse.

Started laying down a livery for it as well, using a proper SVG editor (#Inkscape) so I can start getting to grips with that for a bit.
