  • In a sterile clean room, one module section of the European Space Agency's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) called Jules Verne, is under construction by technicians of an integration team at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The ATV cargo carrier is the world's largest and most complex orbiting spacecraft and is a new series of autonomous spaceships designed to re-supply the International Space Station with replacement cargo, propellant, water and oxygen to the orbital outpost. Launched in March 2008 and self-destructed with waste during its return to earth's atmosphere that September, it delivered 4.6 tonnes of payload to the ISS, including 1,150 kg of dry cargo, 856 kg of propellant for the Russian Zvezda module, 270 kg of drinking water and 21 kg of oxygen.

  • A full-scale mock-up of a multinational 50.5 meter-high European Space Agency's (ESA) Ariane 5 rocket is lit by floodlights in an early tropical evening at the main entrance to Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French Guiana, South America. Glowing orange by the warm lighting, it makes an impressive model against the fading equatorial sky. Seen in scale, a lone human figure stands at the foot of the launcher that in reality, sends massive 8,000 kg payloads into orbit for a variety of communications and International Space Station purposes. Powered by Snecma-made Vulcain engines and boosted by Europropulsion solid motors, these rockets are launched from this facility on the Guiana coast. The building to the left are the CNES offices belong to the French Space Agency.

  • Hours before a European Space Agency Ariane 5 rocket launch, a computer monitor displays cryogenic data at the CDL3 launch centre at ESA's Space Centre at Kourou, French Guiana. It shows the status of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellant systems within a Vulcain engine. Stored in the launcher tanks and fed to the engine, they react chemically and expand in the engine combustion chamber then forced through the nozzle to provide the thrust that propels the vehicle into orbit. Cryogenic engines utilise propellants that are liquid under cryogenic conditions, at a temperature much lower than normal ambient conditions (-251°C for hydrogen and -184°C for oxygen). The advantage of cryogenic propellants is that they provide the highest thrust performance. .

  • Standing on weathered concrete at an old launchpad from a bygone age, space tourists stop to photograph the current Ariane 5 launchpad while on a tour of the European Space Agency at Kourou, French Guiana. They are mostly Japanese, representing their B-SAT communications satellite which is to be sent into orbit later that night alongside a US-made Hughes Corporation and Lockheed Martin technology. An American NASA space technician walks past the four Japanese as they hold cameras that record their souvenirs of a memorable day at this space facility deep in the South American rainforest. The orange bags carried by all are gas masks. Should the out of sight rocket booster explode or leak liguid propellant, dangerous fumes might overcome the visitors.

  • The writer, essayist and philosopher Alain de Botton stands in front of a mural of a Soyuz rocket of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roskosmos) taking off from a mobile gantry at the European Space Agency (ESA). De Botton is in French Guiana researching his book 'The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work' published in April 2009. The illustration celebrates a future Russian mission if construction of their new facilities continues with the help of the French and other space agencies. Cosmonauts and technicians will ooccupy a purpose-built town near ESA's rocket complex. Alain de Botton (born Zurich, 1969) now lives in London. His best-selling books refer both to his own experiences and ideas- and those of artists, philosophers and thinkers. It's a style of writing that has been termed a 'philosophy of everyday life.'

  • Lingerie-clad models stage a protest by the animal rights organisation, Peta against the suffering of animals, on 17th Febriary 2017, in London, England, United Kingdom. The group stripped off into matching green underwear and crocodile masks before posing outside the show's main venue on the Strand in central London. Peta is campaigning against the use of exotic animal skins in the fashion industry. It follows an investigation of crocodile farms which found animals were confined to pits and sometimes still alive when their skin was torn off, Peta said. London Fashion Week is a clothing trade show held in London twice each year, in February and September. It is one of the "Big Four" fashion weeks, along with the New York, Milan and Paris. The fashion sector plays a significant role in the UK economy with London Fashion Week alone estimated to rake in £269 million each season. The six-day industry event allows designers to show their collections to buyers, journalists and celebrities and also maintains the city’s status as a top fashion capital.

  • Barclays rental Boris Bikes stationed on dock in Soho Square, London...Barclays Cycle Hire is a public bicycle sharing scheme that was launched on 30 July 2010 in London, UK. At launch there were 315 bicycle docking stations and 5,000 bicycles available in central London. The scheme is also informally called the Boris Bike scheme after mayor Boris Johnson, who was in office at the time the scheme opened to the public. The project initially covered about 17 square miles (44 square kilometres) of central London - roughly the same area as the 'Zone 1' Travelcard area (covering the whole of the City of London and parts of eight London boroughs)[5]  and will cost an estimated £140 million (more than £20,000 per available bike) over six years. It is expected to pay for itself over time.[6] Barclays' contribution is £25 million.[The bicycles and the docking stations are built in Canada and are based on Bixi, Montreal's bicycle rental system. Fitzrovia, Wells Street docking station being installed. Over 500,000 bicycle trips were made within the first six weeks of the launch of the scheme.

  • Barclays rental Boris Bikes stationed on dock in Soho Squre, London...Barclays Cycle Hire is a public bicycle sharing scheme that was launched on 30 July 2010 in London, UK. At launch there were 315 bicycle docking stations and 5,000 bicycles available in central London. The scheme is also informally called the Boris Bike scheme after mayor Boris Johnson, who was in office at the time the scheme opened to the public. The project initially covered about 17 square miles (44 square kilometres) of central London - roughly the same area as the 'Zone 1' Travelcard area (covering the whole of the City of London and parts of eight London boroughs)[5]  and will cost an estimated £140 million (more than £20,000 per available bike) over six years.

  • Virgin boss, Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic directors Will Whitehorn and Stephen Attenborough, talk to the media during the unveiling of their SpaceShipTwo concept model's unveiling at the New York Wired NextFest at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.  Now under construction by Burt Rutan in Mojave, California and looking more like a Stanley Kubrick movie set from '2001 A Space Odyssey,' than the future for everyday holidays, SpaceShipTwo is a re-usable orbiting vehicle that will become an important tool for Man's leisure time in space when affordable commercial space tourism starts in around 2009.  .Aboard the re-usable space vehicle will be 6 passengers, each of whom will have paid $200,000 for the 40 minute flight to 360,000 feet (109.73km, or 68.18 miles) and to experience just 6 minutes of weighlessness..Launched in September 2004 by Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic will invest up to $250 million to develop the world's first commercial space tourism business with the building, testing and flying of five space shipShipTwos and two mother ships.  It is expected that within the first full year of commercial operations Virgin Galactic will enable 500 people to fulfil their dreams of becoming astronauts; in the last 4 decades the world has seen fewer than 500 astronauts. Flights start around 2009..28/09/2006
