Armadillo Aerospace Pixel hover[edit]

Original - Armadillo Aerospace's "Pixel" in test flights before the 2006 Lunar Lander Challenge
Reason
Action shot of a rocket in preparation for competition. I particularly like the optical effects produced by the extreme heat and airflow.

  • Comment I'd really like to see the top of the unit; the image does not clearly show that it is hovering (it could be attatched to a crane or something like that).--HereToHelp (talk to me) 00:48, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It is attached to a crane, and the entire vehicle is visible in the photo. There are other images which show more of the harness, but, with a wider view, the emphasis on the rocket engine is lost. Wronkiew (talk) 06:34, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    But then it's not hovering, is it? This image is much more enc for that purpose.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 15:57, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a captive hover. Perhaps a title change would help to clear things up. How about "Armadillo Aerospace Pixel captive flight test"? Wronkiew (talk) 00:20, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps, but I was hoping for a real hover...--HereToHelp (talk to me) 03:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Not as sharp as I'd like but good encyclopedic value for this experimental engine. Fletcher (talk) 13:11, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support Great EV, although, as stated previously, lacking minorly in sharpness. Elucidate (parlez à moi) Ici pour humor 15:11, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Out of all of the nominations I have seen before this picture, by far the best. Action packed, intersting and visually stunning. A picture that makes you stop and stare at it a second. LCpl Stephen Bolin, USMC (talk) 22:15, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Support This is a picture that makes you want to sit there and pick out all the minor details.Wikiman53195 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki53195 (talk • contribs) 22:47, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
