You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty

4D worm invasion

haumea (made this in november, so i do have something separate planned for christmas)

10 MW Nuclear-Electric Propulsion for Mars missions: pubs.aip.org/aip/acp/arti... 5000s Isp hydrogen MPD thrusters are powered by Brayton turbine-generators heated by 1600K reactors. Heavy shielding, cold radiators and meek PMADs bring propulsion power density down to 123-140 W/kg.

This would absolutely do it for some of you

people in the year 100,000,000 changing all their textbooks and websites and whatnot to update the age of the universe from 13.8 billion years to 13.9 billion years

Seeing a lot of people on Twitter spreading misinfo about Bluesky as cope for feeling compelled to stay on there lmao

Thinking of how the nuclear test scene in Oppenheimer is clearly just a gasoline explosion really close up and how it kind of ruins the moment if you've ever actually watched nuclear test footage and know how a nuclear fireball actually looks

electric spacecraft propulsion is so wonderful. i hope i live to see at least one bizarre NEP probe launched to visit the outer solar system

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Materials that escaped one planet can eventually find itself on another. For Terra, no world is a bigger recipient of these letters than their own moon, Luna. More information in ALT TEXT! #ACelestialJournal #art #gijinka #astronomy #space #SolarSystem #planet #Earth #Terra #Moon #Luna

The best I can do for a holiday gift for you all today is this to-scale representation I've made of Robert H. Frisbee's infamous antimatter starship idea (www.projectrho.com/public_html/...) (it's so cursed omg i can't even with how stupidly l o n g this thing is):

every drawing i do always takes like 4-5x longer than i hope it does 😔

they should invent a machine

Perhaps the most exhausting part of being trans in 2025 is how harshly you will be sanctioned if you express even, like, 10% of the rage it is entirely normal to feel at the attempt to erase us from public life

#umamusume earth but horse but girl

i always headcanoned that in KSP the Kerbals still had like cities and a society and culture etc beyond spaceflight and the space centre, but because KSP is a videogame with limited scope we just don't get to see any of it

scientists discover planet covered entirely in teeth

The Shkadov Thrusters would be a beautiful name for a baseball team

Kerbal firemaid!

You can actually accelerate up to the speed of light, once you reach a gamma of 1.8e+308 it breaks and rolls over to 'infinity'

At current rates, by 2028 they might be releasing Blender version 8.0

i hope next year i can make more art

Contact your representatives to ensure they won't let this pass you can find your Senators here:

Venusian sunshades. 250 million km² of micron-thick foil suspended in a careful balance amongst the sunbeams. Unfortunately due to a tumultuous history it has suffered some damages. The meagre amount of light slipping through its wounds is just enough to prevent Hell from fully freezing over. #art

More from the backlog -- not quite sure when, TBH. This one is pretty old but has held up reasonably well.

they changed the main image on the wikipedia page for Venus... rip the featureless white orb

“If £1b were to suddenly appear in their bank account, would euthanasia still be necessary? “If the answer is no, that's not euthanasia; it's social murder.”

because my powerplant dolls setting is rotating in my mind again, have this from last year

Your reminder that the phrase "renewable energy" (as opposed to "green industry") is a fossil fuel industry op to exclude nuclear but include biofuels

A bit more art from the backlog -- a fun little one day piece from last year.

This is the end result of 'unofficially' and officially banning trans people from all public spaces through direct legislation and cultural inertia: We will die. And that is the goal: Fucking genocide.

they should make plushies of these guys

Exploring Witch King's War-era military facilities is not a good life choice, but people do it anyway. These guys are going to have a very bad time.

A bit of worldbuilding-related WIP stuff for my personal project (TTT) featuring my beloved 5th-Percentile Morlock/Queensland Gollum.

America be like: "today we are passing the 'nigga we are going to destroy all hopes and dreams act' and liberals will be like: "wuh woh, that's not good, time to ratio the white house on twitter"

A few more Mothership-related pieces from the past few days (the raider again and the fighter).

And some solipsistic fanart of my own work in the Shipbreaker's Toolkit (again, Mothership). This processing setup has proved to be really fun and has produced a lot of neat illustrations in the past week or two -- this will be the first of many, hopefully.

People keep asking me if I have socials. Current socials? No. This is another attempt to change that. It is also a new front in the TTT worldbuilding project/insufferable ARG. To start out, a little bit of commissioned work for various third party Mothership projects.

spaceship from a short story i've been writing recently about people having an unpleasant time in the hours leading up to a Big Rip scenario

imagine if there's some alien civilisation out there whose units of measurement, through sheer historical coincidence, happen to line up weirdly closely to various fundamental physical constants. and as a result they're getting pretty freaked out over it

help,

We actually should not have empathy for people who subjugate children to their own torturous personal beliefs. These children suffered just as much pain and permanent disability as if they had been severely physically abused. This is not an innocent mistake. A functioning society cannot allow this.

It's actually pretty cool to be able to remotely control a robot and could be useful for dangerous work (bomb squad, radioactive materials, etc), but it's wasted on pretending AI is real.
