It’s Spacetober again and today’s prompt is Launch, so here is my artwork, Shuttle Night Launch, acrylic on stretched canvas. #Spacetober

The Thalia bookstore in Darmstadt is now not only mixing science fiction with fantasy, but naming the whole section as just fantasy. Truly the Dark Times are upon us.

This is Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov. On this day, 42 years ago, he saved your life and the lives of everyone you love. He saved the world. Google his name.

A few more views of Nightfall. And a friendly reminder, that my Markers setup for Blender is free on my Gumroad, link in the reply below.

Not seen this one for a while. An old render for Ocean of Storms by @brandonwnichols.bsky.social showing an Apollo crew driving to their cargo LEM at the start of their surface mission.

Coming up tonight at 19:19 BST/20:19 CEST: the September #Equinox! This image from Meteosat-12, taken this morning, shows Earth near the equinox - when the terminator appears as a straight line dividing the planet into equal halves of light and dark. @wmo-global.bsky.social @eumetsat.int

Definitely true. Father Ted was gentle, thoughtful and funny.

On this day in 1898 Southampton FC played their first game at the Dell. This photo was taken looking towards the Milton Road end as Saints beat Brighton United 4-1. The Dell would be home to the club until 2001. I wrote a history of the iconic ground a while ago: historicsouthampton.co.uk/the-dell/

<BANGS ON POT> Season Finale is up. And it is a corker, if I say so meself.

Nice find in a local book giveaway, a book on Apollo written in 1969. Not bad for free.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

The flag “debate” is simple. Is flying an England flag inherently racist? Obviously not. Are the people currently doing it en masse racist? Clearly yes.

"The real business here is moral. It's about the soul of the fucking country. If Labour needed to take damage in order to stand up for basic decency [...] then I would expect to see them fucking do it without the need for a self-serving argument to justify it." Here here!

My daughter made a lego spaceship, so of course I tried to make it in Blender.

@gaghyogi49.bsky.social, do the tram stops in your town sometimes show starships, like they do in Darmstadt?

#OTD in 1978, Sigmund Jähn became the first German cosmonaut, when he flew aboard the Soyuz 31 spacecraft to the Salyut 6 space station. He and cosmonaut Valeriy Bykovskiy spent almost eight days on the station. It was the third crewed Intercosmos mission.

The new Soviet Space Substack is out! graphicsnickstevens.substack.com/p/cosmonauts... Lots of different subjects covered, and I'm looking for feedback on what direction to take the publication.

Another shot in earth orbit covering the entire ship this time. Have a nice weekend everyone! #space #scifi #scifiart #spacecraft

I've done so many of these launch images over the years, I've organised them all into a DA gallery: www.deviantart.com/aedwardbaker...

Gorgeous stuff.

My interpretation of one of the "Big Mir-2" designs from the late '80s, using large modules launched by Energia. Kit-bashed from various Blender models I already had.

Just remember adding the VO and song from the beginning of Highlander to the Teletubbies intro makes it epic.

Yes, I’m pissed. Wanna fight?!

Your friendly reminder that humanity currently has two permanently crewed space stations, and that is awesome.

Just to say, I haven’t read, I don’t understand, so on the same basis as you claim I’ve agreed, I state I have not.
