More work on the Ed Valigursky Red Sphere Moon Lander.

Roughing out the legs - I want to get them right before I cut holes in the hull for them.

Now seems an opportune moment to revisit one of the best books about the Apollo programme. Quirky, innovative, and utterly memorable. A literary time capsule. #Artemis #ArtemisII

An unrolled thread on "new" Russian fantasy plans for their own return to the Moon.

A lunar base has been about 20 years off since the early seventies, it never gets closer.

Spectacular photo taken by the Artemis II crew yesterday while in the shadow of the Moon! The solar corona, stars, and some earthshine! Amazing!

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5.

My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Watch 1 minute and 50 seconds of the Artemis II launch from the Orion capsule, including booster separation and adapter panel jettison...

...set to "No Time for Caution" from the Interstellar score.

My processed image of the JWST observation of Sharpless 305, a star-forming region inside our Milky Way! 🔭

This emission nebula is located ~14,000 light-years away, with several dozens of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) having been discovered inside this nebula.

The crown and the staff give this lich concept so much presence and power. Wonderful work by John Patrick Gañas.

So...

Trump clearly needs the Gulf States onside.

What does he say to Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ?

'He didn't think he'd be kissing my ass'

Stumpy fingered vulgarian indeed.

Bone spurs, meet Bone Saws.

Space art in its roots has been an effort to anticipate sights that future space travelers may one day see. In the late 1940s Chesley Bonestell painted a moonlit Earth that appeared in 'The Conquest of Space'. This modest work shows a view broadly similar to that revealed in the new Artemis photo.

I was sad to hear that Glen Baxter died recently... I've long had a soft spot for his gentle weirdness.
