“FUTURE SPACE STATION CONCEPT---In the summer of 1982 NASA sponsored industry studies to examine mission requirements for a possible U.S. space station. The studies analyzed future missions in space to determine what attributes a space station would have to have to fulfill these missions. While the studies focused on mission requirements and appropriate space station 'architecture,' several renderings were produced to enable a possible station configuration to be envisioned. This picture, an artist’s concept, portrays one possible space station, as conceived by Rockwell International’s North American Space Operations Division.

The picture shows a mature space station configuration, which includes two solar panels to provide power; several modules for command, habitation and experimental activity; a Shuttle-sized unpressurized rack for storage of payloads; advanced remote manipulator systems for the assembly of large structures and servicing/storage of satellites and instruments; and a locking/utility hub that might serve in addition as a 'safe haven' in case of emergency.

Attached to the station in this picture is a Shuttle orbiter. The Space Shuttle would periodically visit the space station, delivering new crews, supplies, and payloads as required.

Also shown in this picture is an Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV) delivering an advanced communications satellite to geosynchronous orbit. Such a vehicle could be space-based at the station, providing a significant gain in economy and capability.”

How the fuck am I supposed to meet a fellow lesbian and then convince her to date me

Don't know anything about lesbians, but maybe if you walked around carrying a baseball bat that'd be really bad ass.

You know what I've never really seen realistically depicted in fiction? The way that people in places that get a huge amount of snow deal with said snow. Specifically in the cities. I get that it's probably not exactly an intuitive thing to think about if you've never lived in a place that gets a lot of snow, and even if you do, you probably figure that they must have some really sophisticated infrastructure systems specifically for this purpose. It's not like they'll just scoop the snow off the streets and gather it into huge piles, and then just climb over the progressively larger and larger snow piles every single year for months while waiting for the piles to melt in the spring.

We do. There's no point in planning more sophisticated systems to get rid of something that'll eventually just go away on its own. So they just pile the snow into randomly designated spaces that cars or people aren't supposed to go through, and let it pile up. There's significantly less street parking available in the winter because some spots where you could otherwise park a car are currently the parking spot of a snow pile three times taller than a car.

You get used to it. And if you grow up around here, it never even occurs to you to think of it as something strange in the first place.

Finally posting my pride challenge art made by apl.eye on instagram! I'll be posting my own for the day plus the one made on the corresponding day I missed. Enjoy!

(also the third is because I misunderstood the prompt and just drew my first ship, ever)

-deep breath-

A 'no questions asked' food pantry means no questions asked.

When we're stocking our pantry, we are not looking at a person's clothes or their accessories or what kind of car they drove there in. We are HAPPY to see it BEING USED AT ALL.

I don't know anyone's situation. Maybe they got that designer bag at a thrift shop. Maybe its a knockoff. Maybe it was a gift. Maybe they got it when they had money and now they don't have money. Maybe they're getting stuff for a friend.

Maybe they have plenty of money, don't need to be taking stuff from the pantry, but they are anyway because we said-

NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Do you know what happens when someone takes from our pantry when they don't need it? We're down one item. But maybe they tell someone that the pantry is there. Or maybe they come back to it when they need it. Or maybe they throw a dollar in the donation box. Or maybe they put an item on the shelf. Or maybe they come to our food drive.

WE DONT CARE.

We don't care who used it.

We care that it was used.

Im not a cop. Don't make me do cop stuff, I wont do it.
