Rewatching Stasis Leak. I think it would've been interesting if Rimmer got the idea of trying to repair the drive plate from his future self.

We never find out how a soup vending machine technician came to try to repair something as important a faulty drive plate, but maybe Rimmer thought he could save himself and everyone else if he fixed the component before it caused a massive radiation leak.

Instead, it causes a time loop. Rimmer goes back in time to try to warn himself about the radiation leak, but instead of escaping into the spare stasis pod Past Rimmer tries to repair the drive plate himself, causing the accident.

This idea doesn't actually fit in with the dialogue of the actual episode as Future Rimmer doesn't even mention the radiation leak, but I think it could've been a fun idea.

It would provide another contrast to Lister, whose time loop means he is his own dad. Lister's time loop gives him life, while Rimmer's loop gives him death.

Sun and Moon.

Red dwarf graduation cap!!!! Im so pleased with how it turned out

[Image ID: two photos of the top of a graduation cap, decorated with a colored drawing of the ship Red Dwarf, from the tv show Red Dwarf. Text on the cap reads "Smeg Head 2025". The first photo is taken at a work table indoors, and the second photo is outside. the second photo also shows a blue and white tassel attached to the cap.]

Couple of progress photos under the cut!

June is, of course, Pride Month, but it is also the month during which I first watched The Promised Land which is essentially the same thing

Artemis Astronauts Have Drills, Too!

Chances are, if you have ever spent time in a school or office building, you have experienced a fire drill. Well, astronauts practice emergency drills, too!

Since we began sending astronauts to space, we have used systems and drills to practice moving people safely away from the launch pad in the unlikely event of an emergency during the countdown to launch.

Early Mercury and Gemini programs in the 1960s used a launch escape system in the form of a solid rocket motor that could pull the astronauts to safety in the event of an emergency. However, this system only accounted for the astronauts, and not other personnel at the launch pad. NASA’s emergency systems have since improved substantially to include everyone.

Artemis II will be NASA’s first mission with crew aboard the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft. Artemis II will fly around the Moon and come back to Earth. Beginning with the Artemis II mission, we will use a track cable to connect the mobile launcher — the ground structure that supports the rocket before and during launch — to the perimeter of the launch pad. Picture a gondola ski lift beginning at the top of the rocket and ending all the way down to the ground. In case of an emergency, astronauts and support crews move from the capsule into the crew access arm, climb into one of four baskets waiting for them, and ride down to the ground.

There, members of the Pad Rescue team are ready to scoop the astronauts up and whisk them to safety. Think of the Pad Rescue team as spaceflight knights in shining armor. Except instead of saving crew from a fire breathing dragon, they are whisking the astronauts away from a fully loaded skyscraper-sized rocket that’s getting ready to lift off.

The Artemis II mission will also introduce several new ground systems for the first time – including the new and improved braking system similar to what roller coasters use! Though no NASA mission to date has needed to use its ground-based emergency system during launch countdown, those safety measures are still in place and maintained as a top priority.

So the next time you practice a fire drill at school or at work, remember that these emergency procedures are important for everyone to stay safe — even astronauts.

Fave casual fits.

I didn't initially want to color these, but I had time and haven't drawn the boys in color yet, so I thought what the hell.

The way Lister intervenes straight away when the Outland Revenue catch up with Rimmer in Better Than Life is actually kind of sweet. Is it fake video game money he's using to pay off the taxman? Yes. But is it his own fun experience he's sacrificing to try and help Rimmer have a good time, too? Also yes.
