Rocket surgery.

[nelc]

The artist shows here a hypothetical spaceship, based on the V-2 design, and incorporating many fully tested devices and principles. The hull is essentially a cylindrical, stressed skin structure, 80' long and 10' feet in outside diameter. It is double walled, with very efficient insulation. The extreme nose contains a series of glass fiber parachutes to be used for vertical stabilization in atmospheric landings, with actual deceleration effected by the main jet. Below the chute hold is space for recording cameras, cosmic ray detectors, and other instruments. Beneath this is the upper deck of the pressurized control cabin. Next is a compartment packed with mechanisms; autopilot, gyrostabilizer, air and temperature control plant, radio and radar installations, etc. An airlock gives access to the outside through a two-piece door, the lower port of which serves as a platform when open. Below the crew space the fuel and oxidizer tanks occupy more than a third of the ship's length, and beneath them is the rocket engine, with its pumps and plumbing. Worm gear driven tubular legs in the fins permit leveling the ship on rough ground for the return take-off.

Image description: 25 men in green shirts pose around a cake decorated with a drawing of the flight deck and the words “GEAR V-2 RATS / 200,000TH TRAP / 7 JAN 1983.” They are in a room with chalkboards on two walls. A pair of red ear-protection headphones hangs from the ceiling. A cut-out photo of a woman is on the face of the clock.

The fact that Aziraphale emerges from this flashback

Makes this face

and then with a ginormous gap on the right side of the screen, proceeds to be like "I must call Crowley right now immediately."

This one youtuber is making polls asking who would win between Arthur Morgan and different insanely powerful characters and he keeps winning until it gets to Tuberculosis. Reason being because he can't use deadeye on it.

Other fanart I've done recently.

Crossposting is annoying but the resolution on Insta images will never not bother me. Hope Bluesky app works out (@danaterrace there as well).
