The prospector stood at the ridge, scanning the barren expanse of the planet’s surface. The horizon was quiet, but too close for comfort—just a few hundred klicks east lay the territory claimed by another company. He glanced back at the droid, old but efficient, burrowing into the ground and retrieving core samples. He didn’t know what they were looking for exactly—just that the payout was worth the risk. Each sample pulled from the depths might hold something valuable... or nothing at all. Either way, he had to stay ahead of the competition, and time wasn’t on his side.

This speeder was a lot of fun to make. Really difficult to get all the details as close as I wanted. Not quite there, but I'm happy with the result.
Also if anyone knows who made the droid before me, let me know so I can give due credit. I think I've seen it done by someone else.
This was the home of Michael Derek Elworthy Jarman. 31st January 1942 to 19th February 1994.
He was an English film director, stage designer, diarist, artist, gardener and author.
On 22nd December 1986 he was diagnosed as HIV positive. His illness prompted him to move to Prospect Cottage. Here he created his famous garden using the plants that naturally grew at Dungeness.
In 1994 he died of an AIDS related illness in London aged just 52.
There is a poem on the side of the cottage which is the first stanza and the last five lines of the last stanza of John Donne's poem The Rising Sun.
THE SUN RISING.
by John Donne
BUSY old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
In that the world's contracted thus;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere.
The combination of morphological and topographic information from stereo images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, as well as compositional data from near-infrared spectroscopy has been proven to be a powerful tool for understanding the geology of Mars.
Beginning with the OMEGA instrument on the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter in 2003, the surface of Mars has been examined at near-infrared wavelengths by imaging spectrometers that are capable of detecting specific minerals and mapping their spatial extent. The CRISM (Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars) instrument on our orbiter is a visible/near-infrared imaging spectrometer, and the HiRISE camera works together with it to document the appearance of mineral deposits detected by this orbital prospecting.
Mawrth Vallis is one of the regions on Mars that has attracted much attention because of the nature and diversity of the minerals identified by these spectrometers. It is a large, ancient outflow channel on the margin of the Southern highlands and Northern lowlands. Both the OMEGA and CRISM instruments have detected clay minerals here that must have been deposited in a water-rich environment, probably more than 4 billion years ago. For this reason, Mawrth Vallis is one of the two candidate landing sites for the future Mars Express Rover Mission planned by the European Space Agency.
This image was targeted on a location where the CRISM instrument detected a specific mineral called alunite, KAl3(SO4)2(OH)6. Alunite is a hydrated aluminum potassium sulfate, a mineral that is notable because it must have been deposited in a wet acidic environment, rich in sulfuric acid. Our image shows that the deposit is bright and colorful, and extensively fractured. The width of the cutout is 1.2 kilometers.

Prospect Cottage, built in 1900, was home to Derek Jarman (1942-94), the radical film director, cinematographer, stage designer, diarist, painter, gardener, author and gay rights activist. He moved here in 1986 when he was seriously ill and knew that time was not on his side.
Among Jarman’s films were Sebastiane, The Tempest, War Requiem and Caravaggio; the actors who worked for him included Laurence Olivier (in his last film appearance), Judi Dench, Sean Bean, Robbie Coltrane, Toya Wilcox and Tilda Swinton.
At Dungeness, Jarman moved into his unassuming wooden cottage (which he desribed as 'a beaut, a gem') and set about creating his shingle garden, largely by collecting and arranging flotsam washed up onto the beach in front of the house. He made sculptures from stones and he introduced salt-tolerant beach plants, all to great effect. Today, the cottage and garden are much as he left them.
Prospect is a Canadian coastal community on the Chebucto Peninsula in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality.
It borders the Atlantic Ocean approximately 23 kilometers southwest of Halifax off the Prospect Bay Road.

Cleveland, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2024
Prospect Avenue (which includes the W Prospect Ave section west of Public Square) is a key historic thoroughfare running through downtown and eastern Cleveland, Ohio.
Characteristics and Sections
Central Location: The avenue begins near Public Square (the city's central plaza) and extends eastward.
The West Section (W Prospect Ave): The section designated West Prospect Avenue is very short, as the street primarily lies to the east (East Prospect Avenue). The area near Public Square is anchored by major early 20th-century buildings, including the former May Company department store building, which features façades on both Euclid and Prospect Avenues.
The East Section (E Prospect Ave): This is the more extensive and dynamic portion. It runs through several key districts, notably:
Gateway District: Lying very close to the sports venues (Progressive Field and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse).
Playhouse Square: Running just south of the famous theater district.
Cleveland State University (CSU): The avenue runs directly through the CSU campus, with the Wolstein Center (the university's arena and event venue) as a major landmark.
Historical Housing: In the farther eastern downtown and Midtown areas, remnants of its residential past, such as the historic Prospect Avenue Row Houses, can still be seen.
Historical Significance
Prospect Avenue was long considered the chief rival to the more opulent Euclid Avenue as a fashionable residential street before gradually giving way to commercial development and, more recently, being the focus of revitalization efforts driven by the university and the conversion of historic buildings into downtown apartments.

One of those Lighthouses in Maine you really need to look for while driving through Maine.
The small village of Prospect Harbor developed a substantial fishing fleet in the nineteenth century. The first lighthouse to mark the east side of the harbor entrance was built in 1850. The light was deactivated between 1859 and 1870, because "the harbor is not used as a harbor of refuge, and the village near which it is situated has only a small coasting trade." Evidently, the use of the harbor increased, as in 1870 the Lighthouse Board announced that the light was reactivated on May 15 "to serve as a guide to the harbor of refuge which it marks."
The original granite lighthouse attached to the keeper's house was replaced in 1891 by the present 38-foot wood lighthouse with a fifth order Fresnel lens, and a new 1 1/2 story farmhouse-style keeper's house. The house and tower were at first attached by a covered passageway, but the passageway was later removed. A stone oil house was added in 1905, and for a time the station had an active fog bell.
The light was automated in 1934, but a keeper (John Workman) remained at the station until 1953. In 1951 the Fresnel lens was replaced.
The light remains an active aid to navigation, while the surrounding grounds and buildings belong to the U.S. Navy; the lighthouse is on the grounds of a Navy installation.

Prospect Harbor Lighthouse, perched on the east side of the entrance to Prospect Harbor, Maine, was originally established on April 2, 1849 after $4,968.17 had been spent on its construction.
The original lighthouse took the form of a granite conical tower attached to a one-and-a-half-story granite keeper’s dwelling. Samuel H. Sargent replaced Nathaniel Noyes, the first person appointed keeper of the lighthouse, in March 1849.
