i blasted some sort of entity, but it got away! speed was of the essence to stop it before it did more damage -- would the elevators be set to *easy listening* !!??? i went deep down to the engine levels as a hunted for this fiend.
of course before that i stopped to get my hair done, it was getting awfully messy from all the space suits and running around. sure i had to stop the entity, but i wanted to look good as i did!
the pistol, incidentally, is a fast (very fast, lol) tweak of a free, full perm Han Solo star wars blaster. i just didn't want it to look exactly like that. the other thing about this gun - well almost any gun - its hard to get the hand grip exactly right for a picture. in this case i just made the grip a little thicker with the magic of photoshop, so the three fingers look like they are curled around it. that came out well. i also had to move the trigger finger up a bit - i think that came out okay - to me the trigger finger looks a tad long, but, its okay.
i also tried to make a new thumb (the pose put the thumb half into the grip, so it wasn't a question of moving it. if i had thought this through i would have taken two shots in this pose, with and without and the gun, to give me a thumb to work with. i tried having the thumb on the other side of the grip, that's the obvious thing, but, it just didn't come out right. part of the problem is that the gloves are all one color, and the fingers don't show the transition in this lighting. anyway, in the end i put the thumb.. um... astride a selector knob and just out of view... say. LOL.
next time kyle goes to space she needs better weapons... and she'll get them. :)
SL3-34-302 (July-September 1973) --- A vertical view of the Lake Michigan coastal area of northern Michigan as photographed from Earth orbit by one of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment aboard the Skylab space station. The view extends across Lake Michigan to Wisconsin's Green Bay. The two-fingered body of water is Grand Traverse Bay. Traverse City, Cadillac and Manistee can be seen in this photograph. Federal agencies participating with NASA on the EREP project are the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers. All EREP photography is available to the public through the Department of Interior's Earth Resources Observations Systems Data Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 57198. Photo credit: NASA

SL2-04-118 (June 1973) --- A color photograph of the San Francisco Bay, California area, taken from the Skylab space station in Earth orbit. (The picture should be held with the clouds and Pacific Ocean on the left.) Note the thickly populated and highly developed area around the bay. Among the cities visible are San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and San Jose. This view extends eastward to show a portion of the San Joaquin Valley. This photograph was taken by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter of the space station. Type SO-356 film was used. The S190-A experiment is part of the Skylab Earth Resources Experiments Package (EREP). Photo credit: NASA

Tower Complex - Update - 7/04/2016: We were stunned early this morning with again those strange rumblings like earth tremors, which we have confirmed were true, but the sky lit up like the 4th of July, and what we thought was a strange tower complex is actually a very large spacecraft and it launched into space! Now we are receiving information from BLACKstone ElecTRONics claiming their actual name is BLACKTRON and they have launched their space station into orbit around our planet! PLEASE STAY TUNED AS WE RECEIVE MORE INFORMATION!
This was the pass of the International Space Station at 7:30 pm MDT, on Nov 6, 2010. The ISS goes into darkness, travelling from left to right (west to east) fading out and turning red just east of zenith (right of centre) as it passes through Andromeda. The ISS crew then experienced a sunset.
In this view, north is at bottom, south is at top, east is to the right, and west is to the left. Jupiter is in SE.

S72-52630 (February 1972) --- This is the emblem for the first manned Skylab mission. It will be a mission of up to 28 days. Skylab is an experimental space station consisting of a 100-ton laboratory complex in which medical, scientific and technological experiments will be performed in Earth orbit. The prime crew of this mission will be astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., commander; scientist-astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin, science pilot; and astronaut Paul J. Weits, pilot. The patch, designed by artist Kelly Freas, shows the Skylab silhouetted against the Earth's globe, which in turn is eclipsing the sun--showing the brilliant signet-ring pattern of the instant before the total eclipse.

Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Skylab 1/2 TV Picture - Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., Skylab 2 commander, serves as test subject for the Lower Body Negative Pressure (M092) Experiment, as seen in this reproduction taken from a color television transmission made by a TV camera aboard the Skylab 1/2 space station cluster in Earth orbit. Scientist-astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin, Skylab 2 science pilot, assists Conrad into the LBNP device. Kerwin served as monitor for the experiment. The purpose of the M092 experiment is to provide information concerning the time course of cardiovascular adaptation during flight, and to provide inflight data for predicting the degree of orthostatic intolerance and impairment of physical capacity to be expected upon return to Earth environment. The data collected in support of M092 are blood pressure, leg volume changes and body weight. [Scene.] Captain Joseph P. Kerwin, Medical Corps, U.S. Navy.

Expedition 55 flight engineers Drew Feustel and Ricky Arnold will exit the station through the Quest airlock at around 8:10 a.m. EDT (1210 GMT). NASA will provide live coverage starting at 6:30 a.m. EDT (1030 GMT), when the astronauts are getting ready for their work and putting on their spacesuits.
The astronauts will upgrade the station's cooling system hardware and also install new communications equipment to help with future dockings of commercial crew spacecraft.
Cropped version of one of a series of shots I took this evening of the International Space Station passing over. It took 3 minutes to travel from one horizon to the other and is the first time I've planned to see it.
i am going to be giving up my beach land soon, which not only has a wonderful house on the beach, but is where i have my spaceship HDF Glisette*. i am not going to be homeless, though, i have already been renting space above the Botany Bay Colony and am working on my new ship HDF Ioria. (the name comes from a large island on Home, the world i invented for my sci-fi rp.)
i have mixed feeling about leaving my beach house, i’ve loved that place, but there is more than a little consolation in the new ship i am building. its huge! at the moment it is about 140 or 150 meters long, with a cross section of about 35 x 35 meters. the living quarters for myself and julia, alone, are based around a 40m diameter cylinder. earlier this year i spent time making my Stargate Universe-inspired HDF Destiny, and i thought that was coming out very large, with an 80 m length. the new ship is by no means the largest space ship in SL, but this is almost certainly the largest building project i’ll get a chance to create.
i am trying to make HDF Ioria into something which is *not* yet another scruffy spaceship. Star Wars and Firefly have had ships like that, ‘buckets of bolts’ held together with, i don’t know, space duct tape or something. on the other hand, the very ‘clean’ ships, like say in Star Trek, are too clean for my tastes (‘clean’ as in design, i of course don’t want crap left lying around my starship!). my goal is to make a ship designed for exploration – it’s not a warship - one that is more likely to host visiting dignitaries from a newly encountered race rather than get into a laser/phaser/zappy bolt blastin’ fight with them. as such, HDF Ioria needs to be able to exude the wealth and technological superiority of Home System (at least the superiority the people of Home feel they possess over others). The interior should be designed for more than utility, to show a sophisticated, coordinated ascetically pleasing décor, but not going into something gauche or tacky, nor something overly decadent.
does that make sense to anyone else? i have no idea. basically i want something different, something cool.
at the moment, i have set up most of the outside hull for HDF Ioria (and, frankly, at the moment it looks too boxy, i’m trying to fix that), but without textures. the interior is laid out, with either preliminary untextured rooms or just placeholder rooms.
there are only a couple of areas which have final textures applied (not counting the hanger, for which i am using an existing component i bought from the Tatooine Shipyards), and this picture shows commander kyle standing in one of them, the ‘main hub.’ admittedly, after all this verbiage the picture doesn’t show too much of the new ship, but, i like this room, and i hope that the rest of the ship – at least the interior – ends up matching this.

S73-27508 (6 June 1973) --- An artist's concept showing astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., Skylab 2 commander, attempting to free the solar array system wing on the Orbital Workshop during extravehicular activity at the Skylab 1 & 2 space station cluster in Earth orbit. The astronaut in the background is Joseph P. Kerwin, Skylab 2 science pilot. Here, Conrad is pushing up on the Beam Erection Tether (BET) to raise the stuck solar panel. The solar wing is only partially deployed; an aluminum strap is believed to be holding it down. Note the cut aluminum angle. Attach points for the BET are on the vent module of the solar array beam. The other end of the BET is attached to the "A" frame supporting the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) which is out of view. The aluminum strapping is to be out first, freeing the solar array beam. Then, if the beam does not automatically deploy, Conrad will attempt to help by pulling on the BET. The automatic openers may have become too cold to open without assistance. A deployed solar panel of the ATM is at upper left. The EVA is scheduled for Thursday, June 7th. This concept is by artist Paul Fjeld. Photo credit: NASA
