My entry to the Interstellar Outpost Contest.
Knor Industries, well known for their military and civilian vehicles, are now offering an Outpost Bundle that includes:
the Knor RW starfighter, which with its rotating wings can land or take off on a dime; the Knor TX tanker truck, famous for its off road capabilities; the Knor SI comm station, equipped with the latest in communication technology; and the Knor RW landing pad that doubles as a storage area for the outpost. Take advantage of this great Bundle deal while you can!
The starfighter's wings rotate with a twist of the knob on top, to switch between flight and hover/landing mode; it also has a functional landing gear. The tanker truck has working steering (also operated by the knob on top) and 'suspension'. The comm station has a full interior and the landing pad doubles as a storage area.

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on 6 August 2025 using its Near-Infrared Spectrograph. The research team is analysing Webb’s data, with a preprint now available online. Webb is one of several space telescopes studying this comet, helping to reveal its size, physical properties, and chemical composition. For example, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s recently launched SPHEREx mission have also observed it. While the comet poses no threat to Earth, such observations support astronomers in their ongoing mission to find, track, and better understand objects in our Solar System.

The center and right panels show flux maps highlighting CO₂ at 4.3μm and H₂O at 2.7μm, respectively, with insets showing spectral line profiles confirming molecular signatures.]

Gave my tech three choices, including this one we used not too long ago. "Well, you know what I'm going to pick!" she said. I guess I do now.

August 17th, 2015. Piha, NZ. First time I have ever seen the Milky Way and by no means the last. I took my test shot to where I thought it would be... when it wasn't there... panning upwards I saw the true beauty of it all. Took my breath away.
To me it was a timely reminder of where we all belong and where we've all come from. We are a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.

These illustrations were scanned from "Spacecraft 2000-2100 A.D." by Stewart Cowley. I picked up the book from the Houston Public Library Book Sale. It is part of the Terran Trade Authority Handbook series, which wikipedia says is a set of books published in the late 70s about made up space worlds. Illustrations were provided by J.S.

Now that Emerald City Comic Con is behind us, TARS and I got to spend some quality time together. And you know what? Turns out he's a massive tool - literally!
For my friend Connie in Ireland who wanted to know what my Buddy Icon was. Well here it is. The butterflies are real , manipulated in Photoshop. The rest of the image I created in Photoshop. 20 layers later and here it is.
Thank you

The highly dangerous nature of a Sampler's work requires the most iron discipline and strict adherence to safety protocols. Combine this with each crew member typically having a deep understanding of his work and equipment and you have some of the most competent spacers in the galaxy, for everyone knows an incompetent Sampler is already a dead one.
Samplers are known for running some of the tightest ships in the known galaxy. In 2344, whe a Union ambassador was visitng Sampler 7 on a friendly cultural exchange, he told a Sleigh crew that they had a "near-military" discipline, thinking he was paying them a compliment. By the time his Marine escort had pulled off two ensigns from him, he'd realised his error. This incident is remembered as the "Night of a Thousand Apologies."
But, if Samplers are known for their rigid discipline while on-duty and conducting mining operations, they are also known to celebrate life in its fullest when off-duty.
Indeed, a sun-ship with empty holds coming off-rotation is a completely different ship. To bleed off the stress that comes with one of the most dangerous jobs around, Sampler crews will engage in all sorts of antics. Fart-gas in the ventilation, expanding foam in the shower tanks, food fights and pranks of all kinds are commonplace everywhere but the engine room, which is off-limits.
The crew of the Republic-registered SS Dirty Fracker perphaps took things a little too far. After a particularly taxing mining shift and dispersal of their neutrons, the head chef decided to spike the celebratory meal with Angorian liquor. After an inebriated food fight the crew and captain headed to quarters to sleep it off. The mining shift, however, was up to mischief as usual. The captain woke up to find himself locked in his cabin.
The miners hijacked the bridge by bribng the navigator and helmsman with alcohol and set the course for Altair 7. The off-duty engineering team, meanwhile, had donned spacesuits and EVA'd with buckets of paint and gone over the ship's name, replacing "Fracker" with //CENSORED//.
Once in orbit around Altair 7 (after two marriages and one all-hands brawl), the rogue crew established a geosynchronous orbit above the planetary governor's water yacht. The governor, known for his radical Naturalism, had previously railed against spacers in general and especially Samplers, banning them from the planet.
The crew used the solar shield to create an articial eclipse above the boat, which was currenty hosting the governor's daughter's wedding. Being entirely solar-powered, the yacht quickly depleted its batteries while still out in deep waters.
Only when the governor had paid a healthy ransom and revoked his ban did the crew leave orbit. Incidentally, their departure was celebrated not only by the governor's retinue but also by a tribe of primitive who had heralded the eclipse as the End Times. The first thing the governor did back in port was have a hydrogen-powered engine installed in his yacht.
The captain, who hated seafood (and had thus been fed nothing else), was finally released as the ship arrived at Charlemagne for shore leave. He congratulated the crew on a successful prank, then immediately confined them to quarters on bread and water. He released them after a day and they made landfall together for a bar crawl.
Sampler's oath: "Steel in our blood, our blood in the Steel."
Here's a sneak peek from one of the scenes. Now that the secret project is ...not secret anymore, I'll be posting pics as we work through the trailer! Stay tuned!

Thank goodness my angel has wings. She managed to take us to the stars.
