A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with NASA’s IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe), the agency’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Space Weather Follow On–Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) spacecraft atop stands vertical at Launch Complex 39A as the sun sets on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025, at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The missions will each focus on different effects of the solar wind — the continuous stream of particles emitted by the Sun — and space weather — the changing conditions in space driven by the Sun — from their origins at the Sun to their farthest reaches billions of miles away at the edge of our solar system.

Three novelettes of the Interstellar Medical Service – “The Grandfathers War” (1957), “Med Ship Man” (1963), and “Tallien Three” (1963).
“The human race had spread through the galaxy, colonizing hundreds of alien worlds. The Interstellar Medical Service sent its scouts out to take whatever action was necessary to maintain peace, health and security on those worlds.
“Calhoun was a medic, and on every planet he found nothing but trouble. On Talien III, he had to fight an alien chemical that was turning men into psychopathic killers. On Maya, he discovered vicious bio-weapons being used by a criminal cartel to control people as though they were cattle. On Phaedra II, he encountered a world of children, riddled with disease, yet pursuing a deadly interplanetary war.
“Wherever he went, Calhoun had the same grim choice – avert danger and bring peace, or be destroyed himself by the very forces of chaos he was seeking to overcome!” [From the Introduction]
“One of the all-time great storytellers of science fiction, Murray Leinster writes at his very best in these legendary tales of the Interstellar Medical Service. They are packed with action and adventure, and rich with imagination.” [From the back cover]

This is my first MOC. It started out as a Mining Freighter but shiny white and sleek design does not really match a Space Mining Company now, does it? Interstellar priority freighter it is, for the moment being. :)

Recently decommission due to budget cuts, these Space Police interstellar transports had more than twice the speed and endurance of a standard Peacekeeper-class transport.

Well, if the neighbours are going to have long, loud firework displays at this time of night, then I'm going to make the most of them by taking some shots.

“Barred from space, Rod Cantrell suddenly gets an unlooked-for opportunity to fight the marauders who threaten the existence of all cosmic life!” [From the Prologue]
“When ‘Stellaris,’ the first human interstellar ship, unexpectedly hurtles off the earth, it takes the ship’s designer, Rob Cantrell, his girlfriend and a skeleton crew with it into the furthest reaches of space. If only that was their biggest problem! With no star maps, killer aliens on their tail and a ship that was only half finished, their journey home is going to be quite the challenge!” – Google

This was taken with Android on my Nexus S. This is in the International Terminal of the Toronto Airport
I spent today working on texture and realism, going back over the airbrushed work with a flat wide brush and white paint, nothing complex but it immediately subdues the cartoony airbrush shading into something more textured, worn out.
This is a fun challenge in restraint compared with Star Wars models where everything is filthy to excess...I've been looking carefully at the Space Shuttle panelling for reference.
Brain lock channeled into boondock bondage,
Broken brain syndrome in an e-tard fashion.
Colorless morphine dripping from the sky,
Salmonella dreams from a naughty little jungle.
This is how we do it.
This is how we do it.
I dropped kraans and the moon said something to me,
He said man I've got all the kraans you could ever need.
Sipping from a candle in another vivid dream,
Tripping over Percocets and waiting for the screams.
This is how we do it nukkah,
This is how it is.
Interstellar space travel,
Slipping from the seems.
Distant black wasteland ,
Otherworldly fiends.
Interviewing vampires,
A mile in the green.
Catch me if you can,
A ghost-faced scream.
This is how we do it.
This is wait, what?
Long past overdrive,
Nothings what it seems.
Quantamly orderly,
Picking at the weeds.
Lightly salted pigments,
In a plastic jar.
Four exalted figments,
In a dream too far.
This is what I am.
This is what you are.
Fuck that white noise I'm slipping away,
Intercept my signal on the other side.
I ain't got nothing against any gays,
I'm gonna leave this world behind.
This is how we do it,
This is how it's done.
This is how we do it,
It's all in good fun.
I'm coming to you.
I'm coming for you.
I'm coming in you.
Wait, what?

The past few days I've spent moulding and casting the thruster module, this morning I cast up another couple which turned out beautifully. The pour spout is crudely cut into the mould, but it appears on a flat panel and all I do with each cast is mill that surface nice and clean before applying filler to any stray bubbles.
This evening I turned my attention back to the ranger, masking off the hull so that I could strategically Bondo the part which I've taken to calling 'The Headscarf'
That took a lot of patient sculpting, but so far so good.
Then later on I milled the retro thrusters, airlock and the four clasp locks that surround it.
Tomorrow I'll machine the thrusters and fit them in place, probably out of acrylic or acetal
