This interstellar spaceship traveling at sub-light speed has taken more than a century and many generations of crew members to reach its destination, a star system twelve light years from Earth. The original occupants grew old and died, leaving their descendants to continue the journey.
The original occupants were aware of the challenges and implications of such a long, isolated journey. Many stories had explored the biological, social and moral changes that might occur. Common themes in these stories were loss of knowledge, the emergence of new religions and cultures, and the rebellion of the passengers. We can only hope that adequate precautions were taken to prevent the worst of these outcomes and the people who emerge from the ship are as courageous, thoughtful and well-grounded as their ancestors.
[Note: Some famous examples of generation starship stories are Arthur C. Clarke’s “Rendezvous with Rama” (1973), Robert Heinlein’s “Orphans of the Sky” (1963), Gene Wolfe’s “The Book of the Long Sun” (1993-1996), and Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Aurora” (2015).]
I can't believe how long it's been since I updated the thread on this build- I've been working on it incrementally but totally neglected to keep things posted.
Regardless, here's where I'm at;
five of the modules had severe air cavities under the main layer of resin where it ought to have been solid, so rather than ignore the issue (as it wasn't visible, but was structurally questionable) I cut out those areas before levelling them out with resin and filler.
Then this evening I rewatched Interstellar itself whilst panelling the repaired modules.
Tomorrow I'm going to build the master for the spherical joints... my intention is to vacuum form them in halves to preserve the ability for disassembly.

A little microspace build I made over at Sarah's house. It's an alternate to the Mini Republic Gunship, no added pieces.
I've had this sitting around for a while now, so I thought it was time to post it.
I really like the bow/bridge portion of the ship. It would be a fun thing to try to recreate on a SHIP.

The southern cross is a small but obvious sight in southern skies. But from a dark site I like tracing the black lagoons and dark winding rivers of interstellar dust that block the light of millions of distant stars from further reaches of our galaxy.
I'm still struggling with a setup for astrophotography, image stacking and processing, etc. So this is a single frame, 50mm f1.8, ISO1600, 5 seconds and lots of "curves" layers of the luminous variety.
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. :)
Critique and Comments welcome!

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.
