Did some post processing on my first light data to learn some Siril
32 10 second exposures, just light frames

The Electric Space Cruiser, a fast planetary explorer with a 500 kWe nuclear turboelectric system driving 6000-12,000s Isp ion thrusters for 9 ton total mass.

It could reach Mercury in 1 year, and Jupiter or Saturn in 2 years.

Ganymede may have three separate underground oceans sandwiched between layers of increasingly weird ice.

Design study of a Nuclear-Electric probe for outer solar system missions, based on an upgraded 17.5 kWe Kilopower reactor and NEXT-C ion thrusters:
ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citation...
Average acceleration should be an anemic 8 *microgee* and it only delivers 10.3 km/s deltaV total.

Bruh rest in piss, he won't be missed.
Bullying minorities and inspiring violence against them is more than enough to go on my shit list lmao
Only sadness/concern I have today is about the retaliation we could see from this

First thought I had when this thing was revealed. Hopefully this thing doesn't end up with any xenomorphs onboard :P

Neon Navikea - typical dry cargo freighter designed to service colonies without extensive spacing infrastructure. The engine, as insane as it sounds, is a real though somewhat tenuous NASA proposal.

Amazing how some of the most iconic images of Mars that I regularly see in books and educational materials are composite images from the Viking orbiters taken in the late 70s. Incredible what we accomplished in the early days of interplanetary exploration.

the EOB-2E Switch Board, the Deep Space Bombardment Force's mirror to the EC-135s. The crews of the 4th Deep Space Command Squadron could assume the National Spaceborne Command Post in the case authorities on Earth or Luna are lost.
