And I should point out that the right cat is as well. But he has two eyes.

Yep! She's a rescue :)

Artemis: a cute little one eyed cat.

Apollo, a two eyed cat being mysterious

May I interest you in some black cats of Salem?

Very cool. Nicely done.

Happy Halloween season from Salem. Here's some songs.

Also: new short story out on Halloween.

I know the one you're talking about, this was inspired by it!

A Gemini module with a much expanded service module and mirrored skin for a lunar mission.

A mirrored Gemini capsule in reentry attitude.

The Lunar Reconnaissance Gemini returning to Earth. This was a McDonnell proposal to soup up a Gemini capsule for a mission to photograph potential Apollo landing sites.

It rocks. PTA is two for two on the Pynchon adaptations.

It's a very cool slice of early 70s futurism.

A long space station with a space plane docked

A space station with three rows of modules spaced 120 degrees apart

A space station with stacked modules spaced 120 degrees apart

Space stations:

1) Eastern Airlines commercial spaceflight services
2) McDonnell Growth Space Station (70s)
3) Submission to a NASA station design contest from the early 70s

They took us at the gates of green return,
Too lost by then to stop, and ask them why -
Do children meet again?
Does any trace remain,
Along the superhighways of July?"

- Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow

"I dream that I have found us both again,
With spring so many strangers' lives away,
And we, so free,
Out walking by the sea,
With someone else's paper words to say...

Fun fact: When the Soviets started their crewed Mars program in 1969 they called the program Aelita.

A render of an orange space tug over the Earth

An Orbital Transfer Vehicle dives towards the Earth for an aerobraking maneuver.

The OTV was an 80s design for a reusable space tug to carry cargo up and down the gravity well. It would use aerobraking to bleed off speed before docking with a space station for refurbishment.

Lunar Reconnaissance Gemini: An unbuilt proposal to use a modified Gemini capsule to photograph the planned Apollo landing sites. More details in the quoted thread.

Post a random Star Trek image

It's not the *worst* problem to have :)

Ugh your posts always give me more models I want to make and my list is already so long.

Made with Blender

A long and spindly spinning space station with two Energia boosters as a counterweight

A cylindrical space capsule in space

A TKS derived spaceship with solar panels

Randoms:

1) Variable Gravity Research Facility "Newton", a 1989 spinning station proposal
2) Project Adam: the US Army's 1958 quick and dirty crewed spaceship design based on the Project Manhigh capsule
3) Priyut, my design for a TKS derived rescue ship

Agreed. Researching this I was surprised by how little I had ever seen about it. The whole sort of network vibe of it is really cool.
