Added 5 new A* pages:I had never done "fan art" before but I did some recently! A couple weeks ago I did one for Nedroid that nobody seemed to like so I'll just post it here. :P
And a few days ago I did one for Nothing Happened Today that he liked enough to post in his gallery. His actual comic is way funnier than my ragged little homage though so consider giving it a look.
~~~~~~~~~~
I came across an awesome half-finished one-shot little webcomic serial called Space Girl by Travis Charest, who is apparently an artistic big shot in the super hero comic world. The writing is pretty awful but the art is super, and check out that A*-ish single-panel wide screen format!
~~~~~~~~~~
Speaking of wasting time on the Internet, Venera: The Soviet Exploration of Venus has all kinds of rad details and images from the Ruskie side of the Cold War space race, with lots of drone-dropping, crushing atmospheres, and redundant systems!
And just to get you in the mood, here's a photo of NASA's Pioneer 3 space probe being worked on, probably not long before its 1958 launch. Look how tiny it is!

Pioneer 3 was supposed to pass the Moon and then go on and orbit the Sun, but its launch rocket ran out of gas, and it fell back to Earth after 38 hours, burning up over Africa. But the data it returned in its inadvertent Earth orbit helped James Van Allen in his discovery of the Earth's radiation belts. Way to go, Pioneer 3!
