Some decades have passed since the events of #phm Petrova '26
Sol and Earth have recovered & humanity is exploring the stars
Here, Stellar Venture, a 3rd gen Interstellar Vehicle, departs from a fueling station @ Venus for an expedition to a stellar neighbor

Something similar, something different
Busy w/ visiting family in the US, but been plodding away on a little fun/silly "post-script" project for Petrova '26
Expect more on it in the near-ish future

Honestly, this made me want to draw every single variant of the Falcon family, and this list isn’t even counting the short upper-stage nozzle variants (since they’re not visible) or the two separate mission extension variants (since they look identical).
This is also looking only at the ones that have flown, meaning ten total Falcon variants have flown.
Always found it neat how Falcon has a parallel to ULA’s system of having many slightly differing in capability variants to most efficiently use the minimum resources needed to launch a payload. But instead of strap on solids, it’s the amount of reuse. Between F9 RTLS, Droneship, expended, FH full reuse, core expended, full expended and not to mention the smaller increments between those with the short nozzle upper stage, there’s a lot of rungs along the Falcon cost to capability slider

The Go/No-Go poll for orbit on Starship flight 14 felt like a movie scene, so I scored it as if it was

Genuinely the biggest shock of my life.
Thank you so much @Erdayastronaut for featuring my model in your latest video, it’s crazy that out of every free or paid model, mine got chosen for the far away shots.
I genuinely feel honored for this opportunity.

#SST26 Day 12, slender/thin
The cosmos are closer than they have ever been. The opening of the Pan-Continental Star Bridge supercharged humanity's expansion into the solar system.
