Good Morning!
New pinned post for all my new followers!
I'm a Military Historian very interested in space, politics, humor, war, and art.
I've been obsessed with the design of fictional spacecraft since I can remember and I post daily about a lesser-known ship and artist, usually from Star Trek.

Yeah, they were using the timeline established in the “Spaceflight Chronology” (personally I think that 2264 is too early as well! In my early trek games I set the start date to the show at 2312 - I have receipts!)

Today we celebrate the birthday of American actor Jeffrey Hunter, born today in 1926. In fandom, Hunter is known for his 1965 role as Capt. Christopher Pike in the original pilot episode of Star Trek, the footage also later used in the episode "The Menagerie". #JeffreyHunter

Is the Enterprise complete series worth owning?
It’s on sale for $55 atm
I saw it forever ago when it was on tv but I don’t pay for streaming services.
I currently own TOS and DS9. Haven’t seen TNG on sale (yet).

Just to check out the late-night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive
Call it insane

It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning

This Andorian ship is a bit of a stretch. BOOM SCIFI DAD JOKE.
This is another wild FASA RPG ship from the days when we had scant few official starships and only the imaginations of fans and game designers to push the boundaries outwards.

Sgt. Fury no. 3 (Sept 1963) cover by Jack Kirby. There’s some question about who inked the great, iconic cover: Ayers, Ditko, or Kirby himself. I lean toward Ditko as the most likely inker. Anyway, what a cool image, despite (or because of) all the copy filling the blank spaces.
