Hello Bluesky universe and beyond! I'm Jordan, the owner of the official Bluesky account for the Rochellan Commonwealth. IRL, I am a long-time science fiction fan from the classics to modern sci-fi. My primary loves are Trek, Star Wars, B5, BSG and many others. Hope to talk to you all soon!

Some more data on this field -- it's really shaping up! I like this orientation better. Also, I just noticed the "hobbit door" toroid in the lower left. What's up with that? Star Rucba, reflection neb VDB 134, and "bubble" planetary PK86+5.1.

Hydrogen-alpha emission near the star Rucba (45 Cyg), with reflection nebulae (including VDB 134) and the bubble-shaped planetary nebula PK86+5.1. Stars are photometrically color-calibrated.

“[Sussman’s] involvement suggests that this isn’t just an exercise in nostalgia — it’s a genuine continuation of Archer’s story, and of the formative years of the Federation itself.”

And here comes the so-called hidden “something”—we’re talking about an extremely slow cosmic rotation. This gentle spin doesn’t contradict any laws of physics, but it has enough impact to reconcile the—

Walter M. “Wally” Schirra was one of the original seven astronauts for the Mercury Project selected by NASA on Ap. 27, 1959. He flew on the MA-8 (Mercury-Atlas) mission with the Sigma 7 spacecraft – the third manned orbital flight by the United States – and completed six orbits in 9¼ hours.

Yeah, Zardoz was a weird movie.

John Boorman's Zardoz (1974)

Speaking to the magazine Films and Filming in 1974, Sean Connery said that "Zardoz" was "one of the best ideas [he'd] come across for ages" and claimed to have been "gripped" by lack of "spaceships and rockets" in a sci-fi movie.

Thinking of selling this Blender model for people to use in their own projects/illustrations etc. it’s something built to try and learn a bit of Blender, so it’s definitely not optimised for anything.

NEW EPISODE✨✈️👱🏻‍♂️

Bad Bunny and Puerto Rico under fire for being part of a country that invaded us in the first place? At least Ryan Gosling will play a cool pilot (maybe for the New-New Republic?) who might or might not go to Castilon and meet Mara Jade.
