the thing about steampunk spaceflight is that you can investigate all these little things and solve all these little problems but inevitably everything is going to come together disastrously. The whole is worse than the sum of its parts. You can design a really cool steampunk space station--I have definitely tried at times--but it all falls apart when you try to launch it into space.

It's just. You're fundamentally limited by the mediocre materials science and chemistry available in the victorian era. Even if you solve every other problem, the ship is just going to be too heavy and the rocket engines are just going to be too inefficient. You have to cheat! You just have to cheat. You have to cheat somewhere. I always go back and forth on what and where that cheat is. We can't even have liquid hydrogen without cheating.

Unfortunately I'm beginning to think that there's a reason that the Victorians didn't go to space 😔

It is certainly an issue, but coming up with a good cheat can make for an interesting story all on its own! For example, the complete handwavium that is Cavorite (from H.G. Wells' The First Men on the Moon) can make for a fascinating story even if the method of propulsion is wildly unrealistic by modern scientific standards. I'm also fond of the workaround that Kenneth Oppel did in his (decidedly steampunk) book Starclimber, featuring a space elevator with a cable spun from a mysterious metal found in a meteorite. Of course, if G-forces aren't a concern, you can go full Jules Verne and just employ a stupendously large artillery gun as a first stage. And there's always the Edgar Rice Burroughs method of teleportation without explanation.

Steampunk is really an interesting genre case, because by its inherent nature it's going to be very soft science fiction, with technological levels that... Unfortunately don't really make sense. (And that's been true right from the beginning. The book that codified most of the conventions of the steampunk genre, The Difference Engine, has a plot centered around colossal, intelligent mechanical computers.) I think the only real way to work within it is to take the plunge and rely on the reader to suspend disbelief and get lost in the internal logic of your universe.

I feel like a horse with no name is probably the best song in the world. Not even my Favorite song just the best

#I do unironically love this song though #for some reason radio stations in California *love* playing this song #so I have many fond roadtrip memories in the piece of shit family Nissan set to it

New York empties out on holidays, so this little Dachshund had Madison Avenue at 30th Street all to himself. July 4, 1958.

USS AKRON (ZRS-4) in flight above Portland, Oregon.

"A cropped version of this photograph was published on Page 4 of the Oregon Journal on May 24, 1932, under the headline 'U. S. S. AKRON, Early Morning Visitor Here, Flying Over Swan Island.' The photograph had the following caption: 'Roy Norr, Journal staff photographer, in an airplane flown by Tex Rankin, caught the giant naval dirigible, U. S. S. AKRON, as she poked her nose over Swan Island airport. The great aircraft gave Portlanders a thrill as she flew directly over the city, but they saw her under body only. AKRON is 785 feet long, weighs 403,000 pounds, and has 6,300,000 cubic feet gas volume. The ship has eight motors, totaling 4480 horsepower, and can make 83.8 miles an hour at top speed.' The photograph accompanied the continuation of a front-page story about the AKRON’s visit."

Photographed on May 24, 1932.

Everyone go look up the song nasa banned from space

hiveswap

Don't forget to play it loud as fuck

kowai-kabuki-tanuki

please….listen to the whole thing. And imagine that you are IN SPACE in 1973 and you JUST woke up. Every time you adjust…it escalates somehow.

This song had to be designed in a lab for the sole purpose of fucking with astronauts. whoever added it to the NASA playlist was a genius.

It took them two tries to ban it?

It's not just that they're doing corruption, but they're doing the kind of corruption that is basically "guy hands over a cartoon money sack with dollar signs on it" corruption.
