Some designs for ship backgrounds using Google Sketchup. and idea for the engineering bay, the living quarters, a model for the propellant tanks and thruster mount with out the thrusters yet (the trusters rotate along the circular mount) and the pilot room. Since pilot room uses hologram and touchscreen, it looks pretty bare as is. Still need to design the rest of the outter hull, the medbay, the lounge, etc…
Lots of work. x_x
I did find a pretty handy reference site for designing realistic space ships though: http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/crossindex.php They have everything from designs to actual cold hard maths. Since I suck at maths, I mostly just go for the designs. XD;

Film: Pumzi is a Kenyan science fiction short film written and directed by Wanuri Kahiu. It was screened at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival as part of its New African Cinema program.
Pumzi, imagines a dystopian future 35 years after water wars have torn the world apart. East African survivors of the ecological devastation remain locked away in contained communities, but a young woman in possession of a germinating seed struggles against the governing council to bring the plant to Earth’s ruined surface.
Reblogging again to remind myself to see this.
This is the Neon Cuckoo Bee.
The females of the species lay eggs in the nest of the Blue Banded bees (Different bees in the last two photos). The larval cuckoo consumes the other larvae and emerges from the cell.

I’m not even going to tell you the catcalls I received in Manhattan when I lived there. It’s a shitty thing. If you are a lady chances are you know what it’s like to walk down the street and feel afraid of every dude you see thinking “is that guy on the corner going to say some shit to me? Please dude, do not say anything to meeee.” Anyway if you don’t know what it’s like to be harassed whenever you leave the house, here is an excellent article where women talk about that: http://rookiemag.com/2012/05/it-happens-all-the-time/
