got obsessed with the space telescopes for a lil while hehehe. revamped my designs for jwst and hst and tried my hand at designing some of the other "great observatories" as well! i like to think hubble, spitzer, and chandra are all siblings (and james is just kinda crashing the party here).
some extra thoughts under the readmore
so theres four great observatories, but the fourth, compton, was purposefully de-orbited and burnt up in the atmosphere. haven't designed her yet, but her death haunts the other space telescopes a lot hehe.
hubble was the first of the siblings to be launched, with compton launching shortly afterwards. they were pretty close before her eventual demise. unfortunately her death and chandra's launch sort of overlapped, so hubble and chandra's initial relationship was heavily strained by the grief hubble was feeling.
theyre doing alright nowadays, but its still kind of a sore subject. this is especially true because hubble fears he may share the same fate in a couple years. with the lack of funding and his failing systems, it's very likely he may be de-orbited as well.
juice u glorious mf
THOSE R THE KINDA QUESTIONS IM ALWAYS ASKING MAN like? when did space probes start becoming sentient? why did they become sentient?? what’s the rest of the world like in 17776??
uhh and other species did stop dying too like,, here in chapter 11
the dog here is like at least 2000 yrs old!! thats great cuz if pets kept dying then i think humanity would be pretty different
it makes sense tat other species also stopped dying,, it would be rlly odd if we were the only ones that stopped aging cuz humans aren’t actually as special as we say we are. we’re all animals in the end yk., so if that was the case why is it that specifically us that became immortal??
Uhh uhh and to OP!! i think u should absolutely write about that perspective!! its such an interesting idea i need to read it 🙏 “what weather forecasts will look like in the future…” ehheheeehe
where do they mention weather and climate change getting even worse than it already is tho?? ik it got to a point where new york is just gone and florida is barely there but i forgot the cause or if they even explained it at all 💔 but it is kinda scary tho ,,where you and everything around u stops changing, but at the same time. everything IS changing
we knowbarely anythin about the world in 17776 other than football… and so many questions left unanswered from nine’s list
man i hope 50007 gives us more of those answers
so so deeply tempted to write something about 17776 from the perspective of a meteorologist . having to watch the climate get worse and worse . witnessing storm surges get so bad they leave very, very little left to survive (well, people don’t die. but i forgot if plants & animals do. in that case, they die and it’s sad. and we’re still living through it). and it happens again. again. again. and you’re still collecting data, still watching the seasons go by, still working and still making reports. it feels like every day reaches a new “hottest day recorded” or “worst tornado in united states history”, no?
. Blehhhh tening it
umm. hi guys i been roaming in the tmbd posts (and js tumblr in general) here for a while BUT IM TOO SCARED TO INTERACT/POST 💔💔💔 but tv adaption trailer release and i think i can talk about it,, everyone seem friendly!!!
my opinion on it (right now) is HELL YEAH im really hyped im so excited,, first reaction was like “Oh,, um.. uh, this is okay…” and then it kinda grew on me (instantly)… the voice is rlly stupid its great & i dont rlly gaf about anything else as long as its murderbot (it is! and thats awesome!!!!) hoping everything turns out good
basically everyone is going crazy over this. im basically going crazy over this
dude but like,, do you think we’ll skip 20021 entirely and miss whatever happens to nick and manny?? or will we start from 20021?? and what’s the format gonna be like?! is he still gonna publish it on secret base/sb nation?!?!
IM SO EXCITED. IM SO EXCITED
i can probably imagine nine oversleeping and waking up wondering if they’ve been hibernating for 1 year or 30,000
they check the calendar, and… “Huh…?”
…it says the year “50007.”
.aw shit
.wait so… so i slept through the-
.
.
.Fuck
.FUUUUUUUCK
eerm more than like 10 people have witnessed the unique experience that is 17776 thanks to me and i’ll keep doing it
i sent it to like 9 of my friends and also to my teacher and to my therapist…
these victims then spread it to THEIR friends/significant other so they can watch the football game
i would say im very proud of myself,
hi Guys?! so like what if the james webb space telescope was in 17776 ? what would their relationship be with the hubble space telescope in that universe
im thinking like. maybe the trope where like. they talk shit to each other but around other people they’re like “yeah hubble/webb is pretty goated” and “are you really trying to insult my bro. only i can do that” ,,,, like siblings idk..
or maybe they’re like best friends or sm, whenever one takes an image the other is like “HOLY SHIT this is so cool!!”
or maybe it would be more like a one sided thing (then hubble is the guy who doesn’t rlly gaf)
webb could be the self absorbed guy nobody likes that always talks about taking superior images, while hubble js tries to watch the damn football game
or, webb looking up to hubble, like, a lot, despite getting more praise and stuff. hubble is past the um. attention and glory, sees webb as equal/better
IDK!! I CAN’T DECIDE ANYTHING FOR MYSELF!!
appreciating baby pictures of the hubble telescope on her 34th bday
still cant stop thinking about how ART was willing and ready to bomb an entire human colony no hesitation to rescue murderbot
has anyone considered/worked out a murderbot x 17776 crossover
