A ‘Picture Perfect’ Launch

Looking like a bright star streaking up into a black sky, a rocket took off before dawn today from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida carrying an unmanned capsule filled with food, clothes, and other supplies for astronauts on the international space station.

But this robotic cargo ship doesn’t belong to NASA. Instead, it’s owned by a company called SpaceX, which made history by launching the first ever private spacecraft on a mission to the station.

SpaceX has a $1.6 billion cargo-delivery contract with NASA, which is turning routine flights to the station over to industry so that the veteran space agency can start to focus on more ambitious exploration efforts. (NPR)

I really don’t think I’ll miss a group of people more than when these guys leave tomorrow.

Y’all are so adorable! I feel like I missed out on an awesome time!

I’m an astronomer and astrobiologist, and study the behavior of ice on planets orbiting stars other than our Sun. I’m also an actor, and was in a movie that went to Sundance and was one of Ebert and Roeper’s “Top Ten Films of 2005”. I’m a science communicator, I play the violin, write poetry and paint, love massages and movies, and hanging out with my husband and our two cats.

So, in this picture, two people have trying to have sex in front of a bunch of naked people and cherubs, but this cowboy asshole jumps out suddenly from above and ruins everything.

More fan art! ;p

This was done at my friend Mittymandi’s suggestion. Which I was all too happy to use! Labyrinth was very important and special to me growing up, and its still dear to me for all the reasons it was back then, and some whole new ones!

I’ll probably do more Labyrinth fan art in the future. There are things I like about this, but ultimately I can do better. This doesn’t look NEARLY enough like David Bowie to me, but I still think its a nice piece. I hope people enjoy it!
