Good Morning!

New pinned post for all my new followers!

I'm a Military Historian very interested in space, politics, humor, war, and art.

I've been obsessed with the design of fictional spacecraft since I can remember and I post daily about a lesser-known ship and artist, usually from Star Trek.

Beta Starship Spotlight
Apache-Class Destroyer

Perusing the FASA archives I found the Apache, which has some fun backstory and casts a peculiar side profile.

Scrounging the internet yielded 0 other images of THIS Apache-Class starship, but it did reveal another fun nugget of Trekdom...

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

I'm destroying the economy today by using a 5-year-old smartphone and wearing my grandpa's US Navy peacoat from the 50's as a kickass winter jacket.

The Object 730 tank was accepted into service as the T-10 #OTD in 1953 . This family of tanks remained in production until 1966. This was the last heavy tank to be produced in the USSR, since by then it became clear that the MBT was the future. #tanks #history #ColdWar

I live in a community with a heavy (permanent) ICE presence and I wonder about this all the time. I imagine they say the same things that concentration camp guards said when they came home every night to their families.
🔥POWERFUL AD ABOUT ICE AGENTS: “What will you say when your kids ask you about your day? A mask can’t hide you from your neighbors, your family, God… you can walk away, but the shame will follow you home.”

An incident occurred at the Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan. The launch pad 31 operated by the Russian Roskosmos space agency was heavily damaged during the last missile launch. It is the only operational launch pad for the Soyus and Progress rockets in the Eastern hemisphere.
