Recently sold on eBay (but not to me, I got beat out) was a piece of concept art of the “Colossal Guppy,” a proposal by Aero Spacelines to convert a B-52 into a Saturn S-II carrier. All of the artwork I’ve seen before has shown a 12-engine design; this eBay art shows only the original 8 engines that were fitted to the B-52. I would assume that this is an earlier iteration of the concept, but can’t say for certain.

I dunno, I wonder if we nuked Japan a little too hard. Their obsession with humanoid giant robots is just confounding, when in reality such devices would get wiped out in a heartbeat by an air force with the same level of power and materials science technologies. Still, I guess this is cool enough, even though the most important question remains unanswered.

‘Defund the police’ activist Alyssa Milano calls 911 sparking massive police presence in her quiet California neighborhood claiming an armed an gunman was on her property – but it was really a teen shooting at squirrels with an air gun

Amazing how quickly the “ACAB” goobers are to call the cops when the slightest little thing triggers them.

Well, damn.

Michael Lonsdale, actor who played Bond villain in ‘Moonraker,’ dies at 87

Ron Cobb, Designer of the ‘Alien’ Ship and the ‘Back to the Future’ DeLorean, Dies at 83

Ron Cobb’s design work was *fantastic.* He designed the world of “Conan the Barbarian,” including the swords. He did a first pass at the “Back To The Future” LeLorean. He designed the Nostromo and the Narcissus and the Dark Star and the Marsliner and the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” Flying Wing and the Gunstar and the Starcar and the Whispercraft and the laser and spaceplane in “Real Genius,” all with diagrams that would have fit well at an aerospace company.
