This Reminds Me Of The Great Black Spot From “2010.”

In his defense, he didn’t know if it was the real life or just fantasy...

The galaxy’s not saving itself, trooper!

Mankind is advanced technically. Man can build space stations, can assemble them in space, and ponders about landing on Mars, but the development of mankind itself seems to stagnate on stone age level.

I wish I could say I was good at drawing shit on a computer, but alas, I am not. Nevertheless, this is my rendition of Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. You can tell that I literally copy and pated a few of those patches on, which is why some have legit text and others have scribbles

I never gave anybody hell... I just told 'em the truth and they thought it was hell..

1975 NASA concept art by Don Davis takes us to a future space colony in the form of a “Stanford torus” that can house tens of thousands of humans. It was first proposed in a 1975 NASA study at Stanford University where experts gathered to speculate on designs for future space habitats. Using centrifugal force, a doughnut-shaped torus structure that is 1.8 km in diameter could rotate once per minute to provide between 0.9g and 1.0g of artificial gravity on the inside of the outer ring. A system of mirrors would direct sunlight to the interior to make it the well-lit paradise you see here. (NASA)
