for the wip game: slip

[WIP guessing game]

The only instance where slip shows up and it's NOT dirty is in the half-abandoned TGM space!AU:

After the Dagger I mission, Maverick went to bat for him with NASA Director Simpson to keep Jake on active rotation and make sure he'd still have a pension when all this was said and done. It was more than the optics of giving the first man to walk on Mars a pink slip, even though Maverick never said as much. Jake had been an astronaut his entire adult life – he didn't know how to do anything else – and Maverick recognized that crutch because he had the same one himself. 

This iteration will probably never become anything because I realized at a certain point that I was just writing the spy!AU in space and no one wants that. It's Gordo Stevens energy or nothing at all.

Looking at the job application form for the latest NASA astronaut call (I'm not eligible but I can fantasize a little). Scroll down to the field 'Travel Required', which reads: Extensive Travel Required.

...yeah, no kidding

#space! #astronauts #i would say that going to space is extensive travel yes

A Candlenights Sermon

So five years ago a friend of mine said, "I grew up religious and I don't want anything to do with that anymore, but damn do I miss the good parts of a Christmas Eve service, like singing together and lighting candles!" and I said, "Well, what if we invent our own holiday? With singing? And candles?" and she said, "That sounds awesome!" and then we stole the name Candlenights from the McElroy brothers and I wrote a non-religious sermon and we rewrote our favorite carols to be secular and now, five years later, we have a new holiday tradition.

This is all backstory to explain what I'm about to share, which is my 2022 Candlenights sermon. Please join me if you would like to cry about space.

~~~

Hello, dear friends and dear family. We gather in the winter darkness once again, as we have for the last five years; as we have for our whole lives; as those who came before us have, on and on, back to the beginnings of people. Back to when the first monkey raised its head to look at the sky, and instead of only seeing the darkness, saw the stars.

Saw the light.

I think humanity fell in love right then, fell in love with the wide sprawl of the universe and all its secrets. Why else would we dedicate ourselves to it, as we have throughout time? Why else would we look at those sparkling lights in the velvet darkness and give them names and stories? Why would we do that, if it wasn’t to bring them closer to ourselves?

The first recorded evidence of constellations comes from 3000 BC in Mesopotamia, as our ancient ancestors sought to draw the stars out of the sky and know them better. We saw ourselves in them, and named them accordingly. "The Loyal Shepherd of Heaven," “The Seed-Furrow,” “The Farmworker.” Do you still know them? Do you recognize Orion, Virgo, and Aries? Did you know how far back our stories go?

The first telescope came in 1608, allowing us closer to the stars and the universe; allowing us to see the light we loved in greater detail, almost close enough to touch. We saw the craters on the moon; we saw Saturn’s rings for the first time; we looked at the cloudy arc of the Milky Way and learned that it wasn’t a cloud. It was more stars, each of them a tiny point of light.

America launched the first Orbiting Solar Observatory in 1962, and we could look at the stars from out there with them, as though we were one of them. We learned about gamma rays in our solar system and distant galaxies; observed solar flares from the Sun, our closest star; saw parts of stars that were previously unseeable, that we’d only dreamed were there.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990, the culmination of twenty years of work by humans who loved the stars so much they fought through earthly concerns like budget issues and engineering mistakes; humans who were so devoted that three years later they made repairs to the Hubble in space to bring the stars closer. We saw things we could never have imagined, great beauty and great destruction, birth and death and so, so much light.

Last December the James Webb Space Telescope was launched after over twenty-five years of development, because we love the stars so much we can never be satisfied. Earlier this year we saw the culmination of that work, and oh, what a culmination. Hundreds of thousands of galaxies previously invisible to us. Nebulae we thought we knew from the Hubble shown to us in awesome detail. Stars being born among the corpses of supernovae. Stars. So many stars.

Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine the line of discovery that traces from our earliest ancestors all the way to us now. Imagine taking your ancient relative by the hand and sharing this knowledge. Imagine looking at the wide, unmapped sky together and telling them our stories, about their future descendants who loved the stars so much we found a way to go out among them.

Don’t you think that they would be proud? That no matter how far we’ve come, we still stand in the darkness and look for the light?

There’s a poem by Mary Oliver called The Summer Day. You may have heard the final lines before, as they’ve been co-opted to support hustle culture or grinding or working out or whatever else capitalism thinks it needs to sell us. I think that’s a shame, as the full poem is much kinder, and gentler, and wondrous than that. Let me read it for you now:

Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean-- the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down -- who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do With your one wild and precious life?

My dears, what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? 

I plan to live the way I want to live, and love who I want to love, and always look for the light wherever I can. I hope that you will join me.

Happy Candlenights.

#candlenights #fake holiday #new traditions #i legitimately cried when I wrote it #and again when I read it #space! #I feel a lot of things about it! #I also did a lot of research #so all the astronomy facts would be right #in this house we commit to the bit

Just gonna put this here as well :3

AF attack for @kdgo-3d + bonus doodle

I think this one might be my favorite yet. There’s a couple places that are a bit rough due to time constraints, but I think I managed to get the vibe I was going for across

The first images captured by a powerful space telescope designed to create the most detailed 3D map of the “dark side” of the universe have been revealed.

Launched by the European Space Agency in July, the Euclid telescope’s initial release includes five observations made from its orbital home 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away from Earth, including views of a stellar nursery and massive clusters of galaxies and stars.

Euclid’s wide perspective can record data from a part of the sky 100 times bigger than what NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s camera can capture.

Together, the new color images showcase the scintillating beauty of space, the potential and capabilities of the telescope’s science instruments — including a visible light camera and a near-infrared camera/spectrometer — and the level of detail it will be able to pick out across the universe, ESA officials said.

The observations also reveal previously unseen aspects of the cosmos that will contribute to Euclid’s main mission of surveying one-third of the sky for the next six years.

Dear Good Omens fandom, let's talk about SPACE

Did you know that the number of star-forming nebulae (otherwise known as H II regions) in this galaxy alone, ignoring all of the other galaxies out there, is over 8000 at least? Of which we know that Crowley was involved in making at least three (the Pillars of Creation i.e the Eagle Nebula, the one he looked at in S1 i.e. Eta Carinae I believe, and the Horsehead Nebula)? The latter of which he worked closely with Saraqael, another angel, to make (as well as 'closely with upstairs' with the Pillars of Creation), so it wasn't like they were all solo projects?

Did you know that outside of star-forming regions, which seem to be Crowley's area of expertise, there are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way alone (which in the GO-verse come 'pre-aged' and, from my own interpretation of how Crowley says it, are likely someone else's department)? One of which is our Sun, which Crowley definitely didn't seem to be involved in the creation of, given his ignorance of the big plans for that quadrant and its inhabitant 'people'?

And did you know that outside of our own galaxy, there are estimated to be hundreds of billions of galaxies, all of which I imagine do actually exist in the GO-verse given how Crowley talks about 'trillions of stars' being out there? Which, yeah, he might have some minor involvement in making, but given how much care, attention, and recognition he gives the individual nebulae he's been involved in creating, I'd consider this very unlikely.

Space is really, really, really, really, fucking big. No, far bigger than that. And I propose to you that Crowley being involved in making space stuff doesn't actually make him much more important than the almost certainly millions of other angels also working on making space stuff, and certainly not an archangel.

Someone taking that much joy and excitement and love in the creation of a single star-forming region in the grand scheme of the universe is no less a tiny cog in the giant machine of Heaven than Aziraphale is. And I'd have it no other way.
