Imagine a massive celestial bubble made of ice and dust surrounding our Solar System. That’s the Oort cloud and this is its scale.
The Oort Cloud lies at the very edges of the Solar system. Even the farthest ones which are still working, like Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and New Horizons didn't go beyond the cloud. Long period comets, taking centuries to orbit the Sun, provide evidence for the existence of the Oort Cloud. Scientists believe this vast region is the birthplace of these cosmic travelers...✨

Concept art of a few things I'm trying for one of my stories, "funny ferret bookclub." it involves 5 seporate books representing the 5 different genres our main characters enjoy reading.
Gene loves mystery so I'm thinking of their chapter be spy themed. And for Prince, a book that fuses star wars with the Orville in an enjoyabe sifi chapter.
Tell me what you think!

Preparing to board. Astronauts Pete Conrad & Gordon Cooper get set for Gemini 5, Aug 1965. The 7 day, 23 hour mission was the 1st time NASA held the world record for duration in space, having beat the USSR’s Vostok 5’s accomplishment in 1963. Hurricane Betsy’s impending presence cut G5’s mission short a day. The cabin size of the Gemini capsule was equivalent to the front seat of a VW Beetle. Nearly 8 days spent in such a small space. Incredible achievement.

The NERVA was a prototype rocket engine built to test the viability of nuclear engines in spaceflight. The test program was so successful that NASA cleared the engine for flight. The engine unfortunately never flew to space as NERVA ended due to budget cuts in 1973.
