The Real Thing May Have Only Been The Size Of A Beach Ball, But Making Sputnik The Same Height As Yuri

Off to catch a date with the sun!

Speeding through at over 500 times the speed of sound, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – on December 14th, where it sampled it’s particles and magnetic fields. Going where no probe has gone before.

History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite. It was around the size of a beach ball, weighed 83.6 kg (183.9 pounds), and took about 98 minutes to orbit Earth on its elliptical path. This ushered in a new age of political, military, technological, and scientific developments, and although the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the U.S.-U.S.S.R space race.

Cassini space probe gijinka!

It's a 3-and-1/2-human-sized-coveralls-stitched-together sort of dig

for the artist ask 2, 3 and 14 :]

2: Who is your favourite character to draw?

I’m tempted to say “my JWST personification” but the champion for the title is surprisingly split between multiple characters!

I like doodling Webb because they’re easy to draw and have that certified funky fresh look but I also draw Sputnik and Explorer a lot and have tonnes of unposted traditional doodles that mainly focus on a select few OCs. I suppose it’s just hard to choose since my brain enjoys bouncing all over the place.

(Previously mentioned select few OCs in question)

3: What song(s) do you listen to when you do art?

Hah! All of them!

Whenever I listen to tunes I’m always either walking or drawing, the overlap is huge. I go limp and get dragged wherever the algorithm takes me—just look at my disaster of a YT music wrap.

14: What was something that you used to draw a lot that you don’t draw as much anymore?

We don’t talk about my Australian bird gijinka era… 🕴

A scheming pirate lackey from the retrofuture!

Hey hey hey! New song just dropped! 🕺🎸🥁

Roll out the red carpet fellas! 

I think now’s a good time to mention that I really, really like ChipSpeech. It’s a funky little piece of software but boy is it awesome!
