For some reason, that is an amazingly hilarious photo.

Beautiful view, isn’t it?

Like something out of my wildest imagination--or spaceweather.com.

The naked-eye view through the transparent dome material is cool, but the real view is developed from the counter-rotating turrets mounted top and bottom on the thrust ring.

When an object is close enough, it can be rendered stereoscopically on your in-room monitors. Otherwise, we combine the images to reduce atmospheric shimmer and electronic noise.

We are trying to establish a time-synchronization function across the diameter of the Thrust Ring. that would give us a synthetic aperture of over two miles.

Unfortunately, our total light-gathering power will not allow us to image planets outside of our own system, but we should be able to get some very nice views of the local worlds.

It's a small world, after all: a world inhabitated by mimes, apparently.

For anyone worried about the currently conflict between Kim and the Castle allies, put your mind at ease.

Nah, that was your fish.

It wasn't Winston. He was out on a date with Angela the Angelfish. ;-)

I'm glad you posted that.

I was thinking about composing a message to be released when we return from Mars, bearing a few asteroids as gifts to Humanity.

Then of course, I would have to apologize for the devastation they caused, after they got away from us and impacted on Earth.

Apologizing especially to the people inhabiting the island of South Korea...
