I also finished this one, the day's 16 prompt : "ROCKET" the protagonist is the salamander scout again, i kinda like to draw this charter... So the "Rocket" in question is actually based on a Javelin: a real anti tank weapon! Hope you like it! 🐲🐉 #inktober #inktober2020 #inktoberrocket #warhammer40000 #warhammerminiatures #warhammercommunity #wh40k #warhammerfanart #warhammer40k #spacemarine #salamanders40k #soldier #fanart #arte #art #rocket #javelin #disegnoamano #disegno #drawing #handdrawn #copicmarkers #markers #ohuhumarkers #colored #artwork #scoutmarine #game #miniature https://www.instagram.com/p/CGksmZbFyN_/?igshid=1je3c8szhi9lr
So the wise man once said...
I love that Roadster in space.
Would prefer to drive it though.
“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”
— Douglas Adams, from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Honestly I don’t really understand why they didn’t call the APOLLO missions the ARTEMIS missions! Artemis is the greek goddess of the moon, not Apollo xD
Dat rocket does look cool though. I prefer posting about astrophysics, but I’m having a lazy day and rockets are easy to find and cool to look at. Apologies for anyone expecting another post on stars or memes.

Video released by SpaceX of a pad abort test.
“The video is filmed from the point-of-view of an astronaut inside the rocket — the rocket that accelerates from zero to 100 mph in 1.2 seconds, that is.” x

NASA Langley researchers are experts in modeling and simulations for entry, descent and landing, working on missions since the Viking lander in 1976. In this episode, we explore the challenges of guiding landers like Mars InSight through the Martian atmosphere for a safe landing.
NASA InSight launched on March 5, 2018.
