I decided to spoopify my profile picture for Halloween. I think the rest it speaks for itself.

YEAR 3, DAY 288 - AURORA 1 Back to the Mun... I got a bit carried away with the screenshots for this mission, so it will split into two parts (much like Munar 1!) This is part 2. Crew: Jebediah, Bob, Valentina Aurora 1 approaching the Mun After a day of drifting through space, Aurora 1 finally arrives at the Mun. It's been a long time since even a probe has felt the tug of the Mun's gravity, as exploration of the Mun has kind of been at the bottom of the list for Beyond. Thus, still much is unknown about its surface. But hopefully our new long-term exploration program uncovers more about the wonders of the ancient object. For the next hour or so, the crew watch as the Mun gets closer and closer to their spacecraft, until it's right on top of the them! As the spacecraft reaches it's periapsis, it begins it orbital insertion burn. We've done it! We have Kerbals circling the Mun! But that's not all, as now the crew must prepare for the actual landing part of their mission. You know, the part that's interesting? Bob goes for an EVA, and inspects both the command module and lander. Once everything is confirmed to be okay, Jebediah and Valentina transfer into Nugget, and undock from Chicken. They now begin the most dangerous part of the mission. "Mission Control, we see Kerbin on the horizon. Beginning de-orbit burn." - Jebediah Kerman The lander slowly coast down to the surface, and once it reaches 5km, the suicide burn begins. It'd extremely nerve wracking, and the lander has to pitch up a few times to continue flying, but in the end... ...they make it too the surface. "Nugget is on the plate, I repeat, nugget is on the plate" - Valentina Kerman Nugget is the first object to stand on the Mun since the Munmun Rover... so maybe not that long but still. The crew spend thirty minutes on the surface, preforming science and whatnot, before they suit up and prepare for their EVA. Jebediah is the first out of the hatch. "Stepping down the ladder..." "Mission control, it's good to be home!" - Jebediah Kerman Not just mission control, but the world erupts into a frenzy of cheers! Kerbalkind was once again another worldly species! Brand new, higher def video cameras capture the moment in better quality. After about a minute of frolicking, Jebediah turns around to face the ladder to give Valentina a hand. She steps off and they both begin to talk to each other, debating whether they should or shouldn't stay. The decide to stay. Jebediah prepares the flag, and the crew pose for their flag shot. After the ceremonial stuff is over, the real job begins the crew begin to explore the area the lander. Science collection CREW VERBAL LOG JEBEDIAH KERMAN: Val! I found evidence of life on the Mun! A giant bird's nest! VALENTINA KERMAN: That's called a crater, Jeb. JEBEDIAH KERMAN: How do we know a bird didn't leave it? VALENTINA: How are you a kerbonaut, Jeb? After around 30 minutes on the Mun's surface, the time comes to board back onto the lander. Jebediah climbs into the lander first. Once in the lander, the crew will stay on the surface for one more day. This will be a test of long term habitation of the Mun, as crews on future mission spend longer and longer times on the surface. 1 DAY LATER... Aurora 1's surface time comes to a close, and the crew begin preparations for liftoff from the surface. Blah blah, orbit, you get the jist. Next is the rendezvous and docking with the Command Module. Rendezvous burn The crew dock with Chicken, and transfer over their science. They then prepare the burn back to Kerbin. They'll be bringing the lander back with them, so they don't pollute Munar space. It'll be separated the moment they leave the Mun's SOI. Undocking lander Parachutes deployed Aurora 1 has made it back home! A new frontier of space exploration has opened, and Kerbals are back on track to becoming a multi-planetary species. Next Aurora mission: Kerbals back on Minmus.

There actually is an animal I know that does this in real life. Elysia Chlorotica, Or the Emerald Sea Slug, does this with specialized pouches in its intestines. These pouches collect the chloroplasts from the algae they eat, giving them their distinctive green color too. They can go for months without food!

So I've picked up a new game recently, and thought, "Oh I'll try it out for a few hours". 12 hours. In 3 days. I can quit whenever I want! But seriously, this game is really fun. What gamr is it? Surviving Mars, an uplifting take on neo-colonialism! Basically, the goal of the game is to make a self-sufficient colony on the surface of Mars. And with 8x107 DLC, you can set up trains, terraform, and do all sorts of other wacky stuff. I don't have any of them, but still. So I set about playing all of the tutorials, and then setting up my actual first colony. While sponsored by an international organization to colonize Mars, I still made it, let's say, American. I picked the U.S. seal as the main logo of the base, and named the base New Philadelphia. So the colony begins with the launch of the very first transport, named Constitution. We set up a small industrial complex, then set up a new area where the people will actually live. With more industry around it. So I waste a bunch of time, yada yada, and here's our colony: Dome 1, named New Kensington Colonists making their way to their new home. However, the expansion never stops. Soon we find more sources of water, and build on those, and then build more domes, which means more resources, which means further expansion. And with all this rapid expansion, New Philadelphia looks like this: Also, there was this guy who just collapsed of old age in the middle of a park. His dead body just sat there, while this guy just did squats right next to him. I appreciate the exercise, but can you maybe help out a little?

Kerbals and rockets never go well.
