Hello, I am Jess, formerly known as Talv or TaIverd.
I currently go by she/her pronouns. :)
This account is where I talk about a lot of space stuff, KSP and my life. I think sharing my experiences is fun!
I hope you enjoy my content and my account, have a good one!

Same guy who made Crazy Frog, by the way.
I’m a digital artist and director, doing visual work for films, TV, web, games and stage.
I’m currently looking for new projects; on commission or freelance.
Previous clients include NASA/JPL, SpaceX, Silverback Films among others.

I would like to introduce to you my favorite gigastructure - the Alderson Disk.
The disk begins closer than the orbit of Mercury and ends at the orbit of Jupiter. It is constructed by mining the entire solar system, asteroids and kuiper belt objects included. (1/3)

Everyone knows about the Space Shuttle disasters of STS-51L and STS-107, but did you know there were many near misses throughout the program?
Let's talk about it in this thread. 🧵

The Alderson Disk is a massive waste of resources that is massively outdated by the time we'd even have the technology to construct it. It also would make space travel from its surface impossible without weird fuckery.
It's awful and I love it.

The atmosphere of the disk is prone to being stolen by the Sun, so it is kept in by a massive retaining wall.
In order to keep a day night cycle, the Sun is bobbed up and down between the disk.
The structure would have about the equivalent of lunar gravity. (2/3)

Let's stop cherry picking so much and realize both countries in the space race progressed humanity forwards.
However, on the same note, let's stop pretending the Soviet Union won the race.

A whatever you make of it. Erik is an incredible VFX artist who makes some of the most beautiful renders of spacecrafts I've ever seen.
I just think its funny he went from making Crazy Frog to that.

IT IS NOT EARTH OR SPACE.
IT IS BOTH.
IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY.
IT CAN CONTINUE TO BE THIS WAY.
With an estimated price tag of $4.2 billion per launch, is it sustainable for NASA to send humans to the moon and ultimately Mars? 60 Minutes asks Jim Free, who oversees the Artemis program.

OTD in 2007:
Space Shuttle Discovery's landing gear fails to deploy properly and the orbiter lands on its stomach, crippling the air frame and severely injuring the crew.
This failure would lead to the cancellation of the shuttle program a few months later.

Two near misses are relatively well known, STS-27 and STS-93. However, these are only scratching the surface of the issues that haunted the shuttle throughout its entire career.
Here's a (non-exhaustive) list of all the times a shuttle nearly experienced some sort of mission..

No one actually believed the Martian's threats held any weight. Surely, they weren't actually planning to do anything - much less would they actually be capable going toe to toe with Earth in any prolonged conflict.

Ah well, farewell to the dead-on-arrival KSP2 then.
I had so much hope for this game and was let down so hard. I would've been totally fine with them delaying it however long they needed but the half-baked product we got soured my taste of ever even touching the game again.
70 jobs have been cut from the ksp2 team, including the *community manager*
This comes after articles were released stating that the publisher was planning on layoffs and *project cancellations* to save money
So like... is KSP2 dead?
