Air and Space Photos from Alternate Worlds.

[BelfastBrawler]

So far i've seen only pictures of Aircraft and Spacecraft.
Are pictures of space actually ok?

This is what the sky would look on planet inside of a globular star cluster.

This is a photo taken from an icy moon of planet. The reason there's a huge galaxy in the sky is because the two galaxies are too close to eachother.

A deserted planet, much like mars, orbiting a red dwarf, causes the planet to be always in twilight.

The view of an icy planet's rings, formed probably from ice too.

Those are quite interesting views. Maybe one day we will be able to see these in real time.

Another update from The Snow Flies, covering the second Soviet shuttle mission, 2K1, using orbiter 1.02 "Burya". The mission sees Burya launches unmanned before being joined by two cosmonauts launched via Soyuz. After a successful docking, the Soyuz goes on to dock with Mir whilst Burya returns to Earth under automatic control.

Cool. So enough to scout and make light attack strikes.

Yeah, it was designed to protect Bomber blimp from fighters

Sounds cool. The fighters looked to be typical bi-planes. Armed with two rifle caliber MGs?

The first Soviet space shuttle launches. This is the title card for the first chapter of my new timeline, The Snow Flies. Lots more images to follow with future updates!

Wow, this really needs a "Holy Crap" button instead of just "like"!!!

I took my patch design from Baxter's Voyage and had Cafe Press make me a t-shirt. Now I can wear it to NASA and really confuse people!

I also have some coffee mugs coming. More memorabilia from timeline not our own.

 

[Ronpur]

And the coffee mugs arrived today!!

Images from Soviet shuttle mission 2K2, in which orbiter 1.02/2K "Burya" docks with Mir, as featured in the latest update of The Snow Flies.

More from a world in which The Snow Flies. Six years after her maiden flight, the original Soviet shuttle Buran finally returns to space, but this time with a crew aboard...

 

[Ronpur]

Amazing photos and a very interesting timeline!

 

[Archibald]

Seconded !

After a minor launch anomaly that saw one of the four Energia core stage engines shut down prematurely, Buran mission 1K3 had the sad duty to prepare the Mir space station for retirement and destruction. The station was de-orbited by a Progress M2 cargo ship in November 1997.
