okay i think i’m ready to call this done…
wolf parade’s music video yulia was a huge inspiration for this, along with my untiring addiction to painting stars
if you’d like, you can preorder this as a print here!! the final prints will have gold foil overlay on the white planet graphic and i’m EXTREMELY excited about it <3
This is Kjell Lindgren. He’s a NASA astronaut who just got back from 5 months on the International Space Station. There are two reasons why this picture is hilarious:
His wife is flawless and makes bad space puns to make him do household chores.
I have that shirt. Thousands of people have that shirt. That shirt is available at Target. Which means actual astronaut Kjell Lindgren, with his wardrobe already full of NASA-issued and logo-emblazoned clothes, was at Target, saw a NASA shirt, and was like, “Yes, I am buying this because this is what I want to spend my actual astronaut salary on.”
tl;dr NASA employs a bunch of fucking nerds
It gets better.
Courtesy of Wikipedia, here’s the poster NASA released for his mission to the ISS:
AU where Qui-Gon fuckin obliterates Darth Maul and Anakin grows up with two dads. And then stabs Palpatine with his laser sword instead of a room full of kindergarteners. Everyone is happy.
yeah but then theres no darth vader
Do you think I care? Obi-Wan is happy. Qui-Gon is happy. Anakin and Padme are happy and raising their tiny children. Palpatine’s gone. Padme gets the senate together and they pass reforms ensuring another Palpatine can never happen. Luke and Leia grow up with a happy childhood, together, with loving parents and uncles and aunts. The Organas and Ahsoka are there too. Leia grows up to be a senator with her mother’s influence, instead of just her legacy.
Anakin nicknames his robot arm “Darth Vader.” Luke loves it. Obi-Wan is not amused.
