And the first thing I thought of was interplanetary tentacle porn.

I am fucking ruined as a human being.

Free e-book: The Saturn System Through the Eyes of Cassini

Ring around a star

And the star is Fomalhaut, only 25ly from Sol. Wouldn't want to live there, though - apparently, the system's going through its Late Heavy Bombardment phase. ("Today's weather: cloudy, with a 10% chance of multiple dino-killer meteor strikes.")

I'm thinking that this probably happened years ago in Fenspace:
Google adds planets and moons to Maps, but puts bits in the wrong places

Yeah, but our Lenin's a gas giant... welp, gotta update the wiki I guess.

Which works, given that so many of us see Lenin as a gasbag with to much internal gravitas.

Commander Hadfield reviews six fictional spacecraft.

"This one at least looks like it has air in it, which is nice." Heh.

Noah Scott would think building such a system is patently absurd.

Helen Scott would ask which planets the construction crew wanted to start with.

A wee bit of a soundtrack.

Here's some pretty cool pics that I just found:

KRUSTY: Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling TechnologY

"No, Kohran, you can't have any more U235. We need it here."

Now I know how Noah got so rich so quick.

Book a stay at this space hotel in 2022 - if you have $9.5M to spare

What is this, I don't even.

Magic + Power Armour.

Nanoha has often been called "Gundam as a magical girl show", so I'm not surprised.

Today's Freefall has an insight as to the Fen mentality toward distance.

Astronomers announce they've discovered another twelve moons orbiting Jupiter.

Because Jupiter didn't have enough moons already.

Of the two stories I've about this found so far, The Register has the more intelligent one overall, while CBC goes into more depth.

One that I expect does not happen in Fenspace: The Canadian Space Commerce Association has declared itself insolvent and has ceased operations.

Quote:The CSCA official stressed that the decision is not indicative of Canadian commercial space in general.
