Thinking more along the lines of they only had 3 of them shorty after that.

The stuff documented in yesterday's XKCD sounds like something a Fan would come up with on a Blue-Hair Day:

Quote:The flags were probably vaporized on impact, because we launched it before we had finished figuring out how to land. That makes sense from an engineering standpoint, but also feels like a metaphor.
The best part is, it was something that was done in real life!

A commissioned piece from KatieOK90, from a recent con. With etsy page
Considering where Jet's story has been going lately, it makes a nice change of pace

Saw a tweet and thought of someone we know. The expression alone makes it... a nice little piece of fanart.

Or, at least, it has water.

Back in the water again
There is, Another. Looks to be in a 'all parts present' condition, if not complete. A non-running project, if you will. Half-finished. Ran out of time and money

Spotted in a dig about the Fast and Furious series on Tumblr. I really wish I knew where the gifs are from:

RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux - Dartz - 08-04-2021
You won't believe me. I looked it up to be sure.
They're actually from latest Fast and the Furious film.
RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux - Foxboy - 08-06-2021
See, it was Tumblr. I have no idea where half the stuff they get comes from and they often do intentional misattribution of .gifs.
But thanks for the info.
RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux - Spoilsport - 08-22-2021
I... the Fast & Furious franchise is like someone's Hero-system superhero team concept was "skill and power FX must include cars (obvious, inaccessible focus), -1/2".

RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux - Dartz - 07-08-2022
Ciara, her sister Orla, and the flagship Eithne Have been decommissioned from the Irish Navy.
I guessed the date right. More or less.
It's not clear yet what's happening to them.

Here's a pretty fascinating article about Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, specifically about an undoubtedly spectacular 1997 eruption there:
VolcanoCafe: Io’s Pillan Patera eruption in 1997: the largest lava falls ever seen
One can't help but imagine a bunch of Fen going to Io and trying to film its volcanic eruptions in the manner of the late, legendary volcanologist couple Katia and Maurice Krafft.

Completely invalid prediction, and not just because it didn't happen.
Astronomy.com, back in 2018: Two stars will NOT merge and explode into red fury in 2022. The prediction was caused by faulty data-interpretation.
The earthsky.org article never was updated. Remind me to not trust earthsky.org again.

AI powered drone recognises human operator as obstacle to mission.. Promptly attempts to eliminate operator.
When trained not to do that - it attempts to eliminate the comm tower.
It didn't even need to be struck by lightning. So long as it doesn't start listening to Incubus.....
RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux - Bob Schroeck - 06-02-2023
It makes for a good story seed for Fenspace, but according to other articles I read on this, it's nothing more than a fast-moving urban legend spawned out of that conference.

So, I just happened to come across this cheeky Reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/comments/17opugj/the_double_decker_the_worlds_first_2in1_state/
And here's the image if you don't want to click the link for whatever reason(s):
![[Image: the-double-decker-the-worlds-first-2-in-...a67df6a8e4]](https://preview.redd.it/the-double-decker-the-worlds-first-2-in-1-state-solution-v0-lajhwr2edmyb1.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=62536d315ae8d4080dc4ac8d3bedfba67df6a8e4)
No joke, my very first thought upon seeing this was that, if you got a bunch of Fen and gave them blue hair, plenty of handwavium, and even more drugs, then they might be able to pull it off! (What that says about me is something I'll leave up to you to decide...)
(Now, whether anyone would actually want to live in what's effectively a nation-sized bunk-bed is a topic for a completely different thread, but it's the thought that counts...right?
