helium-3

helium-3 published on No Comments on helium-3

helium-3 is theoretically useful for nuclear fusion (instead of fission), a technology which still isn’t yet viable, and even if it becomes so, it might just be cheaper and easier to build a bunch of solar panels and batteries on earth than set up a mining operation on the moon. still, it makes for a neat science fiction concept, which is something i guess.

and yes, technically i just made a sequel to the comic “helium” called “helium-3”. hire me, microsoft.

(this comic contains an easter egg that tells you when i drew it. i wonder if anyone will notice.)

we did it mates! 100 comics! that’s almost 0.006% of the number of peanuts strips! thanks everyone for supporting my now three-digit-long space comic strip series. hopefully i’ll manage to stay alive and not amputate my right hand for long enough to bring you at least 900 more.

unfortunately i have to start updating sedna only 2 times/week from now on (tue + sat), as 3 isn’t a sustainable pace for me except maybe as a full-time job, and the only reason i’ve managed it so far was due to my massive buffer. but i’m sure you’ll all forgive me.

…you will, right? O_O;

who is ako?

i love drawing ako. she’s about 50 million times easier to draw than actual mars rovers (no offense percy, but you’re just so stupidly complicated).

hey, does anyone else feel an unbearable urge to go watch wall-e for some reason, or just me…?

i’m just gonna drop the whole quote here before y’all accuse me of plagiarism.

“some part of our being knows this is where we came from. we long to return. and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. we’re made of star stuff. we are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” – carl sagan (super smart science man)

looks like astronomy’s back on the menu boys! ’bout time too. we’ve barely even seen sedna bust out the telescope since the first 9 comics. seriously, this is supposed to be a space comic! get your act together tom!

poor betelgeuse. people can’t talk about astronomy for 5 minutes without mentioning their desire to see this particular star violently commit suicide within their lifetimes. last year when betelgeuse dimmed significantly millions of people were chanting excitedly for this guy to hurry up and die (turned out it was just a gas cloud passing in front of it).

awfully rude. honestly.
