space girl comic

oh boy. this one took me a long time to draw. illustration is so haaard! what am i even doing drawing a webcomic?
fun fact: a fully-grown t-rex would be over 5 metres from head to bum, much larger than this little guy.
fun fact 2: grass didn’t exist in the mesozoic when the dinos were kicking around, meaning the time traveller in this imaginary scenario isn’t dini but the t-rex.
i like to imagine the ridiculous amount of time sedna must have spent practising and fine-tuning in order to nail that shot instead of just knocking on dini’s door. but then again, what was sedna gonna do with her time anyway if not launch rockets?
if only sedna had powered the rocket with whatever anti-gravity magic is in her ponytail, then she wouldn’t have had any problems.
kids, always remember your parachute. or at least make sure your neighbours have insurance.
for the curious:
specific impulse = fuel efficiency
delta-v = amount of fuel (measured in potential velocity)
t.w.r. = thrust-to-weight ratio = rockety-power vs gravity
(if it’s less than 1, you won’t be going to space today)
it’s tough being the strict parent
of course, theia was completely destroyed in this moon-baby-making collision. but don’t tell dini that.
people call it the ‘dark side of the moon’, but because it has almost no maria it’s technically brighter than the near side.
pink floyd lied to us all.
maria is the plural form. mare is the singular form. (pronounced mah-ray, not like the horse)
you gotta know your latin if you wanna sound smart in astronomy.
technically they would be called dust angels
i love that nasa spent $25 billion putting man on the moon, only to spend $5.50 on the flag, which they instantly knocked over when the lander took off
