Webcomics featuring sedna

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)
who is sedna?

hey, look! a full-colour illustration. that’s the thing that real artists do, right?
i’m gonna do one of these every ten comics or so to have a bit of fun with colour and see what fun situations sedna and dini dream themselves up in. i kinda suck at digital illustration though, so be gentle with me. i’m still figuring this out as i go.

theia
of course, theia was completely destroyed in this moon-baby-making collision. but don’t tell dini that.

maria
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.
snow angels
technically they would be called dust angels
mare tranquillitatis
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
