this is my sneaky way of showing the size differences between some famous rockets.

for those who don’t know, the ‘v-2’ rocket (aka a4) on the far left was 14 metres tall and was the first rocket to ever reach space in 1944. it was built by the nazis to bomb london (but luckily they mostly missed).

the ‘saturn v’ on the right was the rocket that brought people to the moon in 1968-72, and is still the largest rocket ever launched as of now (2021/08) at 110 metres tall. however, spacex’s 120m tall ‘starship’ is going to break that record when it launches (hopefully) later this year.

finally another slice of life illustration! these are way easier than drawing dinosaurs or spaceships.

this one probably doesn’t have as nice colours or composition as some of my other illustrations, but i sure had a blast adding all the little easter eggs around sedna’s room (i wonder if any rocket nerds will notice anything… familiar about some of sedna’s rocket designs). :P

it’s easy to think of the ancient egyptians as living at the dawn of civilisation and ourselves as living closer to the end of it, but on a universal scale, we are still the ancient egyptians.

also if you’re baffled by how long 100 trillion years is and want me to put it into perspective: imagine 1 trillion years. now multiply that by 100. there.

it’s illustration day lads! not 100% happy with the colours in this one but i’ve spent so much time fruitlessly tweaking it that i really just need to move on with my life. hope you guys like it.

being able to do chalk art like this is one nice perk about living in a cul-de-sac in a country that doesn’t rain every second day. for reference, a diplodocus is about 26 metres (85 feet) long , and a redstone rocket (which carried alan shepard, the first american into space in 1961) is 25 metres (82 feet) tall. so i think the rocket is a little scaled down in this illustration, but if i zoomed out any further, sedna and dini would have just been tiny little specs.
