An illustration of the ill-fated Sealab III.

Although it didn't turn out as badly as the Soviet subsea base "Chernomor".

Seriously? Nobody? This is cool stuff.

Too busy studying I'll watch later. Back to caffeine overdose.

>>3268639
Caffeine pills or coffee?

If you're loooooooking for me,
You better check under the sea.
'Cause that is where you'll fiiiiind me,
Underneath the seaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa laaaaaaaaaab

Yup, it was a real program. They even had a Dolphin assistant just like in the show. (His name was Tuffy. :3 )

Hai.

>>3268684
Must've been fun times with that dolphin.

>>3268711
I have no words for that

>>3268701

Hai. How's your project going?

:o sealab was based off of a man-made island?

>>3268715
OC by me.

>>3268737
slowly: I can't seem to find any decent sized tanker trailers. At this point I'm considering trying some other things, including building some kind of triangular prism on the back of a flatbed trailer.

>>3268745
I love you. Aren't you the guy who introduced us to bib.tiera.ru?

>>3268771
Why yes, yes I am.

Mind you, I was initially introduced to it by someone off /sci/. Might be CCM, not sure.

>>3268738

Yup, it was used to raise/lower the personell transfer capsule, like a pressurized aqua elevator.

Incidental coolness: The Russians and the US both developed their own undersea assault rifles during that period as the possibility of assaults on undersea military bases was taken very seriously.

The rifles shot giant, gas propelled needles. Pic related, the handgun sized version.

Here's the modern version, the HK P11, mainly issued to SEAL coastal assault teams deployed from submarines.

Does that guy have the red-green Zhakarov glasses?

glorious. What's the orbital sagan?
>>3268801
>>3268793
that's pretty cool. Any idea why they couldn't have oxygen tanks on the guns/connected to the barrels though?

Here's the semiauto rifle version. Mean lookin' gun.

>>3268808
Yes, yes he does.

In 2189 it was decided that Vesta would be repurposed as a moon orbiting Mars at a distance of 94,000km for some semblance of tides and to stimulate volcanic activity. Future Inurdaes informs me that he took control of the Tharsis Tholus senate in 2214 and suggested that Vesta be melted down via orbital solettas and restructured into a giant orbital colony in the shape of Carl Sagan's smiling face. The plan was received with thunderous applause (Sagan has become thew new Jesus, for all the right reasons) and that's that.

you're inexplicably good, I want to sit and listen to you bullshit for the rest of time.
When I was younger I seriously planned to pretend to be jesus mk. II at some point after I'd had a relatively successful career, to see if I could use religion for good and straighten out morality.

>>3268842
>you're inexplicably good, I want to sit and listen to you bullshit for the rest of time.
Congratulations, you've just convinced me to begin writing a series of novels.

>When I was younger I seriously planned to pretend to be jesus mk. II at some point after I'd had a relatively successful career, to see if I could use religion for good and straighten out morality.
What the fuck, are you me?

>>3268852

I'm 147,000 words ahead of you. Try and catch me, Kakufag.

>>3268856
I wrote a 1,500 word essay on Space as Australia's Next Economic Boom in the space of an hour with nothing but optimism and two caffeine pills, and got an A.

And the teacher told me it wasn't even fully related to what I was actually supposed to write about.

Try me.

>>3268852
>books
DO IT. I can't into creativity, but you definitely can. You get extra internets if you make a graphic novel.
>also imitating jesus
It's pretty common, actually. A load of people in Jerusalem think they're the messiah reborn every year, meaning the phenomenon is known as Jerusalem Syndrome.
>>3268856
you're also awesome. I'd seriously buy anything you wrote.

Your teacher should be shot in the face.

>>3268874
Your mother is shot in the face frequently
>>3268863
Can you upload it? I'm perplexed as to how Australia could end up being major competitors in terms of space flight.

As a sidenote, I haven't written much lately because my PSU has been behaving like a retard, but I think it's pretty cool. It involves mind uploading, interstellar travel, realistic depictions of nanotechnology, relativistic warfare, and them main character is both a parahuman and a posthuman because I didn't like how in all of science fiction all posthumans were either uploads or AI's. No love for furries?

It's essentially a trolling novel.

>>3268902
oic, disregard this.

>>3268892
>>3268883
>>3268863
are you the same person?

>>3268902

>>3268909
I thought it was fiction, whoops. Thanks for linky
What power PSU do you need? newegg.com have some for relatively small amounts of monies

>>3268902
No. But great minds think alike.

>>3268883
Won't let me post link :/

>>3268933
yeah, pastebin links are banned for some reason. Reading now

Yo inurdaes, I'm real happy for you and imma finish reading, but high EK has the worst grammar of all time. Of all time.

>>3268963
I've noticed. I don't especially like EK, even though I tried treating her as just the poor underdog at first.

I never type that horribly when high. In fact, it usually does in the opposite direction.

>>3268976
When I first saw EK I was the same, but then she crapped all over about 15 of my threads and then claimed she always made rational well thought out arguments. Pretty much at the point now where my immediate response to her is to post this image and ask if she has MPD

>>3268981
is that...
is that an original?

>not the cartoon

>>3268981
Why did you have to rape a perfectly good comic just for attention?


Wait a minute
I responded
I was outsmarted
Where is my suicide pill

>>3269007
Why does anyone rape anything?
For the pleasure and the 'lulz.'

>>3268988
No.

>>3268985
What the shit.

>>3269029
indeed.

Pascal votes we collaborate on /sci/fi writings.

perhaps the world is struck by a meteor, and the only survivors are 3 water deep water research colonies.

Then they into space

>>3269036
One is geodesic, one was funded by NASA , and one was built by a student and is 30ft off of the welsh coast?

>>3269036
I'm sure Mad Scientist would love that.

I'd contribute but seeing as I have never written any kind of narrative longer than 1,200 words I'm going to try and do one myself, re-read and edit my then-realized drivel and perhaps come back to such a project when I have some experience.

>>3269043
will you bring females along? if not, you can't repopulate and your colony dies before generations into space.

>>3269045
If you have any skill whatsoever you're doing better than me
>>3269046
eugh, vaginas. Nope.

>>3269057
that said, I'm a strong believer on AI grey goo being the future. perhaps that should be my angle

>>3269057
Then might I suggest we set the story a few decades further down, when you have a large underwater mansion and all the cool walsians come hang out.

>>3269070

>>3269078
like the original silo with $225,000 of iron? Gosh darned blinging.

I don't mind not being in it/being the EK of the underwater world if it helps the story

>>3269036

>>perhaps the world is struck by a meteor, and the only survivors are 3 water deep water research colonies.

Actually I've always liked the idea of a zombie movie set aboard a deep sea base.

The crew watches the news in horror as it reports a zombie virus outbreak, which quickly consumes the globe. They decide to stay aboard the self sufficient station rather than return to the surface to search for uninfested regions.

Until bloated waterlogged zombies begin to approach the station, walking along the ocean floor.

As the tragic/romantic sublot, the protagonist's wife is an astronaut still alive with her crew aboard the space station.

>>3269099
when will the space zombies?

>>3269169
Good question

>>3269169

Kinda hard to fit more than a few zombies inside the ISS.

>>3269158
Oh god, I lol'd.

>>3269158
> human=KILLATRON;

Im confused... youre setting a boolean variable equal to the laser variable 'KILLATRON'? Now, im not very familiar with the giant death laser API but i don't think it works that way

>>3269213
ah, crap. Sorry
should be >human=KILLATRON(googlemaps.x(),googlemaps.y());

Damn this looks interesting. I'll have to give it a look.
