Hello, World!
By eclectic demand (that is, demand from several sources - not just people) I'm launching a Blog. A Bliggety-blog.As the site's name suggests, this will be a gathering point for whatever Seeps out of my Mind. Topics will include, but will not be limited to:
- Space Exploration -
- SpaceX (SpaceX, SpaceX, SpaceX!)
- The wider commercial space industry
- Mars (or wherever) colonisation
- Astronomy, Planetary Science & Astrophysics (from the enthused layman's perspective)
- Cutting-edge tech development (like the work of the Eagleworks lab at NASA Johnson)
- Futurism
- Starry-eyed wonder
- Star Trek
- Other TV shows and movies like:
- Community
- Adventure Time
- Breaking Bad
- Battlestar Galactica
- Stargate
- Etcetera...
- The few computer games/sims that still hold my attention (or can be played on my machine)
- That graphic up top comes from Space Engine, for example
- Etcetera...
Full disclosure:
For now, much of what I post here is likely to be rehashed old posts of mine on Reddit.In part, I'm doing that because I think I write best when I'm answering questions about topics I feel like I have a handle on - but I'm also doing it because I've written reams and reams of stuff that I'm somewhat proud of, stuff I wouldn't mind having more people read... and of course, I'm trying to conquer years of 'inactivity' and anxiety by capping off a hole in my CV, and hopefully doing a little professional writing off the back of this blog... for... like... money!
So this thing exists for a number of reasons... part Destructor's Greatest Hits, part Destructor's Super-Serious Professional Portfolio, part Destructo-Journal, and part Destructor's Trippy Witterings.
Hopefully, this rubs people the right way.
Strap in, and let's (maybe) go!
