  1. That's their earliest guess (unless they find something else; as it is, she has blood in her urine and needs more tests).
  2. Christmas bombed; my wife is still in the hospital and may not be out until after New Years (or even later). She's been in since Dec. 9th. Half the time sitting here crying, the other half just sitting here numb.
  3. Talk about worldbuilding extraordinaire!
  4. Say what? O.O
  5. I just had a crazy thought:
  6. *Imagines Tekering looking in a window, and some lady who just got out of the shower screaming her head off and running for dear life!*
  7. My personal belief is that at some point, someone criticized having giant robots in anime series and it hit Kawamori-san badly (either Macross or something else he was working on). After that (one or perhaps multiple incidents), he began developing in-story reasons why they are necessary. JMO.
  8. I first saw "Star Fleet" on Showtime cable, and was immediately taken by it. Years later I learned Brian May did the theme
  9. I always wanted one, but the prices have been ridiculous over the years. Maybe they'll do a reissue someday and I can jump on it!
  10. Same here; really Liked Gil Gerard. He just seemed to fit the role so well, and the first season was really well done (the second... not so much). I still remember when I first saw the opening: On that note: if they're reissuing the Black Hole models, then they need to reissue the Buck Rogers ones as well!
  11. I get a chance, I'm going to have to try just "bare plastic" with simple panel lining. Especially since such a thing would make it a lot easier on my lungs!
  12. Yeah; I surmised that as well. The ol' "let's wow'em with what we can pull off" thing. That sounds like a not-too bad opening to a Macross RPG campaign: a colony fleet comes across a planet whose moon has a perfectly circular orbit and ancient Protoculture ruins on the moon's surface. The commander decides to investigate this and sens the players in their valks to take a look...
  13. One that interested me was the Nightflyer from the 80's movie Nightflyers: Better pics of it here: https://propstore.com/product/nightflyers-1987/blue-alien-spaceship/ The ship was designed by production designer/illustrator Guy Hendrix Dyas, and built by David Sandefur (at least from the info I could gather): https://forthehellofitreviews.wordpress.com/2018/12/16/nightflyers-george-r-r-martins-novella-vs-syfy-channel-series/
  14. Eyes are wrong (too light, not "smoky" enough), head shape is off (too wide, too short from top to bottom), lips are too pale and too thin, nose is too wide at the nostrils and lacking the definition Gal Gadot's has, and her jawline is a bit off. Maybe this is her stunt double? Comparison:
  15. Neat! Kind of reminds me of these: https://www.propblur.com/store/c1/PropBlur.comMain
  16. From the looks of the trailer...
  17. What I would do: Then,
  18. And that makes it n entire operation that I cannot imagine anyone really desiring to undertake if the targets aren't stationary. Given the large amount of opportunity for error/ "a miss", it would make more sense to simply dispatch a fighter closer to the target where such time-delay and distance would not impede success. My mistake; I just realized you were talking about the Alpha-1 and Omega-1; for some reason, I thought you were speaking about the Ghost. Oops! Right; I think the Moon's orbit isn't perfectly circular.
  19. Thanks for the well wishes, folks. ❤️ Definitely a tough slog all ways around! About the only thing I've been working on is getting more grey hairs! O.o
  20. At this rate...pepto bismo
  21. Very carefully, I would have to imagine! And I would assume: not requiring the complexity of added moving parts from a fighter with a couple of alternate modes, as well as a squishy and delicate organic pilot in a cockpit that required consumables such as breathable oxygen, in addition to radiation shielding and control interfaces/ displays. Yeah, that's what I thought (and good catch: it was 1.28! I hadn't caught that.).
  22. For Gil; the vocal version of the Buck Rogers End Title Theme ("Suspension"):
  23. Okay, here's goofy for ya: And an extra bonus:
