When we go to the stars we'll be propelling our craft with far more advanced methods, I'm sure, but you just can't match the science-fictional aura of the circular ion drives. In that vein, my "Ignition, full thrust".

The first operational #optical #communication line arrived in 📆1792, covering #France 🇫🇷 with a network of 556 stations stretching a total distance of 4,800 km https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_communication#Semaphore_line

"What is it?"
"It's uh...it's uh...it's green!"
My new artwork "Ignition, full thrust in bluish green".

A rich green galaxy, nebula, or whatever it is that starship is making for. My new piece "Ignition, full thrust in green".

I kinda like the color on this version. My piece "Ignition, full thrust in gold".

Flaming orange, though the exhaust might look a bit greenish, I kinda like how this one came out. My new piece "Ignition, full thrust in orange".

A burst of happiness for your day I think: my science-fictional piece "Ignition, full thrust in purple".

Want to escape your own humdrum region of space? Hop on to the ion express, and settle into your seats as the engines light up, and transport you to a new wonderscape of trackless stars hidden within that deep blue nebula.

This is a cool idea I've had for a while: a circular spaceship with a glowing stardrive on the back, going "Ignition, full thrust" as it heads toward a beautiful nebula.

i suppose my dreams of building a lighter than air starship have to start somewhere..

#StarTrek - '#TheEleosTrials' - A #FanFilm

"The #USSEleos, a #Mythos class light #Destroyer, saw service in 2220 as part of the Future Advance #Sublight Technology for the 2220s (#FAST22) project. This project aimed to fully integrate #ImpulseDrives into the command hull and enable #Starfleet to retire pontoon designs alongside legacy #Fusion and #IonDrives."

This is my digital painting "Sheer thrust", showing a close-up view of an ion thruster or some such, propelling a spaceship through sending out gossamer plumes of blue gas.
