Obsidian. Quite the interesting rock. It manages to be completely black and shine brightly at the same time. Black like the endless void that surrounds our tiny planet. The pure crushing darkness that swallows light like a starving man, but shines with the blaze of trillions of stars. Humanity had not come across another spacefaring race yet, but the Universe is a big place, with millions of light years between habitable planets, and even more between galaxies.
The battleship Desolation slid through the same void, heading towards the Epsilon system. The ship was only visible when outlined by a star, its sides bristling with the outlines of laser cannons, rail guns, particle beams, missiles, plasma launchers, and the first of its kind, sitting in a turret above the main observation deck, the PSB. The PSB stands for photon sphere bomb, a weapon that could theoretically vaporize a whole planet. The bomb was made up of a sphere of one-way glass that would have a small laser fired inside, to reflect around and grow in power until it shattered on impact, releasing a devastating blast of light and radiation. This system was home to one of the worst trafficking rings in the entire Terran empire, only now discovered. The commander of this ship was Tzo Jhinn, the most promising new Admiral in the Terran Navy.

The Ilephanus class is around three miles long, with the raw firepower and hull armor to take on an average pirate fleet, which is about four cruisers, six frigates, and two battleships. The Desolation was part of the new fleet of battleships meant to draw the enemy in close, then completely and utterly demolish them. This would be the Desolation’s, and the new ship class’, test

Oh how he missed Eden . Yet before the his eyes could feast on the girl he so missed, Westley noticed something inconceivable. A barrage of pirate vessels in the distance. Skull and crossbones flown on each ship, shrouding the sea in a deep black shadow. Suddenly, the pirate general emerged, as if this one ship pillaged time itself. “King Black Beard” It seemed his name slid off every man's tongue on Wesley's ship, as if the words were heavy ash, leaving a swell of smoke in one's mouth. Battle alarms silenced the brave soldiers, yet they were one ship vs many. Defeat was inevitable. Nothing could stop the band of marauders from destroying the ship. It seemed no one would survive. For each soldier had heard the pirates policy, NO PRISONERS. A single shot was fired, and then suddenly a clash of bullets followed. The Unsinkable was lost to the great blue
Then red dwarf star that was discovered by Michal Gillion and his team with the spencer telescope. Once they discovered this star that is a lot small and colder than our sun, it allowed them to get a vision of the seven planets. The star is about 40 light years away. There are not 3 or four planets but there are 7 earth like planets.
Viking One, at the forefront of the interplanetary space race, after the manned missions to the moon. NASA conducted this mission to make it to the red planet; our brother planet, mars. Named after the roman god of war, this mission sought to learn more about what the planet has to offer. The year was 1976, and the American Bicentennial was coming up. The mission was set to land on the foreign planet on July fourth. Purley explorative, the goal of the mission was to successfully land and transmit data.
Soon after the ending of World War II, the United States had another battle to win: -- the Space Race. The Space Race was a competition of firsts against the Soviet Union. Which nation would be the first to have a man in space? Which nationality would take the first space walk? Who would be the first to have a man on the moon? These were the questions that swirled through the minds of Americans and Russians alike. After Russia took the lead, it was time for the U.S. to set out to do what seemed impossible— -- land a man on the moon. But before this began, Americans had some preparing to do. Gemini 9A was one of these preparations.
I have heard stories of a light so bright it could light up a world. A light so bright it caused darkness to hide in the shadows, bringing life to a world known as earth. On aged videos, with poor audio, there are the playbacks of streams flowing in crooked banks. The water sparkles, catching the light and playing with the shine, allowing glints and sparks. Ancient animals with black and white stripes, huge mains, or long necks, ruled dry lands where the sun poured throughout. It's beautiful, or it was beautiful.
During the space race, both the US and the Soviet Union achieved a lot. Some say the US won the race because it landed the first human on the Moon but no one can take anything away from the USSR. Soviet accomplished a lot and had more “firsts” then the US until the US caught up. Both the US and the USSR won the space race.
The battle between good and evil for control of the galaxy continues and you can be a part of the action. This exciting LEGO Star Wars building which brings the Sith fury-class Interceptor to life right in your hands. The preferred starship of the Sith lords and imperial interrogators dating back to the old republic, these ships served as base of operations during important missions in the early days of the galactic war. The large main chamber served as a communications room, featuring a holographic generator and other important equipment. Fast, heavily armed and with military grade shielding that far out matched what was needed for a vessel its size, its was deigned to get in get the job done and get out carrying its evil passengers safely. The realism of this completed ship will lead you to think that it is about to fly off the shelf and engage in battle with an x-wing starfighter with the most powerful and dastardly Sith of all Darth Vader himself at the helm and flanked with a tie fighter on each side.
“Affirmative.” The ships proton cannons came alive taking on the aircraft that were making dives on the ship.

Her very late application accommodation, paid off as she was welcome to be a piece of the trek. On NASA's twenty-fifth transport mission, the educator, Christa McAuliffe, was the principal non military personnel of America to fly on board the space carry. She abandons her home for 4 months to prepare alongside different space travelers before she can go through the space. Morton Thiokol, an aviation organization which was shrunk by NASA to construct rocket promoter, used to dispatch the Challenger. After the sheltered arriving of STS-51-C Morton Thiokol begins setting up the dispatch of Challenger space carry, Roger Boisjoly, begins assessing space carry strong rocket engine joints. Mr. Boisjoly discovers that there is a disintegration issue with the present O-ring on the space carry.
A shallow reflection of his light, surrounded by eternal darkness. The moon is invisible without her sun, and I was in a galaxy with not a star in sight. I was invisible in the universe of my family. There was no one in the vastness of my space that understood. Listened. Especially to what I really wanted: someone, something, anything genuine.
God. He had always lived in such a glow of brightness that no darkness had ever
Come closer, and you find blue is liquid water. This is the only rocky planet with water. Test the atmosphere, and again this planet is unique: the air contains a lot of reactive gas oxygen. And finally, take a closer look at the green areas. Here there is ample vegetation and animal life. This is the only planet in the solar system obviously inhabited life forms.
