It's not a glamorous shot... But I still can't stop smiling at the fact that last night, light from another galaxy, thats been traveling undisturbed for the past 23 MILLION years, ended its journey in the lens of my camera.8yr ⋅ ChrisGnam ⋅ r/space
Been feeling stuck for awhile and getting overwhelmed by modeling... So I forced myself to model my remote tonight. Any feedback is welcome!2yr ⋅ ChrisGnam ⋅ r/blender
In just 9 days, New Horizons will arrive at Pluto! This picture was taken a decade ago, just prior to launch... Its amazing to think about how far this machine has traveled...9yr ⋅ ChrisGnam ⋅ r/space

I just bought the full game a few days ago. I found science very confusing at first, and I'm still not an amazing player... but I launched my first solar probe tonight, and I thought it looked quite beautiful :) Thanks to this community for encouraging me to buy the game!!8yr ⋅ ChrisGnam ⋅ r/KerbalSpaceProgram
