A cute picture and an interesting quote.

This one is just TOO MUCH

It reminds me a documentary I just saw a month ago, about Robert Saint-Rose, an ex-sportsman from Martinique island who wanted in the middle of the seventies to be the very first french to walk on the moon, after seeing the Apollo landing (it was also a political act since that island was in much violent trouble with France back then about its independance). So he built a "spaceship" made from parts of cars, fridges..., and powered by... Infamous martinican poet and political figure Aimé Césaire's poetry. Yes, you read it right.

Surprisingly, his spaceship never lifted off the fateful day. But the day after, he and his spaceship totally vanished and nobody ever heard of him again.

And yes, it is a true story https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/086911-000-A/zetwal/ (no English version available unfortunately, it is really a sad but very poetic adventure that displays human will and beliefs at its finest, even if underlined by an immense naivety that makes you think rather than laugh)

Shouldn't raccoons be flying trashcans?

This may be Europe!

Well, in the Rescue Rangers episode, they used one of those pressure-sealed containers with a window they use in the fancy science labs. That doesn't sound like it would be too easily available

Junkyard Space Program?

So I guess they are the "Trash Squirrel" Squadron.

Whelp, time to see how well they have constructed that rocket then ~ xD

It still amazes me how much thought and effort you put into these 'warm-ups'. The upside down trash can with a washing machine door for an entry hatch makes SO much sense. I also love that the astroNUT has a belt on that's obviously far too large for him so that he has to tie it in a know rather than hook the two ends together properly. It sells the scene perfectly without throwing it in our faces.

Oh jeez this is so precious :D All the details that wirewolf above mentioned, along with the expressive gestures of the support crew and the joyful ignorance of the pilot just sell this. I can't help think of Kerbals...

I have to agree, these warm-ups might not be that invested, but to be honest seeing them all together hits me as coffee table compendium quality.

He looks so proud ! ^^

Fun Fact : Squirrels are light enough and their muscles strong enough for them to survive a fall at terminal velocity. So the little guy wouldn't need a parachute if something goes wrong ; he would have to jump, and end up fine :P

Adorable.

I love it... just wonderful...

The Boeing Space Program.

I will stick with Space X!

At the aircraft maintenance, the mechanics at my location had a saying: "It's not going, it's a boeing."

Meanwhile in Boca Chica Texas https://youtu.be/wJUdY14kfhc 😆

Kirnut Space Program

And that's obviously how flying squirrels came to be.

Though i do wonder about their plans. A rocket is bad for going around the globe. And if that little guy is wearing his suit... Oh what am i complaining about. Those are pioneering squirrels. Sacrifices must be made for science.

Squirrels!!

I hadn't realized this before, but if the Moon is made of green cheese, Saturn must be made of nuts.

Adorable :)

"Yea, there are flying squirrels... but I'll be the first SPACE squirrel."

Lovely art, well done!

:3 reminds me of conkers bad furr day...

That was my first thought too lol.
such a great game

He looks so proud! ...and squirrly!

That's great.

That rocket looks like a very... Kerbal design. It'll get you up there. No promises about surviving the return.

gorgeous work
The final checks before the big lift off :DDD
I just hope it doesn't end in a nut job XD

Oh, I would totally watch them go, curious what they would achieve.

The clipboard squirrel looks quite well rounded, if one knows what I am attempting to say.

"...Hon, I think the neighborhood squirrels are getting really desperate to get into the bird feeder...

Words fail to express how amazing this image is.

Glory eternal to the mighty squirrel.

This brave little astronaut looks so cute, his bright shiny eyes are so full of aspiration and conviction. I like the design of his trashcan rocket and how his support crew are engaged in a in depth discussion about fixing it.

I like how bright this picture is. It is symoblic as its shows how a kids imagination can lead to the wonderful creations in the future. THIS IS WONDERFUL⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Those must be red squirrels because that looks like a redneck rocket.

I assume you're referring to the American Pine Squirrel, which is the North American Red.

Squirrels can into space!

I think front-load washing machines are not vacuum rated... ;D

A cute thing from iPoke! It's a miracle!

(Next picture, showing the rocket exploding T_T )

Has everyfur used the restroom? There are no trees on the Moon. :)

Looking great guys! Keep it up!
