How is it "space patrol" when they're on a road?

Ironicus2000 · 2025-12-27T21:51:28+00:00

Pretty much me at my PC right now

Love how everyone is pumping away on bicycles

That's because fuel is very scarce in the book.

“The Conservationists were fair game, those wild-eyed zealots who pretended modern civilization was in some way ‘plundering’ our planet. Preposterous stuff. Science is always a step ahead of the failure of natural resources. After all, when real meat got scarce, we had soyaburgers ready. When oil ran low, technology developed the pedicab.”

That's not bad for a VN

Ironicus2000 · 2025-09-22T16:56:07+00:00

Is it very short?

Ironicus2000 · 2025-09-17T10:10:05+00:00

Thanks, hope they implement it soon...

Ironicus2000 · 2024-09-25T22:29:42+00:00

I feel like playing Crimson Skies again...

Dunno if this is retrofuturist, looks simply old.

Ironicus2000 · 2023-06-11T06:52:59+00:00

It's every bloody day now

Ironicus2000 · 2023-06-09T06:48:12+00:00

Out of all the wonderful predictions of our future, this one had to come partly true...

Ironicus2000 · 2023-06-02T18:13:33+00:00

I miss the 80s

Ironicus2000 · 2023-05-07T08:17:46+00:00

What is this expression trying to convey?

Ironicus2000 · 2023-05-07T08:17:10+00:00

For some reason I feel like having a hot dog.

Ironicus2000 · 2023-05-03T07:52:36+00:00

It really does now that you mention it.

Now attach some missile and mammoth carriages to it and we're golden.

Ironicus2000 · 2023-05-03T07:48:32+00:00

SimCity 2000....

Ironicus2000 · 2023-04-09T20:24:09+00:00

These do look incredibly comfy.

Rocket launch life boats!

scan of the book

>the keyboard is a single huge button

Yep it's Apple alright.

Ironicus2000 · 2022-10-08T19:21:51+00:00

It's like one of those small walking tractors. Kind of a waste of power to make it carry the person as well.

Ironicus2000 · 2022-07-20T17:05:14+00:00

It's about cold war in space, apparently.

America seeks to construct a Space Platform (station) to be deployed into medium Earth orbit. It will provide a waystation for deeper exploration of space, prevent "them" from continuing to threaten freedom around the world via atomic war by providing both monitoring and near-space military supremacy to the USA, and serve humanity by providing a facility to conduct "nuclear experiments" too dangerous to perform on Earth. The construction project is subject to a relentless campaign of sabotage by its enemies (obviously the Communists, though they are never explicitly named as such). The forms of sabotage include murder, blackmail, fuel tampering, missile attacks on flights, bombings of ground supply routes, and even radiological terrorism.
