it may not seem like much, but those little bursts of light are actually the thrusters on the Integrity of the Artemis II mission on its first Return Trajectory Correction burn to head back home.

What is a Return Trajectory Correction Burn? From my understanding - rocket flame go brr this way, rocket go that way.

but in reality it’s so freaking crazy how much math goes into it cos wdym yall precisely calculated exactly how much and how quickly you need to burn your thrusters for (a 9.41 second burn) to be perfectly aligned for a (5.37 foot per second) velocity change ???? within the vacuum of space ???? THE SPACE GEEKS ARE SO SMART

"I haven't slept in four days." {any ship/character} <3

"I haven't slept in four days," TK grumbles, throwing himself on top of Carlos on the sofa and shoving his face into his chest, "and when I have, it's been for about twenty minutes, if I'm lucky."

Carlos holds him close, kissing his hair, still damp from his shower, and smelling of Carlos, because of course it does- despite all the time TK spends at Carlos' house, he always conveniently forgets to bring his own shampoo, which Carlos is fairly certain is intentional.

"Why didn't you sleep on the way home, baby?" Carlos asks, as quiet and soothing as possible; if TK can fall asleep while Carlos is talking to him right now, that's a win in his book.

And fall asleep he does- he doesn't make a single sound to answer Carlos' question, and he can feel how even his warm breath is through the fabric of his shirt.

"Oh, you're adorable," he murmurs as he hugs TK closer, trying to make sure his boyfriend won't wake up with a stiff neck. "... I love you," he adds, even softer than before.

Send me an ask with the first sentence of a fanfic and I’ll write the next five!

I’ve been quietly planning to leave my hometown for 7 months now and it’s time to start telling everyone (except the chosen 3 friends who have been included in the planning due to their pure souls) — and can anyone explain why I’m absolutely stoked to piss people off with my decision to move forward with my life?
