I need to do a couple traditional ships, but when researching designs I ran into bio-ships and got carried away by the idea! I've never worked on spaceships or outspace, I just love the idea of symbiotic relationship between humans and their vehicles.
@creatr, being a nerd in school was awful...lolol, no one wants to date a nerd😉 I read Heinlein later in my life, in my 20s, his ideas were too complex for a child and weren't allowed in my primary school library. If I'd gotten ahold of Heinlein's books as a teenager I would of run away from home and joined a commune! Heinlein shaped my paranoia at a very young age about authority and the State. Also how the 2 unit family structure is limiting and a construct fashioned by State Authority to control the masses.
I'm surprised the primary librarian didn't at least have some of Heinlein's juveniles on the shelf - for instance, The Star Beast... But maybe he/she was smart and paranoid and knew what that might lead to...
Yeah, I do recall the difficulty of being nerdy in school... Actually, I recall the difficulty of school in its entirety. My parents weren't enlightened enough to let me keep out of school. <sigh>
Thanks for interacting about Sci-Fi. And, more spaceships, please... ;)

I don't know if you like Sci-Fi, but I must share this amazing short story by fellow Steemian @baerdric:
I think if you read it, you'll find it inspiring for your art... ;)
I've been reading Asimov since I was ten years old....I am a nerd🤓 Checking your link out now!
Sweet! How about Heinlein?
Nerd is a good thing... ;)
