Greetings in 55 languages and, also, Whale greetings.
On second thought, not sure what they were thinking exactly with the Whale greetings, somewhere in there something sounds like someone is choking on a peanut. How are we sure it is not Dolphins or Mice running Earth?

Rogue One: Recon – A Star Wars 360 Experience
.
.
.
.
Rogue One: Recon is a short immersive 360 experience created by ILMxLAB that is connected to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”
.
Rogue One: Recon, developed by ILMxLAB, is a 360-degree video from the perspective of an X-Wing scout that just happens to come across the infamous Death Star along with another pilot. The two make a jump into dangerous territory and attempt to warn the rebels about what they find. The Rogue One film’s plot gets moving when the Rebels intercept a coded imperial message about a weapons test that ends up being the Death Star, so it seems the two scouts from Recon failed to make contact.

Recently someone asked me for an obj of a Star Wars ship I shared – well, I decided to put together a free obj pack of a bunch of my favorite ships and vehicles.

Long time ago in a Galaxy far far away I fell in love with Star Wars and have been ever since. Best wishes for very merry and loving adventures. Happy New Year 2017.

This image shows a close-up of track marks left by NASA’s Curiosity rover. Holes in the rover’s wheels, seen here in this view, leave imprints in the tracks that can be used to help the rover drive more accurately. The imprint is in fact Morse code for JPL, which is short for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., where the rover was built and the mission is managed.
Curiosity’s “visual odometry” software measures terrain features — such as rocks, rock shadows and patterns in the rover tracks — to determine the precise distance between drive steps. Knowing how far it has traveled is important for measuring any wheel slippage that may have occurred, for instance due to high slopes or sandy ground. Fine-grained terrains generally lack interesting features, so Curiosity can make its own features using its wheel tracks.
The Morse code, imprinted on all six wheels, is: .— (J), .–. (P), and .-.. (L).

in other words we haven’t yet filled our houses with everything we can carry we want air drops.

speaking of shopping and Mars – here’s something:
.
and Starships of the mind too.
.
…Love spaceships and still spend a lot of time thinking of ships, 3d modeling them, very partial about the Mars rovers. Still think Rama would be a great movie and one of the adventures that kept me on the edge of my seat every time I re-read the books. The creative space starships occupy is a strange one, lots of creative people have taken on spaceships themes, like Asimov, George, Kubrick, Clarke, on the other hand also out there real scientists who build nasa rovers.
.
It seems it is It is bizarre I spent most of my life being terrified of flying. Actually there was a space of about three years when i could not get on a plane and a wing tip would throw me into a tailspin but we don’t wanna talk about this do we.
.
The Heart of Gold is still my favorite.
.
There was a strange tree in a hard science fiction novel where the tree had to be stoked with fires to fly through a universe very dense and with strange gravity. The novel was called Raft. Once i made a pen and ink drawing about it i think.
.
.
.
.
Rama dominating my imagination for the longest time. Also the Raman Node from the later Rama books, the later books were filled with incredible ships of various sizes and purpose taking deep voyages and carrying many species to unknown destinations. It blows my mind until this day when i need to be shopping.
.
.
.
The moment where Rama meets the Node and many exciting things happen and we meet Raman intelligence. It too blows my mind.
“..The Rama spacecraft rendezvous with another Node, an enormous tetrahedron near the star Tau Ceti, designed to research any intelligent life capable of spaceflight. ..”
.

With Star Destroyers coming close second for intimidation factor and making us prickly with anticipation when entering the big screen and gliding over our heads.

Rama from Rendezvous with Rama would have been a good addition ( 50-kilometre /31 mile cylindrical alien starship ). Also one of my favorite ships ever. Wish Ridley would have undertaken Rendezvous with Rama and the Rama franchise.
