Voyage of Discovery

A retro rocket taking of for the cosmos. Art work on the covers of Brian Aldiss's Starship.

"Somewhere in the fabled region called 'Forwards'1 lay the answers to a 400-year-old secret. Who were they? Where did they come from? Where were they going?

But Forwards was far away through lands of unimaginable horror. And the answers they sought were the jealously gaurded secret of the mysterious 'Unknowns' - a secret so hideous that even those superiors beings dared not reveal it ..."

Starship, Brian Aldiss, Signet Books, 1963. Was originally copyrighted in 1958, by Brian Aldiss.



1 "'Forwards' are a more advanced, intelligent, and technologically capable tribe of humans residing within a massive spaceship."

Garage Built Retro Robot

I built this robot in my garage and on weekends. I am still having some troubles with control issues and will have hands in its circuitry untill I get it all worked out.

He is built mostly from polystyrene and is my first attempt at building a robot. I learned a few new skills and I got some practice. I will do somethings differently on a second attempt.

He stands 17 scale feet tall.
