It’s technically a dwarf star, amusingly enough, considering its 333,000 times the mass of Earth.

I keep reading this post’s title as “The ass is small”.

^^^ I like your title better.

Yeah well I get to sit in an office with no windows all day. My day job is WAY better.

Did you paint that?

Comment by Tony — May 8, 2008 @ 1:06 pm

looks like 1960s concept art

Comment by Darthmalt — May 8, 2008 @ 1:11 pm

Did not paint it. Wish I could paint stuff like that , I found it google-ing.

Is this what steampunk art wil look like in the post-apocalyptic days of the 23rd century?

Comment by JamesTuskGeorge — May 8, 2008 @ 1:58 pm

Looks like the Soviet space shuttle, the Buran. All white, mounted on an Energia booster/tank. Their version of the shuttle lacked main engines, and instead only had orbital maneuvering thrusters. Plus there’s the four strap-on, liquid fuel booster rockets (NASA’s shuttle is solid fuel).

I think the painting is by Donald Fagen. Looks like it at least.

It’s a piece of artwork from the old Department of Defense propaganda annual “Soviet Military Power”. This publication was published during the 80s and intended to help prove the need for the large military budgets at the time, by showing supposed imbalances between NATO and WARPAC Forces. Propaganda aside, they were chock full of very nice artwork, such as this piece.

That’s New Zealand below them. I’m waving frantically.

Comment by banjo_picker — April 27, 2008 @ 7:32 pm

I think tiki should ban anyone who posts some lame-ass conspiracy about not landing on the moon. Moon conspiracy theorists are as bad as Creationists and Scientologists.

On another note…

look how pretty!

Comment by Camiam321 — April 19, 2008 @ 3:40 pm

Saturn V rocket was (is?) the most powerful machine humans have ever created.

If they ever launch anything that big again- I will be there.

“peace keeper nuclear missile”

always makes me laugh at the irony…

Comment by Flammy — April 17, 2008 @ 12:28 pm

Still looks like a giant penis to me.

Comment by Annarchy — April 17, 2008 @ 1:59 pm

Judging from all the parts & panels apparently flying off of it in the photo, it doesn’t look like a particularly sturdy thing.

Comment by MalcoveMagnesia — April 17, 2008 @ 3:48 pm

@MalcoveMagnesia

the way ALL of the panels are coming off perfectly, i’d say they are meant to be falling off…

Comment by Flammy — April 17, 2008 @ 4:55 pm

Although Ironic, Peacekeeper is an apt name for it. How many nuclear wars have their been? Zero. MAD for the win

Comment by njch412 — April 17, 2008 @ 5:18 pm

It’s a type of discarding sabot. Since the missile itself ins’t perfectly round, and would honestly get stuck inside the launch tube if they were fired like a gigantic gun, they put them little pieces all around it to plug up whole, through with gasses would escape. Gun nuts can agree, you need those gasses to help propel the missiles from the tube before the main rocket ignites and sends this bitch off to make the “nuclear ocean.”

Comment by DemolitionsGeek — April 17, 2008 @ 5:21 pm

..”plug up the HOLE, through WHICH the gasses would escape.”

[IN THE PROCESS OF L2PROOFREAD.]

Comment by DemolitionsGeek — April 17, 2008 @ 5:22 pm

“Gun nuts can agree …”

And physicists

Though I always thought they were fired like conventional rockets, in that the main engine causes lift off.

Comment by RichardAtHome — April 17, 2008 @ 6:48 pm

Well, in these types of missiles, you need a sort of pre-rocket to go off before the main rocket does. The main rockets are fuckin’ hueg and would explode the silo tube with it’s sheer forcefuck of a blast. The first rocket it way smaller and gets the rocket out of the launch tube and about 15 feet in the air, at which point the main rocket kicks in, much liek a v-tec. [lol] THEN the rocket goes sailing off to some other continent to asplode tha natives.

Comment by DemolitionsGeek — April 18, 2008 @ 1:28 am

MAD was actually a better smart idea, but it only works if both sides don’t want to die. To bad the Islamist want to (I would probable want to die also if I couldn’t drink a beer, eat some bacon, get an occasional blow job or even just look at a hot chick, fuck that).

Comment by gor — April 18, 2008 @ 6:31 pm

I spent four years of my life maintaining the communications-electronics that empowered these bad boys to be launched. Then we reached an agreement with another “world superpower” to downsize our weapons arsenal and got rid of all of these. So, though this pic is cool - these missiles are no longer in use. We still have the Minuteman III’s hangin out. The difference is that the MM only have the potential to carry 3 warheads - the PK’s could hold up to 10…

Comment by Beef_Hammer — April 19, 2008 @ 11:20 am

so it annihalates not 1 not 2 not 3 but 10 motherfucking cities.dang

@gor im not sure whether ALL islamists want to die and i dont think they could get their hands on nucelear weapons. but you never know STAY SCARED

He looks rather like an Imperial Inquisitor with a Callidus temple assassin behind him.

Comment by neflhim — April 17, 2008 @ 3:42 pm

I was thinking the same thing as neflhim.

Comment by Typhoid_Garry — April 17, 2008 @ 5:25 pm

Why does he look like a cross between Robert E. Lee (ok that one makes sense) and Kurt Russel? o.O

Comment by chaingunner — April 17, 2008 @ 5:51 pm

I think he looks more like Kris Kristofferson.
