Another Wicked Cool Wingnut!

Ultra die hard Wing Commander fan Zibbi has expressed his dedication to the series with a giant Wing Commander tattoo. He now has "kaga" - Kilrathi for "warrior spirit" - written in large letters down his side torso. Don't worry if your first thought was that the characters might be backwards, the photo is just in a mirror! Kilrathi writing takes many forms from the lines that first appear in the Dralthi II cockpit in The Secret Missions 2 to the text captions in the Wing Commander Movie. This particular alphabet was developed at Origin for use in things like Prophecy's Tome of Sivar introduction. It was later rediscovered and popularized in a Wing Commander Standoff easter egg. Congrats Zibbi!

Hey guys, I did it :) It needs some overwork but I'm really really happy about this tattoo :)
The first "A" letter got kinda "long" maybe because I twitched like hell :D It was super painful. But yeah, I did it and I love it :)

Saluting Space Pioneers

Our condolences go out to the Virgin Galactic and Scaled Composite SpaceShipTwo teams this weekend. It's been a rough week for commercial spaceflight, but two incidents in a week are just unlucky coincidence. There are many groups pushing the boundaries of civilian space travel around the world, and they continue to do amazing things. Other accidents will happen, but that's what it takes to reach new frontiers.
