so i started designing spacecraft personifications with a historical twist
(galileo, wmap and jwst respectively)
mainly because i am a historical fashion bitch and mainly because the duchy of nasa is a hilarious concept
lowdown for each of them:
- galileo: retired mathematician from court of nasa, does hunting in his free time
- wmap: former miniature painter/metalworker, moved on to doing portraiture and shooting the shit with other older people
- jwst: currently employed at the court of nasa as painter for an ungodly sum of money
having ideas for new horizons being a mystic nun who sees new planets in her visions and observes the stars from her cell but haven’t designed that yet
just wanted to draw sum Tens!
ten on the left designed by @robinjiaying ! check em out!

i've been doing an astronomy internship this summer, and we recently talked about the space telescopes! wanted to personify some of them hehe.
James Webb (they/them): Their shiny poncho thing is inspired by the solar shield. They have a rivalry with Hubble, believing him to be obsolete. However, they secretly are worried they won't be able to live up to his legacy.
Hubble (he/him): His glasses represent the COSTAR instrument that was installed on Hubble to correct it's blurry images. He finds James Webb's attempt at a rivalry amusing, and just wants to become friends with the younger fella and help them out.
Nancy Grace Roman (she/her): A telescope not yet launched, she's an old NRO telescope, and is having trouble adjusting from a life of espionage to one of science.
Number of spacecraft I have drawn doing the blehhh... pose: 2
Sorta a collaboration wit @helljunker lolllll
A scheming pirate lackey from the retrofuture!
I’m thinking about how Hubble and JWST technically live-streamed DART’s death 💀 I am imagining them voicing over the footage like “YOOO BRO GOT REKTD GG” 💥💥💥
Call me Robin! I draw robots and stuff! A spacecraft fandom blog for the most part. 📍Shanghai, boring person extraordinaire, 中文/English, he/she. https://linktr.ee/RobinW
