#refueling
Pumping gas….
…..way out to sea….
…..on the far side of the planet from home….
EAST CHINA SEA (November 7, 2020) – Cryptologic Technician (Technical)Seaman Jacob Fischer, USN, (top)andFire Controlman3rd Class Kyle Soriano, USN, heave a line aboard United States Navy guided-missile cruiser USSShiloh (CG 67) during a replenishment-at-sea (UNREP)withMilitary Sealift Command dry cargo and ammunition ship USNSCharles Drew (T-AKE 10).
A complex evolution like a refueling/resupplying at sea requires an almost all-hands effort beyond just the deck crew. From necessary raw manpower, to stowing supplies below decks, to safety protocols….it takes a huge team effort.

Fictional space vehicle
Sword of the Orion spacecraft visiting a small scientific and refueling outpost on Ophelia, one of the tiny moons of Uranus. With negligible surface gravity and abundance of water ice, this moon is a perfect place to produce valuable fuel for visiting spaceships, as well as conduct scientific observations of Uranus and search for Kuiper Beltobjects.
As always, prints of this and other artworks are available in my society6.com and deviantART.com shops.
