  6. A quotation from Wells

  7. #Heute in der #raumfahrtgeschichte : Reinhold #Ewald war ein deutscher #Kosmonaut und #Astronaut. Während seines Flugs auf der russischen #Raumstation #Mir brach am 23./24.2. 1997 dort ein Feuer aus. Eins Sauerstoffpatrone war in Brand geraten, das kann selbst in der #Schwerelosigkeit geschehen. Ewald war stundenlang mit Löschen beschäftigt, in Gasmaske.
    Am Ende ging es für die Besatzung gut aus, muss aber ein aufreibender Tag gewesen sein.
    Ewald lehrt heute #Raumfahrttechnik in #Stuttgart.

    New animation version with new water simulation. The last one was noise based and that lead to the gelatinous look. That was funny and fit to an alien world, but I wanted a "watery" look. So this one uses XParticles xpOcean. (see the first anim version on instagram:
