Throw bak Thursday: Ion Drive (Australia)
Ion Drive formed in Melbourne in 1982 and quickly became part of Australia’s early heavy metal movement. Their first releases, Witches (demo) and Friday the 13th (EP), both appeared in 1984 and captured the raw energy of the band’s formative years. After a brief split, members regrouped under the name Angelica in 1987, continuing to perform Ion Drive material before reverting to the original name in 1988. The band remained active into the mid-1990s and returned in 2009 with new members and renewed focus, releasing the Witch Hunt EP in 2017.
Ion Drive’s current status is uncertain. Their last public post appeared in 2023, and there have been no confirmed updates since. Notable members over the years include Jennifer Thumwood, Dave King, Joe Cordina, and founding drummer Mick Burns (rip), whose early contributions helped shape the band’s sound. Operating independently and unsigned, Ion Drive’s legacy remains rooted in Melbourne’s heavy metal underground.

When we go to the stars we'll be propelling our craft with far more advanced methods, I'm sure, but you just can't match the science-fictional aura of the circular ion drives. In that vein, my "Ignition, full thrust".

*looks at ion drive and the new galaxy viewed through the interspatial looking glass*
"What is it?"
"It's uh...it's uh...it's green!"
My new artwork "Ignition, full thrust in bluish green".#art #MastoArt #digitalart #digitalpainting #painting #spaceart #scifi #sciencefiction #starship #stars #nebula #iondrive #spaceship

A rich green galaxy, nebula, or whatever it is that starship is making for. My new piece "Ignition, full thrust in green".

I kinda like the color on this version. My piece "Ignition, full thrust in gold".

Flaming orange, though the exhaust might look a bit greenish, I kinda like how this one came out. My new piece "Ignition, full thrust in orange".

A burst of happiness for your day I think: my science-fictional piece "Ignition, full thrust in purple".

Want to escape your own humdrum region of space? Hop on to the ion express, and settle into your seats as the engines light up, and transport you to a new wonderscape of trackless stars hidden within that deep blue nebula.

This is a cool idea I've had for a while: a circular spaceship with a glowing stardrive on the back, going "Ignition, full thrust" as it heads toward a beautiful nebula.

#StarTrek - '#TheEleosTrials' - A #FanFilm
"The #USSEleos, a #Mythos class light #Destroyer, saw service in 2220 as part of the Future Advance #Sublight Technology for the 2220s (#FAST22) project. This project aimed to fully integrate #ImpulseDrives into the command hull and enable #Starfleet to retire pontoon designs alongside legacy #Fusion and #IonDrives."
