Back on the horse. Here's a chapter insert featuring Talita explaining the ground-to-orbit technology on Dirtball. Next page is something that wasn't in the roughs I've uploaded.

...Are you an actual aerospace engineer?

C.G. William

She is a little too happy, but very correct about aerospace.

Addie

Gotta say as a fellow aerospace engineer, I fucking love these details in this comic. Makes my engineer brain go brrrrrrrr in excitement

Erika Spooner

How big was the actual mining operation if they were collecting TRILLIONS of tons in resources? Did the mining company effectively control the entire planet? Also why don't sophonts other than bug ferrets create their own AI that functions at the level of sophonts? Does that apply to other technologies?

My boyfriends a Mechanical Engineer who's doing a PHD right now, and although he doesn't read your comics I always share your engineering stuff with him because he thinks it's really cool!

Icarus

I'm on the train right now imagining BART but very large, very fast, and 80km off the ground. Idrisah is right. Also I'm dying to know what the launch loop sounds like when it's idle (what frequencies the support stands hum at, whether it's audible from the personnel maglev) and when it's in use (does it bounce a little with incoming/outgoing payloads or is that too much of a waste of kinetic energy, what does the RCS sound like, are there any fun alarms or other safety features that make noise with an approaching payload or skyhook, can you tell i'm an astrophysicist who's obsessed with your style of worldbuilding & recommends this book to everyone i know, etc) anyway thanks jay great page i'm going to print it out and eat it

Talita gleefully remarking that everything in aerospace is scary while “blushing” is just like me talking about deep sea life

Lindsey Moore

What are the rotor belts? I don't understand them, I don't know much about engineering

i love talitas happy lil trunk curl and blushy feathers as she infodumps abt her worksite :) and the way her trunk is pointed outward in the last picture instead of curled in toward her chin! Im guessing shes so excited abt how the rail works that she forgets to be self conscious :)
