Far from the Midwest, deep within a European forest, lies an unassuming pond. It was made in an instant, long ago, by a V2 rocket, chain bomb or cluster bomb.
Nature reclaimed it and made it her own. Now, it is a place of peace and beauty.
How many of these types of ponds exist?
How many more of these ponds are being made in Europe every day; again?

German rocket scientists test launch another V2 rocket - date and location unknown. The missile, powered by a liquid propellant rocket engine was developed during ww2 in Germany as a vengeance weapon. The V-2 rocket also became the first artificial object to travel into space by crossing the Karman Line (edge of space) on 20th June 1944

So I’m watching guardians of the galaxy 3 finally and Quills in character trauma dumping working as an exposition dump for the audience is so silly to me
Also someone comment on this around Christmas time so I can remember to get my dad a Groot funko pop and plushy and something to stand in his car.

The first photo from space, and the first time the curvature of the earth had been seen, 24.10.1946. It was taken by a Devry 35mm movie camera attached to a German World War 2 A4/V2 rocket at an altitude of 104km/65 miles. The V2 was launched from the US Army White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. It was one of the large number of V2s that were brought to the US under Operation Paperclip. For more, see my Facebook group - Eagles Of The Reich

looking @ old fic i started when i was 14/15 is so funny bc im realizing once again why i never mark fics as abandoned even if its been literal years since i've touched them. specifically i was checking docs for stuff i started and either did or didn't post to ffn.
and its like. nothing is bad??? like i can see where my outside-the-box ideal of fic writing comes from. not just fics but writing in general, i'm p sure. even if it's a total cliche plot setup, there are details on each that rly make it stand out like oh yeahhhhhh i did have this great idea once upon a time.
funny too bc was it executed well in prose??? no absolutely not i wrote like shit when i was 15. would i revive an idea one day and revise it to be less cliche or cringy while still keeping the stand-out elements??? yea maybe. i might. everything i'm currently working on that i started from 2021 up to now still holds my supreme interest, but like i'm not gonna say never.
esp since i write fic first and foremost for my own need and specifically what i like to read, it makes it impossible to consider an idea i've thought extensively about "not worth writing anymore". anyway not making this too long i jus found everything interesting to consider

-minor war before hcq-
Jingliu: ...there's not much we can do at this point.
Baiheng, confidently: yingxing, what do you have?
teen!yingxing: V2 ROCKET LAUNCHER!!
Baiheng:
Baiheng +Jingliu: NO!!
Dan feng: ...where did you even pick this kid up??
_____
But alas, it was too late. The rocket had already been launched. And teen!yingxing had to spend 2 weeks under the care of dan feng, for the force had been too strong for yingxing to stand.

I’m not sure if someone’s already pointed this out before, but …
This was the VERY first thing I thought about the moment I saw Rocket’s clothes in vol 3.
I might reblog if I come up with anything else on this comparison but someone tell me I’m not insane rn
