All that glitters

I have some more pretty space stuff.

IRS-4, a proto-star about half the age of the human race, the blue things are huge clouds of hydrogen gas which have yet to coalesce into a sphere.

It looks like two people kissing. It is really cool. Thanks for posting.

I'm curious, why do you save this stuff? If you had the million (billion?) bucks, would you go with Elon Musk in to space?

Nah, there's not much to do in space right now. I'd just float around till the oxygen ran out.

Plus if Elon Musk's previous history of big ideas is anything to go by, he'd probably bin the spaceship idea and use the million/billion dollars to con another ten thousand investors out of their money.
This new "I'm gonna go to Mars" thing is a total farce for publicity and investment boosts. He's got a history of pushing humongous new projects that he's going to 'change the world' with which never come to fruition and in the case of the Hyperloop, is literally unfeasible. He ropes in investors swayed by big promises and then diverts the money to his battery factory enterprises.

With the Hyperloop thing, it's not "we don't have the technology" unfeasible, it's "A famous inventor (in this case the inventor of modern rocketry) came up with the idea a century ago and it never got off the drawing board because the laws of physics stand in the way of it functioning safely" unfeasible.

What's going to happen in a few months is we'll see a big fancy rocket test that is claimed to be a test prototype for the rocket that people will go to Mars on, that'll end fantastically and get him a few more million dollars, and then we won't hear a thing about it for the next 5 years until his HQ states that the project was binned for budget or practicality reasons.
