My new and improved sketch for my starship.
Given everything i've learned, i've decided to redo the design a bit. I'm rather content with this new iteration.
Hussam put together 400 packages for the families at the Khan Younis camp he's located in. These packages contain 5 bottles of fresh water, each 5 liters and 9 packages pads, which will help about 400 families!
He also put together 150 packages of clothing containing abaya, underwear, clothes for women praying that covers whole body, blouses, hijabs, and pants.
The past few weeks, I haven't been able to upload as much but Hussam has seriously been hard at work! He purchased a fresh water truck of 4000 liter for the entire camp, which is greatly needed in this extreme heat. They also use water pumps for salty water but they require diesel to operate. Diesel is very scarce and costs about 42 dollars a liter!
Not only this, but Hussam put together an event for the children at the camp! He didn't have the chance to take pictures, but the kids really enjoyed it!
Please keep donating to HelpGazaChildren! This grassroots effort is helping so many people in Gaza when the world has abandoned them!
Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam with NO middleman in between! He also sends money to the North!

A sketch of the star system where my story takes place.
I tried to keep it as realistic as possible.
Is did however take some artistic librities to make the story blend better with the world.
Story:
'Proxima Centauri d' has not been colonised.
'Proxima Centauri b' has been colonised and renamed to 'Beacon'. It has a slightly higher gravity than earth and is gravitionaly locked by one side to the star. Regulary blasted by radiation. This was humanitys first interstellar colony. And their eventual refugue after the Exodus.
The astroid belt contains dozens of stations for construction, Ming, transport and more.
'Proxima Centauri c' is a mini Neptune with a ring. Because of it's large size, it's useful for antimatter production. In orbit around it is a spaceport for interstellar travel.
inconsistencies:
Since we can't detect things so small as astroid that means that we don't know it there is a astroid belt in the Proxima Centauri system. But i decided to add one anyway.
It is disputed if the planet 'proxima Centauri c' even exist and where it is. It is also theorized to have a ring. I decided to add it too.
Please notify me if you've Found any other inconsistentcies.
A guestion about realistic interstellar travel
Sorry about my English it's not my first language.
I'm not sure how i should tag this but here we go.
I'm working on my own little hard scifi project and i need some help with figuring out the science.
So i have a ship that travels the distance of 10.26 lightyears at 80% the speed of light.
I think it would take about 12 years to complete this journey. (For a outside observer)
And off course the ship would also need to first accelerate and deaccelerate from that Velocity. That would take about 7 months each. (Constant acceleration of 1.5G during those months)
So in Total these 12 years plus the 1.4 years makes the journey 13.4 years long. But this is only to An outside observer.
I al aware of the effect of time dilation and i also want it to have a prominent role in my story. So my guestion is how much time Will the crew onboard the ship have subjectivly experienced?
Is some of the math i did right? Am i missing something? And does Antoine know how to explain the solution of this in laymans terms becaude i've tried looking it up and i still don't really understand it.
Thanks

My family and I have faced unimaginable challenges due to the ongoing conflict in our homeland.
My father, Samir Siam❤🌹, and I have become without a source of income, and we cannot even afford to buy a morsel of food. I used to work at a petrol station to support my family, but the current circumstances have made it impossible to continue. Despite everything, I am determined to complete my studies and pursue a career in programming, but my family’s urgent needs have become a heavy burden.
My family’s priority now is my mother's health♥🌹🙏🏻.We urgently need assistance to provide her with proper medical treatment, along with basic necessities like food, water, and shelter. My dream is not only to secure my future through education but also to ensure my family can survive these difficult times.

Some designs for a spacecraft in a story I'm working on.
I'm no concept artist, but here are some basic sketches.
I've tried to make them as realistic as possible.
Any advice is appreciated!
this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don’t have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.
it really hurts me to see so many gazans asking us for help, though that's through no fault of their own. they've been forced to use a social media site that they're probably not familiar with (because tumblr has kind of faded out of popular consciousness), to interact with us in a second language, to distinguish themselves from the scammers who are taking advantage of genocide, and to ask strangers for help. i don't think there are any cultures where it's easy to ask for help like this, but i'm intimately familiar with how humiliating it can be in arab culture. please be kind, gracious and helpful to the gazans in your inbox. this is a desperate time for them, and in addition to the physical danger inflicted by "israel", the prices of basic resources in gaza are extremely high due to scarcity, and those that manage to escape to egypt are financially exploited by landlords there and have an extremely difficult time finding work due to their unofficial status as refugees. these families will continue to need our help and i hope we can all continue to provide it to the best of our ability.
