Worlds of IF (April 1954)
The artist definitely thought this through in that they put the antennae poking out of the top of the space-snowglobe, for better reception.
I really like these space cities and I'm curious about how they work under the "ground" so to speak.

Of Course the killers of Horst Wessel were Communists - not just dissatisfied customers.
When you need a martyr, any pimp will do.
More to this shooting than meets the eye.
There's two far Right groups that are clashing behind the scenes. One is Charlie Kirks white Christian supremacist "TurningPointUSA" and the other was Nick Fuentes's incel nazi cult.
Apparently the shooters dad was a white Christian guntoting racist MAGA homophobe misogynist who said his son had become "radicalised" over the recent past. Didn't say how. Seems it wasn't by Dems, but possibly through Fuentes pods/online hate.
Trump won't reveal that tho.
GOP v GOP hate wars don't look good for him.
He's pushing that it was extreme marxist leftist radicals high on apple pie.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist • • •The image depicts a futuristic scene with two astronauts in orange suits walking on a reddish-orange ground, likely a Martian surface. In the foreground, a large, armored vehicle with a white and blue color scheme is visible, equipped with antennas and a mounted weapon. The background features tall, futuristic buildings with a hazy atmosphere, suggesting a post-apocalyptic or alien environment. The astronauts are wearing helmets with visors, and the one in the foreground has a visible "IC" insignia on their chest. The scene is bathed in a soft, diffused light, enhancing the otherworldly ambiance.
