yay, another page! :D

But only one. I hope to get at least two done on Sunday. I need to crank some comics out!

8 down, 16 plus cover to go.

you need to get 5 done today, not 2!

Warning, Zipline motors overheating! Zipline motors need to be....... about 20% cooler

At first I was like -

And then I was like - "DAMNIT...."

Awesome, been enjoying the comic. Hope to catch yer next fun with a flyer posting though.:D

I'm more concerned about the rusting in space than I am the dirt.

I think rust is only an issue when they are in an atmosphere that is oxygen based. Rare, but the ship is atmosphere capable.

Actually rust from the inside can be an issue as poor ventilation and air flow can lead to localised condensation and moisture pooling/retention and the ship rusts from the inside out. Most likely to occur around structural ribs, less used/unused/store room corners and low traffic tubes/conduit areas or behind insulation materials. (yes we study this and actually still can't totally prevent some of the most basic issues like this)

looks good!!

don't make me come over there and crack the whip on ya!

Is this how baby spaceships are made?

First you have to find the docking port. Now only one tether will make it in, while others may bounce off the harder outer shell of the harmlessly. Once you gain access, representatives of your own ship will be transferred over to-

Um.... yeah.

You do a great job on giving them a weathered look. Scratches and dents would be pretty commonplace as space is full of little bits of dust and rock, and when you get even dust going a couple thousand miles per hour it'll leave some scratches. Rust would require an atmosphere but not necessarily oxygen. Though the most common type is red rust which is caused by oxygen with the aid of water, iron can rust in the presence of pure chlorine into green rust, though for both reactions a liquid medium must be present.

Corrosion can happen any time you get dissimilar materials together with electrolysis. Ideally they would design ships with this in mind, but even our planet's US Navy has issues with this now.

So the last panel is them all listening to their ipods?

I have a theory that ships in deep space will corrode in ways similar to ships at sea. There is no oxygen or salt there, but there are all kinds of radiations and particles that have to interact with the hull in some way. Space is not really a vacuum, there is dust and micro meteorites. Even if these particles are very spaced from each other, when you are moving thought them at several miles per second, there has to be constant erosion.
