An aerospace hardware startup has found a "comically perfect" testing facility at Alameda Point. Longshot is building a sort of gun that they hope will be capable of launching a satellite into space—yes, really. https://alamedapost.com/news/alamedas-longshot-space-aims-launch-satellites-into-space-from-gun/

One of the more unheralded Art Adams X-Men cover. Simple, but effective.

Just watched Long Shot on. BBC #iPlayer.

A superb, very well written, acted, paced, balanced and very laugh out loud funny film.

Can you spot #AndySerkis I didn't, nor #CharlizeTheron I'm ashamed to admit. But my excuse is that they are excellent actors.

052 - Longshot

Like the construction of this one, the sense of movement & narrative created by leaping over the Mojo statute.
