Interstellar Steam Punked

by Kelvin F. Long

Well, I never thought I would get Steampunked, a gift from Icarus Interstellar President Richard Obousy who had the entire Board of Directors done recently. If you don’t know what steam punk is, here is a description: —————————————— Steampunk Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.[1] Steampunk involves a setting where steam power is still widely used—usually Victorian era Britain or “Wild West”-era United States—that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or the contemporary authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeld and China Mieville. —————————————— Thanks Richard, sweet revenge is on its way. The other Board of Directors may or may not share their images, but they are awesome. Kelvin Long Vice President (Europe) Icarus Interstellar [artwork by JR Flemming]

    Hello there! My name is Susanne and I just wanted to say your blogging
    site is awesome! It’s amusing because I use to have a web site that virtually had an identical website url: http://www.icarusinterstellar.org/interstellar-steam-unked/?lang=de mine was only a few characters different.
