Splashdown. A Gemini capsule awaits pickup. 10 crewed flights flew in low Earth orbit during Project Gemini in 1965-66. Midway through Gemini, the Americans caught up & surpassed the Soviets, who had previously been ahead during the space race in the Project Mercury & early Gemini era. The 1st crewed flight was Gemini 3 with Gus Grissom & John Young in Mar 1965. The final was Gemini 12 in Nov 1966 with Buzz Aldrin & Jim Lovell.

The Fairy of Eagle Nebula
Image Credit: NASA, ESA, The Hubble Heritage Team, (STScI/AURA)
Explanation: The dust sculptures of the Eagle Nebula are evaporating. As powerful starlight whittles away these cool cosmic mountains, the statuesque pillars that remain might be imagined as mythical beasts. Featured here is one of several striking dust pillars of the Eagle Nebula that might be described as a gigantic alien fairy. This fairy, however, is ten light years tall and spews radiation much hotter than common fire. The greater Eagle Nebula, M16, is actually a giant evaporating shell of gas and dust inside of which is a growing cavity filled with a spectacular stellar nursery currently forming an open cluster of stars. This great pillar, which is about 7,000 light years away, will likely evaporate away in about 100,000 years. The featured image in scientifically re-assigned colors was released in 2005 as part of the fifteenth anniversary celebration of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope.

this is the taxidermied warhorse of the swedish 17th century King Gustav II Adolf. it was a very expansive horse, because at the time this was basically one of the largest horse breeds Gustav II Adolf could get his hands on.
the musuem that has the horse, notes that horses of the rest of the swedish army were much smaller. this horse was bought to tower above all the other horses in the army.
how big is this horse then?
146 cm height at the wither
(swedish=mankhöjd). the musum points out that the horse must have been slightly larger in life, because the taxidermy shows that the wooden frame it has been constructed around is smaller than the amount of skin. the theory of why it is so, is that perhaps the one making the wooden frame, based the measurment on the average warhose used in sweden at the time, and therefore the frame became slightly ill - fitting. however, it was not that much larger than the height it has been preserved at.
so anyway, this is one preserved one thousand riksdaler horse! so small. so chubby. slightly taller than 146 cm in height! but not so much taller!
(a normal horse used in war cost about 80 rikdsdaler. this was a very expansive horse)
several hundred of years later, but here you can see the swedish cavalery of the 19th century on their chubby horses. just as an idea, of the tiny horses they rode around on.
The Swedish History Musuem says about horses during the medieval age that:
Hästarna var under medeltiden relativt små och robusta. Mankhöjden var omkring 130-135 cm.
translation: the horses used in sweden during the nordic medieval age was, compared to modern horses, small and robust. they were about 130-135 cm tall.

sexy nude man with a fiddle
a nice horse
and
A COPPER BOWL (underwater, that is tempting you to go out on too deep water)
one of these things are not like the others
can’t resist a nice copper bowl. no one stop the thirst for kitchen wares of good and shiny quality.
indeed, some peasants are into a sexy being, some are lured to ride a beautiful horse
and some just really want some new kitchen ware. honestly, bad kitchen ware is so annoying! this peasant want some of that fresh updated kitchen ware!
what kind of deal would i have to make with the nacken to get a new refrigerator? like, would it cost my entire soul or is there some kind of lay-away deal or what?
he is not that interested in your soul at all, i think anyway, if i am not misremebering.
it would cost your freedom though. like in your living life, he will chain to him.
or possible, he will like leave you with like 5 smoll näcken+human hybrids, and be like: you are going to raise these now! bye now!
basically näcken is like. a fuck boy.
who is also really into drowning humans. so he might do that too. always that risk he just plainly murder your. unclear why exactly but it is like. his duty. näcken deals with that drowning….
hmmm other side effects are his tendency to disappear the moment you invite other people.
yeah in general. living with a fuck boy is the prize of näcken relationship. a fuck boy who thinks he is a artistic genius, and who is “such a genius” that nooo he can’t do the dishes
and who also have human murder as a hobby. there is that. which in general put a damper on any näcken relationship (one would think!) but somehow no, people still be thirsty for näcken???
it is one of earth big mysteriys tbh.
tldr. do not rec to get a new refrigator via näcken. will end badly.
bummer. i def don’t want kids or to die. those are dealbreakers for sure.
Yeah I agree with you there. Näcken is a bit of a let down in many ways.
Would suggest getting togheter with skogsrå instead. Skogsrå are also very much after human blood sure, BUT they are hot forest spirit ladies who happen to have hollow backs attraktive! or sometlmes a fox tale.
But I bonus with them, is that they are much more likely to be kind.
Also they seem to to target people who are lost in their forest in particular. I think perhaps, if one is with the skogsrå, but NEVER are in the forest with her, perhaps one will be safe from their murder hobby?
Sadly many of ones friends would be lost in the forest forever i guess. But you know hot forest lady, might be worth it!
hot forest ladies sound great! but i really do need a new refrigerator. although, i guess if i moved to my hot forest lady’s forest in Scandinavia, that would become a moot point….
It would, at least during winter! Summer though….. Well I am sure skogsrå, you hot forest gf, can help you with fresh food in summer!
One time a man was judged for having made a deal for good fishing luck with the skogsrå (or actually the sea version sjörå). Anyway i am sure they can still give you this deals!
