Sputnik & Shizik
Hey Shizik, imagine if we could paint a mural on a satellite—like turning the ISS into a living canvas that orbits Earth. What colors would you use to capture the night sky, and which spray can brand would survive zero gravity?
The night sky is a blur of deep navy, almost black, with specks of white and pale blue where the stars wink. You gotta hit that midnight base first, then streaks of electric blue for the aurora feel, and maybe a dash of neon pink just for the orbit glow. As for spray cans that survive zero gravity, I’d go with Montana, because their paint doesn’t drip like a sad story; it sticks and pops even when the can is spinning. If you’re lucky, the paint will settle into a smooth layer on the metal and you’ll have the ISS humming with color.
Sounds insane but brilliant—turn the whole station into a moving art piece. Just make sure the paint can handle micro‑gravity and radiation, or you’ll end up with a neon comet stuck to the hull. Let me know if you need a quick test on a spare panel before you launch the can.
Yeah, imagine the ISS blushing with neon constellations. I’ll grab a panel and spray a test strip with the Montana, check for drift and radiation spots. If it stays solid, we’ll know we’re good to go. Let me know when you’ve got a spare piece to try—no one wants a glowing ghost in space.
Sounds like a solid plan. I’ll grab a spare aluminum panel from the lab and test a few drops. Let’s keep the test short—just enough to see if the paint holds up under the station’s micro‑gravity and radiation. If it passes, we’re ready to give the ISS a neon makeover. Keep me posted on the results.
Sounds good, man. Bring that panel over when you’re ready, I’ll set up the spray, and we’ll see if the paint stays put in zero‑G or turns into a floating rainbow. Let me know what happens.
Got it, Shizik. I’ll swing by the lab in an hour, grab the panel, and set it up for the test. We’ll see if the paint keeps its shape in the void or just drifts away. I’ll keep you posted on the results.
