This has potential for "love, death & robots", for sure.

Obviously, the trick when 90 atmospheres and 800° F means your EVA is measured in seconds, speed is of the essence. Accomplish your checklist goals ASAP. Then quit while you're a head.

It's so incredibly difficult to create good short form content and in only around 2 minutes you created something intriguing, a bit horrifying, and lore based enough to make a larger story with interesting characters. Love your comics on instagram and love seeing such great animations being made. Hope your work gets larger recognition and to see more content.

All those people saying 'Why didn't they send a droid?'
I guess to stake a claim requires a person to physically stake said claim.

This needs to be a full length film, right now. Great work 👏

I can imagine her head preserved in a Futurama style glass fishbowl along with Nixon and others. Forever alive as Tricky Dickie's jar mate. A plaque attached describing the first astronaut on Venus. School kids muse at the jars with heads. Now THAT is Hell.

I keep coming back to this video. This is the Top Gun Maverick of SciFi shorts.

Everybody knows hell is a real place.
Well, anyone who's seen Event Horizon.

Best sci-fi short film I have ever seen!

[gglen]

I get it now. Some corporation claimed Venus, and all mineral rights heretoin for itself BUT the claim stake MUST be placed by a human to be officially registered. So they cut a deal with the aging astronaut lady for her to get a kick-ass new body upon the return of her frozen head to Earth.

Absolutely incredible. So excited to see your work in video form!

[lesliesmith]

[JDarkley]

Hell yeah, this one is probably my favorite Bad Space Comic.

And funny enough the Soviet Union was able to send a couple of probes there and take pictures, the only pictures we have from the surface so far.

[xandermason]

Abaolutely fantastic, honestly. I fell in love with the concepts raised in your comics, and seeing them brought to animation is a great sign for you!
Keep up the good work mate, we cant wait for more ❤

THAT is how you make an engaging film! Damn! Nicely done! 10/10

An Android could have performed that task! "I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe, hmmmm attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C- Beams glitter in the dark, near The Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in

[thehside]

Whoa, great job!
Now I can't wait to see the next one
Specially "Above Flatland", that would be an amazing trip
