A lot of space opera for sale this weekend! Check out the popular Narratess Indie Book Sale at indiebook.sale! #spaceopera #booksale

Banner for the Narratess Indie Book Sale, running August 29 through 31 at indiebook.sale. A chonky dragon reads a book, a pile of skulls with a candle and ghost sit on the left of the text, and a space ship flies by a planet on the right of the text. The whole thing is surrounded by space opera book covers.

Yup, that's how it happened. Buzz Aldrin grabbed his rock climbing equipment and flew to the moon! Super accurate science right here.

A vintage comic book. Space Adventures Presents: Space Trip To The Moon. A banner says "Now! Man's First Trip To The Moon!" The image shows the moon and planets in the background, and an astronaut in a yellow spacesuit with what looks like rock climbing equipment on his belt floating towards another astronaut far in the distance.

Happy birthday to actor Peter Strauss! He is, of course, best known for his role as Wolff in "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone." Wolff and Molly Ringwald enter the Forbidden Zone to battle Michael Ironside, who looks like a zombie with dental issues. Still, fun movie!

Happy anniversary to Spaceballs, released on this day in 1987! Did you know the Millennium Falcon has a cameo? If you watch closely during the space diner scene, you can see that MF outside! I'm not going to do the red circle thing. Just pretend this is a Where's Han book. #spaceopera #movies

Happy anniversary to It Came From Outer Space! The classic alien invasion film was released on this day in 1953. The film may be best remembered by Rocky Horror fans. It's mentioned in the song "Science Fiction/Double Feature," along with Forbidden Planet, The Invisible Man, and Flash Gordon.

Like a D8 die shape? Neat idea!

A gray eight-sided die showing the numbers 2, 3, 8, and 5.

If I wanted realism I'd be watching a documentary, not a spaceships and robots movie. #spaceopera #memes

The Exit 12 meme, showing a sign that says "Silent Space Scenes" are straight ahead, and a blue car labeled "Me" turning right for "Spaceship Goes Wooosh!"

These pickle jars have to be the worst spacesuit design in all of space opera. What were they thinking?

An image from "Flint Baker and the One-Eyed Monsters of Mars," showing two space adventurers wearing bizarre glass bubbles covering their head and torso. They also have no pant legs or sleeves. This pickle jar design is miles away from a real space suit.

Coming this summer... the space adventure you've been waiting for... Voyage To Pleasant Meadow Planet! Thrill as these brave galactic explorers stop for a picnic! Wine! Cheese! Hummus! You won't believe the nice day they have!

A black and white photograph of cadets of the Yeysk Aviation School walking through a pleasant meadow before a flight. They were wearing flight suits and helmets that could pass for space adventurer costumes in a bad movie.
