More About Point Nemo- Inaccessible, Spacey, and Scary Monsters

I was scrolling through my emails the other day (I get a LOT of emails every day), when I clicked on an interesting link from gCaptain. For the first time ever, a cruise ship reached the North Pole of Inaccessibility. Looking at the picture there reminded me of the cruise I took to Antarctica a few years ago on the MS Roald Amundsen. We also plowed through the ice like that and we all got to get…

1890s Alien Gravesite

WHILE IT RECEIVES NO FANFARE today, the small town of Aurora, Texas was once the Roswell of its day after a well-publicized UFO crash in the area, and the pilot of the spacecraft is said to still be buried in the local cemetery.

According to a story run in the April 19, 1897, edition of the Dallas Morning News a “mystery airship,” as UFOs were known in those days, came sailing out of the sky, smashing through a windmill belonging to Judge J.S. Proctor, before finally crashing into the ground. The debris also destroyed the good judge’s flower garden. Unfortunately the pilot was also killed in the collision, but locals were able to drag what was described as a “petite” and “Martian” body from the wreckage. The body was supposedly buried under a tree branch in the Aurora cemetery, observing good Christian rites...

So I know that Quackity and his team are taking a different approach to introducing the Korean ccs to QSMP, namely introducing people one at a time and minimizing the confusing chaos that comes with large crowds of people screaming as a boat/plane crashes into the island or as people are getting dragged out of freezers. Which is valid ofc. However, I was poking around the Wikipedia page for Point Nemo (where Quesadilla Island is canonically located, iirc) and I found out that Point Nemo is something called a spacecraft cemetery.

So they crashed a boat into the island, and then they crashed a plane into the island. Therefore, I think crashing a fucking space station into the island is clearly the next logical step.

you! you wanna write a pilot

like, a character who drives an aircraft or a spacecraft or something

maybe you got like a lando calrissian or a top gun maverick in mind, possibly a chuck yeager

maybe, just maybe, you don't want to make actual pilots' toes curl in embarrassment for you

so you do not want a hot shot with a death wish for any job other than test pilot

here are qualities you want in a pilot

loves a check list. seriously. check lists and flight plans are everything in aviation. ground crews should also love a check list. ideally, two different people do every maintenance check list, every refueling check list, every cargo check list, every preflight, every post flight, independently. every time. anyone who tells you you can skip a check list in whole or in part is your enemy and trying to kill you.

able to act with creative calm when things go to hell. look into the united airlines flight 232 crash at sioux city. those magnificent bastards found themselves in an aircraft very suddenly lacking one engine and all working control surfaces and put it on the ground without killing everyone aboard or anyone on the ground. possibly the greatest landing in aviation history. more people walked away than didn't. absolute motherfucking legends, including the cabin crew.

again, my information is second hand, but my father, two uncles, and two grandfathers were career pilots. so like, primary sources.

one grandfather flew bombers out of england. y'all like that diagram of a bomber with red dots on it, right? yeah, that grandfather contributed several of those data points. there are photos.

another grandfather, he flew medical flights from europe back stateside. met my grandmother doing it, she was a flight nurse on his aircraft. cute story! we did have to yell at riverside national cemetery a little when we buried my grandmother and remind them that she was a veteran in her own right when they wanted to double stack her in my gradfather's plot.

my uncles flew fighters and commercial jets. didn't know them well but they were nice enough to me.

my dad was army air cavalry, medevac out of hanoi, cargo helicopters out of mainz, gunships as army reserve in yugoslavia, civilian medevac, oil rig pilot (where he met my stepmom who was a mechanic on gulf rigs, those adams boys got some luck with the ladies on their aircraft i tell you what), commercial jet pilot. i was glad when he went from rotating wing to fixed wing craft. he said blowing up range targets with hellfire missiles is the most fun you can have in a vehicle and i believe that.

these are dudes who loved check lists. they walked away from every single landing. with a couple of notable exceptions involving nazi 88mm flak shells, their aircraft were still flight capable afterwards.

yeah okay i kinda just wanted to brag on my people using writing characters as a framing device but hey, they're all giant nerds who did some of the coolest shit out there.

Point Nemo is the location on Earth farthest from land, surrounded by more than 1600 km (1000 miles) of ocean in every direction.

It goes by it's other name "Space Cemetery" as it's the perfect place to dump dead or dying spacecraft. To "bury" something in the cemetery, space agencies have to time a crash over that spot.

Due south, you will reach Point Nemo, the farthest place on Earth from land. You are now closer to passing satellites than you are to any fellow human being.

The water is a chill 45°F/7°C, with the ocean floor 13,000 feet down.

Due to a fluke of ocean currents, this is also a biological dead zone. You will find no fish, no sharks, no whales, no plankton. No ships will pass.

It is also a spacecraft cemetery, where the wreckage of hundreds of decommissioned spacecraft are safely dropped from orbit to litter the seafloor.

Good luck.

The Pacific Ocean is huge.

Point Nemo: The Earth's Most Remote and Mysterious Location

Point Nemo, located in the South Pacific Ocean, is the most isolated point on Earth, situated over 2,688 kilometers from the nearest land. Known as the "Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility," it has become infamous for its extreme remoteness. This desolate spot is also a “spacecraft cemetery,” where over 260 defunct satellites and space stations have been sent to rest, including Russia’s Mir space station. Reaching Point Nemo is a daunting task, requiring specialized ships and equipment, as it is far from any rescue services. Its eerie isolation has inspired fiction, with H.P. Lovecraft using it as the setting for Cthulhu's lair. Point Nemo continues to captivate the imagination, remaining one of the most mysterious and unreachable locations on Earth.
