Well to answer your question...

The Procellarum is the focus of population on the Moon, the hub of a hundred habitats growing together over the decades of the lone satellite acting as the central harbor of incoming and outgoing traffic for Earth...

-Mayflower's Sol System Sourcebook

Always loved the idea of setting out into the unknown and down-to-earth space-exploration (that's an interesting way to put it...). And the world(s) I've been building for my Mayflower comic is definitely set upon that foundation.

It's exciting to see Destiny heading towards some of the same ideas that I was working on and building my reference library up for - like showing the scale and wonder of just our own system without needing hyperdrives and galaxy-spanning scales to make things seem epic. And all the odes I'm seeing to retro sci-fi visuals and authors like Jack Vance is also really exciting. Capturing the idealism of the golden age of sci-fi is definitely something Mayflower's trying to accomplish.

(I'm also super relieved that Destiny's trailers have shown it is very different from my own universe, so I don't have to be called a copycat when my comic finally comes out!)

*Edit: This wasn't supposed to sound like a plug - I just wanted to show that I love space so much that I've been trying to make a comic about it for years.
