Is it safe to imagine Sternen-tanz means something absolutely filthy?

Modern science has disproven the old “aether” theory of space and replaced it with the modern “Kool-Aid” theory.
I see she has sensibly protected the only part of the body affected by the rigors of space – the head.

The video shoot for the reissue of Spinal Tap’s “Big Bottom” was dedicated to the model who drowned making it…

Now THIS is how you get your sternen tanneds.

Didn’t Arthur C. Clarke say something about any sufficiently phallic spaceship being indistinguishable from a dildo. No, I have no idea why that thought just came into my mind.

“Captain Nemo vs The Sea Horse”*
*The title of the PG version. People were confused when the movie didn’t include a single sea horse, but it didn’t seem to hurt at the box office.

The Robinsons are Lost in Space. ‘StarDance’ as done by Daft Punk needs space to be the colour of those Revels you hope you don’t bite into without warning.

Ringo and the boys are getting quite the show from Lucy.

Arrrr! I spy some pirate booty abaft!
March 8th, 2021 at 5:43 pm
Gee I wonder if her—feet—are tanned as well.
March 8th, 2021 at 5:59 pm
I’m confused. Is she underwater or in outer space?
March 8th, 2021 at 6:07 pm
It’s space because there’s almost a full moon.
Well, someone had to say it!!

I guess a gratuitous side boob would have been too much for the West German readership to handle.
March 8th, 2021 at 8:58 pm
@Raoul: I guess that depends on whether that thing in the background is a submarine, a plane, or both?
@fred: You vant ze boob? You can’t handel ze boob!

Voyage to see what’s on the bottom. (Stole that one from MAD magazine.)

There were naked people, but they didn’t wear dumb hats. Oh, and it was outer space (conventionally black with twinkly bits), not the Sea of Orange Juice.
I mean, it says “Sternen” right there, attendee of UAI Bonn! Put some verdammt Sternen in it!
This is a good book, completely undeserving of this cover in any language.
Also, Germans, I don’t care how Teutonic you wanna make it sound, the name of the award is and always has been “Hugo”. No Gernsback. And he was from Luxembourg anyway. You could have had a smaller shuriken.

Baby got Hugo Gernsback?

@GSS ex-noob: well, there is what looks more like normal space in the upper left of the cover. Perhaps they’re looking out at space proper while floating in some sort of (orange), hmm, space-sea? Space-swimming pool? (Making that a pool toy rather than a space ship).

DER GALACTISCHEN RAUM-BADONKADONK

Just so you know, I consider that above comment my peak artistic achievement. It’s only downhill from “DER GALACTISCHEN RAUM-BADONKADONK.”

Maybe the cover was painted by someone who didn’t speak German, and thus went with the English meaning of “stern”. Cuz we’re definitely seeing her stern.
@ARY: does badonkadonk take any umlauts? At least metal umlauts?
June 15th, 2021 at 12:02 pm
@GSS ex-noob: You mean something like this?
