Welcome to FuturePorn

This is a subreddit for realistic futuristic concept designs. It is for high quality images or videos that depict a believable view of the future.

Naboo spaceport to be exact. So according to Star Wars, PastPorn?

[–]kafkas_jaw 20 points21 points ago

FarfarawayPorn.

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."

[–]Mr_Lobster 9 points10 points ago

As someone pointed out last place this was posted, this is a terrible design. You miss the runway and/or have to abort, you crash straight into a cliff.

[–]Krakatoacoo 9 points10 points ago

Not exactly. Spacecraft in Star Wars do not really need a long runway to take off, since takeoff is generally hovering up and rotating the craft around at the same time. Smaller craft may just lift immediately after a small amount of runway.

[–]Mr_Lobster 3 points4 points ago

Then why is there a runway to begin with?

[–]Krakatoacoo 5 points6 points ago

Regarding the runway, I don't really know the real reason. The runway might be for emergency landing or probably used by ground crews for the terminals.

[–]aceair 5 points6 points ago

Remember in Star wars Ep III? When they have to land the big ship on coruscant? That would suggest the runways are for emergencies primarily. So i guess you're right. Those naboo runways are a horrible idea.

[–]FirmHams 0 points1 point ago

I imagine it as if the ships land at the end, and these 'runways' act as a way to tow the ship in and out of hangars, and to drive supply and emergency vehicles between landed ships and such.

[–]Mr_Subtlety 1 point2 points ago

I think the "runway" is actually a road leading to the buildings. If I remember correctly, the hangers are mostly nestled inside the cliff, so I speculate you drive up to them on the roads below and take off from inside the cliff.

[–]slappymcnutface 2 points3 points ago

I've been reading Ringworld recently and Larry Niven keeps describing a spaceport at the edge of the ring that I imagined almost exactly like this.

Though this looks very "star wars" to me.

[–]SierraFiveZero 18 points19 points ago

Yup this is definitely Naboo from Star Wars, most likely Episode II.

[–]OozyDelphi 11 points12 points ago

Yup! Naboo indeed! Posted Yesterday to /r/ImaginaryLandscapes titled Star Wars, Episode III by Yanick Dusseault. Also, the Millennium Falcon can also be found in the image!

[–]JetSetWilly 4 points5 points ago

Why do they have runways when the space ships appear to be able to float??

[–]silverence 1 point2 points ago

Cuz Ewoks.

[–]VAPossum 2 points3 points ago

I can see my house from here!

I miss Star Wars Galaxies more than I should admit. :(

[–]ChewiestBroom 0 points1 point ago

Relevant ProjectSWG plug. Might be worth checking out.

[–]RajMahal77 1 point2 points ago

I wish these were 3D environments that I could explore. It wouldn't have to be in VR but even on my notebook they'd be awesome.

[–]tommywood93 0 points1 point ago

That's the capitol of Naboo. From Episode I or II

[–]ndeming -1 points0 points ago

Booooo!!! No star wars prequels!!

[–]rorroz 0 points1 point ago

There is a YT-1300 (Millennium Falcon type) on the pad between the two waterfalls!

[–]atomnight -1 points0 points ago

this looks like naboo
