Chase scene from Cowboy Bebop episode 10: “Ganymede Elegy” [light spoiler] As Spike closes in on his bounty, the fugitive flees the quiet Ganymede harbours for this industrial area, zipping through impressive dams and turbines. The boat itself is  fanboat of sorts, flat-bottomoed and propelled by two aircraft propellers mounted at the aft.

Ganymede, from Cowboy Bebop episode 10: “Ganymede Elegy” [spoiler-free] Jupiter is described in many books as being a madness to behold - its sickly colour scheme and violent surface storms have often made me queasy just in photographic form. Seen in the reflected, terraformed sea of Ganymede like this though, it takes on a new majesty. So too do the floating habitats, each functioning as independent cities.
