in reply to This spaceship does not exist

The image depicts a large, white spacecraft in space, partially disintegrated with debris scattered around it. The spacecraft has a cylindrical shape with a large circular opening at one end, exposing its interior. It features various protrusions, including antennas and docking ports, and shows signs of damage and wear. The background is a dark expanse of space dotted with stars, and a blue planet is visible in the lower left corner, suggesting the spacecraft is in orbit around it. Smaller spacecraft or debris are seen in the distance, adding to the scene's sense of chaos. The overall color palette is dominated by whites and grays of the spacecraft, contrasted against the blackness of space and the blue of the planet.
