Reply to comment by OsakaWilson in What is your favourite space movie? (Hope this isn’t to shallow for this sub) by Oztravels
If you just mute every scene with James Holden, it's the perfect show. And then maybe reshoot scenes to give Naomi personality besides loving him for two of those middle seasons. Matter of fact, just rewrite the show without him in it. Double the amount of Amos and triple the amount of the pilot. If that's not enough, throw in a little extra Draper.

Exactly! I wouldn't get in a Wright Brothers prototype so why would I go to a psychologist using pre-Atomic psychology?

"Wrecked with success"
Freud died two years before top hats no longer contained mercury. It may be that success led to poisoned hats and that wealthy men of that time really were wrecked by the effects.

Reply to comment by Stufy_stuf in imo the most terrifying part of space is rouge planets in deep space where there are no stars around. just pitch black. those planets are real. right now. freezing in the dark, thousands of light years away from any kind of light. imagine being on that planet, or even in its place. just terrifying. by Stufy_stuf
Starlight might give you a horizon, but I agree. I'd trip and die within minutes. If there was ever water, it's ice by now. If there were ever soft vegetation, it's gone. I'd definitely scream just to see what it does. Maybe invent the most advanced form of echolocation that planet has ever seen

Would you rather be in a space suit, all alone, drifting in space or on a breathing-friendly rogue planet in the pitch black? Either way, no one is coming for you but at least the HUD will keep you company while you die. On the other hand, you can stretch your legs on the planet (which, for nitpicking, has enough low-key geothermal activity to keep you warm despite having no nearby star)

Reply to Do you think it's possible for Elon to land people on Mars by 2029? I am skeptical of his claims. by [deleted]
The US government in contracts with private space entities including SpaceX? Yes. For Elon Musk, I doubt very much is possible at all. Does he know anything about rockets or habitation systems? Or people? Or Mars?
Would he happen to know how many gees people experience on the surface? Would he be able to tell you the names of the crew without a notecard?

If everyone knows something, then 10,000 people have to learn it every single day.

Reply to If someone builds a space elevator, what is its clear night visibility distance? If a station was grounded in Los Angeles, how far away would it be visible assuming the station is many times the size of the ISS? by [deleted]
Mount Kenya National Park is the first space elevator y'all build and I remember seeing it from India.

Reply to Dolphins Shrug Off Hot Sauce-Spiked Nets | Science by CaptainPeachfuzz
"What? Our fishing industry is harming the ocean? Cover the nets in hot sauce to irritate and hurt the bigger animals!"
But for real, is it good sauce? Have you considered dolphins may be used to ocean trash and spicy food by now? Maybe try something spicier!
But then here I am saying, "What? Our net-poison is too weak for dolphins? Make it stronger!"
