Greyghoster, w SpaceX's Starship will create 'gravity' with centrifugal force

Maybe Musk could watch The Martian? They have the centrifugal gravity thing down pat. The concept of build in orbit seems attractive too.

inkican,

If Elon musk was in the Martian, he'd be Dr Evil

tunetardis, w SpaceX's Starship will create 'gravity' with centrifugal force

It would be nice is someone built a spin gravity space station with lunar and martian levels. We could see how people fare after several months in that environment before setting off to build permanent bases.

Dark Matter WAS a great spiritual successor to StarGate & B5 that SyFy murdered just as it was going from interesting to really great.

Didnt mythbusters disprove this like 15 years ago?

ashok36,

“I’m standing right in it and I’m not dead.”

EmptyRadar,

That is discussed in the article:

The Discovery Channel series “MythBusters” featured episodes in 2004, 2006 and 2010 testing out scenarios for the purported death ray but ultimately declared the legend to be a myth when each test failed to light a wooden boat on fire. In 2005, a class of students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, inspired by the show’s first episode, was able to ignite a wooden boat once with a similar technique to Sener’s on a larger scale, but failed on a second attempt.

Sener said he believes that combining MIT’s findings with his own, the data could suggest the death ray was plausible, and Archimedes likely could have used the sun’s rays with large mirrors to cause combustion. But the technology may not work in cold temperatures or cloudy weather, and the sea’s impact on the ships’ motion affects the practicality of this device, he added in his paper.

That’s precisely what an alien would say.

FfaerieOxide, w Ready to be mad? Come read "10 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching The Matrix, 25 Years Later"
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

Why would I click an article the only thing about which you have disclosed is that it will make me mad?

All equal I'd as soon not seek that out and the premise about learning more about The Matrix rings hollow because unless the article's author (who—like everything else about the piece—is not revealed in the post) is Bane Hooked Up to pregnant horse pee, they don't understand The Matrix better than I do.

What if they identify most with the ship’s computer, Data, and the other cybernetic/optronic characters

inkican,

"LCARS understands meee!"

Lath, w AI chatbots can get better at math because ... Star Trek

They're programmed to follow the data. And we should be thankful for that. Imagine if they were programmed to follow the lore.

Apple TV+ has been making some good shows. That plus a good source material would make this look good.

I actually don't mind that one particular scene much, and that comes from someone who really loathed The Last Jedi overall. Using the Force to propel oneself in zero gravity isn't bad, and the vacuum of space is not nearly as deadly in reality as science fiction often portrays it.

However, the one thing that did stick out as a glaring problem to me was the fact that the Raddus was fleeing the First Order's fleet at that moment, so its engines must have been firing at full thrust. So how is Leia and all that debris floating around motionless relative to the ship? Indeed, even if the ship wasn't actively thrusting, all that stuff was moving away from the Raddus pretty vigorously after the bridge blew open. Why did it stop? Is space actually an ocean?
