Apparently some astrobiologists (The College Fix”, Jacob Haqq-Misra) are fearful mankind will ruin extra-terrestrial planets through colonization. To me, that fear is just dumb and is overly critical of mankind. It’s not as if nobody learned anything from the past. Astrobiologists have to be rare creatures, dumb ones hopefully rarer yet.

Life will be carbon based wherever it exists. Corrosive blood that can dissolve steel? That was unnecessary.

It wasn't to my taste. The original was so dark I could hardly watch it. To me, it started bad and just got worse.

The first one was definitely the best IMO. The others are okay.. the last one was still entertaining, but can't beat the first one ever lol

That's one I keep meaning to watch again. We have the set. I found the last wasn't as good as the earlier ones, the first being the best.

"Black Mirror", I thought, came close. (Scifi and related stuff.)

I like those.

For space shows, I enjoyed The Expanse.

But oops.. I guess we do need to get back to mainly talking about actual space in here lol

Someone share something about space to get us on track ;p

It would be an interesting project to actually recover the device. Maybe one step too far at the moment but it would be brilliant to raise their confidence in space if they could pull it off?

It was a launch that took it south so we got to watch it for a longer time. The seperation on the main booster was really spectacular.
