  1. The Thing (2011) is basically just a film adaptation of a very violent game of Among Us

      Never seen it, but I have been binging a lot of Among us lately, so I'll take your word for it :D

  2. The sucky thing about living in Australia is, whenever a cool event is happening live in America I can't see it because it's the middle of the night

      Yeah, I figured. But we were also getting really close to a hop this time.

      I've tried to watch a particularly late launch once (can't remember which), and I was exhausted the next morning.

      Was it a suprise to hear how SN4 made an unplanned flight the other day?

  4. Anyone else remember this little project from years ago?

    I'm still working on it a little every now and then.

      My vote went to asteroids (though I think space in general fits). I think after awhile, that planets will only be settled to set up initial infrastructure on the planet. Many people will probably stay, because they've built a life already. And instead of vast surface colonies, you have concentrated cities, with most of the population in Dyson bubbles around the planet, built from planetary resources and nearby asteroids.

  5. So recently I finished reading Verne's From the Earth to the Moon. Surprising how much science has stayed the same in the last one-and-a-half centuries. Also, that big cannon would make a perfect weapon for shooting down hostile spacecraft.

      Ugh, I've been to so many antique shops looking for that book. I think I'll just have to order it.

  7. Saw Ad Astra today. Well yesterday since it's past 1am here. 10/10, loved how realistic it was, especially with the ending.

    Also, I noticed that most of my favourite "realistic" space films almost form a coherent timeline:

    Gravity

    The Martian

    MARS (not a film but it fits)

    Europa Report

    Space Odyssey: VTTP (not a film but it fits)

    Ad Astra

    The Expanse (not a film but it fits)

    Avatar

    Passengers

     

    The only ones I can't place in the timeline are the films The Wandering Earth and Interstellar, the TV show Salvation, and the doucufiction Alien Planet.

      It's realistic? I saw a clip talking about an antimatter reaction that could destroy the solar system, and I found myself thinking it was going to be closer to science fantasy. So I'm guessing you're talking about the rest of the movie.

  8. What if the sun was invented by sunscreen companies so they can sell more sunscreen

  9. so i used to be pretty adamant that ksp wasn't getting a sequel

      Then SMACK

      I was kinda the same with Stellaris, but after the announcement for KSP2, it makes sense now. And now I'm wondering if Stellaris should get it too in a couple years :D

      Yeah, KSP1 is perfectly fine though for it, doesn't need to be perfect :)

       

      ALSO I'm reading an article, and my prayers were answered :D

      "There is a population of Kerbals locally in any colony that you build, and that population does increase organically. And as that population increases, the colony's abilities increase as well. But not it's not the sort of situation where if you don't tend to the colony, it collapses or something bad happens."

      I dunno, colonies will be a thing too. So I hope they add it. What I'd really love is for kerbals to spawn on your colonies, instead of having to take them all there manually.

      Well, they're adding Project Orion, and Daedalus it looks like. Be stupid to not add reactors :D

      And solar systems, dunno about outer planets.

      I've been excited since this morning. I can't wait for more info and gameplay footage.

  13. Small unexpected problem: I'm designing a kaiju-sized spacebourne creature which is supposed to look threatening, but since it needs to have really large eyes I've accidentally created the most adorable thing ever. I think I'll name him Bubbles.

      Like that space Amoeba you can find in Stellaris!

  14. Time for a new appearance. How’s the new pfp?

  15. Anyone doing NaNoWriMo tomorrow? I'm reviving The Children Between Worlds :) Yes, that one.

      My book? Just the first draft. I can't expect to get it all in a month :) 30 days for at least 50k words, gonna be tough :D

  16. Don't panic, the new profile picture is only temporary, just got a rush of Gravity Falls nostalgia again.

      Great show. I wish it went on longer, but I understand why they canceled it.

  17. Worked out some values for a civilization in a book that may be familiar to you... (Hint. It's on the forums)

    Parent star (Unnamed): K2-type. 0.85x the mass and 0.88x the radii of the Sun. With 0.61x the luminosity (Values from "How to build a star" by Artifexian) Inner HZ limit ~0.74 AU, outer HZ limit ~1.07 AU.

    Main planet (Unnamed): Temperate Terra. 0.37x the mass, and 0.66x the radius. With ~1.22x the density of Earth, and ~0.85 g on the surface. Semi-major axis: 0.75 AU, orbital period: 278.9 days. (Values from "Terrestrial worlds: physical characteristics" also by Artifexian)
    Speculative/Random values: Day/Night cycle, 19 hours, 13 minutes. Axial tilt: 33 degrees (Within the range of a habitable planet, from "Seasonbuilding 101"). Atmospheric pressure, 1.6 atm. Gases and temperature are subject to change. (From "Designing Earth-like atmospheres") 10.8 Celsius. Atm gases, 68.5% N2, 27.6% O2, 2.5% Ar, 1% CO2, 0.4% trace gases. (You can see why it's subject to change. I don't know of calculators/calculations that can give me a quick and dirty temperature value based on CO2 concentration, albedo, and atm pressure).

    Moon (Unnamed): Temperate Selena: 0.00227x the mass, and 0.1476 the radii of Earth. giving it a surface gravity of 0.104 g. It orbits 's 30 planetary radii (Based on the above planet) out from the planet, giving it an orbital period of 15.88 days. (From "terrestrial Moons")

    Now I need to find the geostationary height of the planet, think of tectonics, albedo, and of some interesting aliens. Finally, filling in the gaps for the rest of the solar system. Whew :) 

    1. Spaceception

      Spaceception

      Changes to the planet: Day/Night cycle ~19 hrs 9 minutes. Geostationary height, ~21846 km. Atm. comp. 68.5% N2, 27.6% O2, 2.8% Ar, ).042 CO2, 0.000006 SO2. Unbreathable. Albedo 39.92%, Temp, ~10 Celsius.

       

      B: Hot Selena. 0.07x the mass, 0.44x the radius of Earth. 0.36g. Temp: 456K with 0.12 Albedo. 61.68 day orbit. Tidally locked.

      C: Warm desert. 0.23 x the mass, 0.68x the radius. 0.497 g. Temp: 314K With 0.16 Albedo. 181 day orbit. Thin atmosphere, no water, weak magnetosphere.

      E: Icy world. 0.029 x the mass, 0.31 x the radius of Earth. 0.31 g. Temp: 211K with 0.44 Albedo. 452 day orbit. Thin atmosphere, small subsurface lakes, no life.

      E1: Icy world (Moon): 0.0014 x the mass, and 0.1022x the radius. (Will probably change. The gravity seems a bit high). Temp: 220K with 0.32 Albedo. Orbits its primary every 37.2 days. No atmosphere, tidally locked, small subsurface seas, no life?

      Pretty compact system for a K type star :) There's an asteroid belt of course, but the entire system has <4 AU radius. Reason will be explained at some point in the future... I have a premise and all, but no real conflicts or suitable ending for the story yet.

  18. I know a lot of people are tired of reboots/remakes/live-action versions but damn I'm excited for this. One of my favorite shows. I've wanted to see these battles and characters in live action for a long time. The best part is that the original creators are a part of it. :)

  20. I just noticed the new profile picture :D

    What is it? I can't tell

      Spaceception

      Ringworld :) A open roof ring-shaped habitat far bigger than any O'Neil Cylinder or Stanford Torus we've imagined. Or even one encircling a star. It'd be either really hard or impossible to build, but Isaac Arthur made a cool video about it, talking about possibilities or alternatives.

  21. *excited screeching*

    There may be TWO extra planets around GJ 1132! One of which orbits near the habitable zone!

      I hope we see transits, if they were able to even somewhat measure the atmosphere for GJ 1132 b, It'd be awesome to see data for c as well.
