We are extremely far away from making humans “disaster tolerant” that way. Sending a few people to the moon or Mars is hard enough, building a permanent colony a lot harder, and making it self sustaining far beyond our technology. It would mean we’d have to be able to extract all necessary raw materials, have…

Be happy it’s built on the side pointing away from Earth.

What about having all the crew in the tank turret, and at a strategic movement blasting it off to walk away on it’s own legs, while the big ball turns out to be just a huge bomb that keeps rolling towards the enemy?

Better hope it’s winter and head far north of the polar circle.

There is Fred Hoyle’s ‘Inferno’ where it is the center of the galaxy that blows up, torching the southern half of the planet.

We know how Dunk&Egg ends too, and it’s no happy ending.

It would be amusing if he realized he won’t be able to finish the series so ‘Winds of Winter’ just ends with everyone dying. (Yes, even the Night King). During the book people see a comet in the sky and interpret it as a sign of worse times to come, and it is because at the end it hits Westeros.

Or a new Dunk and Egg story.

Being a coward is how you survive for a very long time in a dangerous world. Heroes die young.

Didn’t know about that one. I’ve only watched the 1975 version where he used a latex mask when he wanted to be visible.

Being permanently invisible would be rather horrible. Every passing car a death trap, because they won’t stop for you, and won’t call for an ambulance if you are hit. Always having to dodge other people to avoid bumbing into them and revealing yourself. Making sure no one see you making footprints etc. Worrying about…

Rise of Skywalker demonstrated that death is no excuse not to go back to work.

Someone could try to make a movie out of “The Unparalleled Invasion”. Ought to work really well, especially now with COVID-19 on the loose.

That was my vote too, for those who are really old school. So sad when he found what remained of his best buddy. And if we go for robot NPC, also your companion in Beneath a Steel Sky doing his best Dalek impersonation.

If it becomes sufficiently smart it may be able to convince/trick us into treating it politely, or simply shrug and think to itself that’s all you can expect from dirty, stinking apes. It may not even be similar enough to human thinking that it cares.

What about ‘Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow’ for a nerdy romance?

He ate the seagull’s children and they crapped on him, and the gulls are the assholes?

I wonder if they pat down they employees for hidden weapons as well. It would be unfortunate if they had one of USA:s regular mass shootings just the day the CEO is there to end up in the line of fire. On the other hand, the show would get a lot of extra viewers that week.

It turns out the key to solve the puzzle is stored in their DNA.(Don’t ask me how or why, it’s not that kind of movie)

This was long ago when Seagal was still taken seriously as a star, and it was not ironic cheering. It was in Florida BTW. Ironic cheering is when Rambo shoots down a helicopter with bow and arrow, not seeing a man get his arm broken.
