Ah, good point on the ramping up. Sounds like a lot of lessons were learned. And if you’re going to mutiny, then doing it on an 84 day mission is probably the way to go.

Part of the problem was that the previous Skylab crews were crazy productive, so Houston probably piled on more work, thinking the new cree could handle it. But they were rookies and on the last Skylab flight for 4-5 years (the station was supposed to be boosted by the Shuttle, but fell out of orbit before the Shuttle…

No, the Prequels did a pretty great job of robbing Vader of his fearsomeness. Hell, even Jedi was doing that, as it portrayed him as just a tool of the Emperor, who was begging his son to join him because he needed Luke’s help to rule.

This is a huge time and energy suck. It’s slowly started to dominate my life, where everything is centered around writing close to 2k PER DAY. It’s exhausting fun, but I fear the daily pressure may be causing to overwrite scenes. But it’s a rough draft isn’t it?

“NASA astronauts lan L. Bean...”

Never tell me the odds!

Apollo 12 was struck by lighting twice as it launched, yet everything worked out ok thanks to some quick thinking by crew member Alan Bean and mission control.

Look, have Madison dump Travis, hook up with Strand and together they take the boat and go look for Tobais. Anyone else they find gets a chance to prove their capable, but if they’re as whiny as Travis, they walk the plank. From then on, it’s Fear The Walking Dead: Pirates!

Is it possible to be even more down about something you were already down for?! November can’t get here fast enough!

Oh, I wish it had stayed because now the scene makes more sense. Odd that people find it distracting.

This is too weird, next you’ll be telling a secret has a piece of his penis and is using it signal an alien armada.

Oh, I was paraphrasing Mike Collins, the Command Module Pilot on Apollo 11, when wrote that the docking mechanism was “annoying complicated”. He said as much in his book, Carrying the Fire, and described himself as being no good with power tools what not not (again paraphrasing), so taking apart the probe always…

Once the two ships are docked, it was removed by the Command Module Pilot from inside. Reportly annoyingly complicated.

There was nothing awkward about the Command & Service Module stack! Behind its beauty from Apollo 15:

That problem is that the original message was extremely low-fi. A single line drawing can’t contain much. It retrospect, it is rather odd that some form of motion picture wasn’t included.

Honestly, these look pretty ridiculous, making it hard to take them even vaguely serious. But I usually prefer Marvel, so maybe it’s brand/style issue.

Is there a high resolution version? Because that would be epic.

Well sure, if think this is an actual photo and not a CGI creation.

The show has been really good and gets a lot of the family dynamics right, which is inferently human and grounds everything. It’s a great touch that makes the larger issues work so well.

It’s a pretty terrible hard scifi movie. Just looking at the launch vehicle, you can tell it’s totally incapable of sending humans to the Moon, much less Europa
