Finally!! I have literally been looking forward to this for years.

My workplace is pretty laid back, so red band trailers are usually not a problem, but...I definitely had to scramble for the minimize button at that last part.

I just got my first smartphone about a year ago (absolute low-end prepaid android), and I totally agree — there are a lot of little conveniences, but nothing really necessary. I do kind of miss my little flip phone. I guess the conveniences are worth the extra money, but just barely.

in which he saw a homeless man feeding human feces to a dog, only to be told “This doesn’t concern you.”

I’d go one step further and say we should focus our resources on building a couple good space elevators first. That will make the rest a lot easier.

I really hope Ant-man doesn’t do the trope where his daughter’s stepfather turns out to be a douche, allowing him to get his ex-wife back at the end. It’s such a cheap, easy way to a cliche happy ending....and it’s also insulting to the wife character. Much better if he actually gets shared custody and becomes a good…

You can slide the slider on the image to see what it looks like now. There most definitely appears to be some detritus.

So — tangent thought — if the center of gravity is outside the surface, what would it be like to go there? I’m assuming you’d be significantly lighter on the Charon-facing side of the planet?

One thing I haven’t seen yet is artificial structures — can you go into the space stations? Are there cities? Interact with NPCs? At 2:20 in the video it looked like there was some kind of building in the distance?

I admit that I don’t follow Spidey comics anymore, but I understand that there was recently a huge series about many Spider-Men from alt Universes teaming up...

I’m guessing you probably couldn’t do this on a glass-top stove? It seems like the motion of the bowl would damage the surface?

I had this book too, and my mom recently bought copies for both of my sons. They didn’t take it as seriously as I did, though...didn’t even bother counting the damn windows in the house. No scientific rigor in this generation!

I’ve had this “Children’s reader” edition book since literally before I can remember. 1979 or 1980, probably. Still in good condition.

Hmm. I guess we’ll have to keep our fingers crossed for those big vapor geysers to fly through!

Yeah, 1990s Shaggy could have been modeled off of me in 1996.

I think they mean “warm” by space rock standards, not by human standards.

with instruments that can do everything from visual maps of Europa’s surface, to spectral analysis, radar, soundings, magnetic field analysis, temperature sensing, and more.

For a morbidly fun story about the effects of ergot in a small 19th century British village, I recommend Barbara Comyns’ novella Who was Changed and Who was Dead.
