Going faster to Mars reduces the problem a lot. Which is why SpaceX is planning on 80-120 day trips.

SpaceX’s plans are for their ITS ship fast trips taking only 80-120 days. Musk hinted even faster than that too, eventually.

But even NASA’s slower trajectories has only been 180-270 days, not a year like this article is claiming.

Hey everyone! I got a good idea, in these post-factual Orwellian times, let’s invite Big Brother into our home! That’ll end well.

What a piece of junk.

Has anyone at Syfy discussed why they are releasing this season this way?

More like 4.2 LY away. It moves too. In 28,000 years, it’ll be at it’s closest approach to the Sol system, if I remember correctly about 2.5 LY away.

The stars move, of course. In about 28,000 years, Proxima Centauri will be at it’s closest approach to the Sol system, about 2.5 LYs away if I remember correctly. If we send a probe, it’s got to aim for where it’s going to be, not where it is now.

If Michelle Yeoh doesn’t grab a bat’leth and wreck some Klingons in combat at any point in the story (before she presumably dies) I’ll be very disappointed.

I appreciate that, but a factor of 100 off is not being conservative. :-)

Fuel doesn’t cost anywhere near 50%. First, it’s a rideshare, so fuel is paid for by the primary mission, which is going up regardless of there being a secondary payload. Second, fuel cost is between $200k-$300k per flight of the Falcon 9 rocket. That’s about 0.5% of the list price.

I’m guessing instead of Shakespeare this Picard has studied the Art of War.

I always thought the organization N.I.C.E. in That Hideous Strength was the inspiration for the DHARMA Initiative in LOST.

If that’s not a Wonder Years quote, it ought to be.

Earth hasn’t cleared its orbit of all Near Earth Objects. I guess Earth is just a dwarf too!

“The gods are dicks. If they all ended up dying, I wouldn’t care one bit.”

There was an apocalypse in Narnia whence she came. Jadis, the White Witch. She got spooked in the fight thinking Aslan was coming to get her.

Does this mean they’ve given up on a season-long story, and gone completely episodic? I know that will please some fans who want to see the same thing over and over again, but I am disappointed.

That seal looks so hyped.

Orphan Black and Star Trek Discovery do film in the same city, so i’ve been hoping she’d do a guest role on STD at least.

Dump season 3, but renew it anyway for season 4... I think somehow time travel was involved in this decision. We won’t understand it until we reach the end and go back to the beginning.
