I can't stand this sort of luddite-esque misanthropy. I guess I shouldn't be surprised coming from Greenpeace.

China has no business in the Arctic. The Arctic belongs to the people that live there.

I'm a long time book reader who has for the most part enjoyed the series just as much as the books. Sometimes I've found changes they've made have improved to storyline, while othertimes they have degraded it. My friends and I dreamed of HBO adapting the series back in 2002 and they have delivered... until now.

I'd suggest that it's ULA that requires some luck. I'd be astonished if they hold onto all of these contracts. They have so much going against them, backlash against the federal government for corruption, spreading their cheeks wide for lobbyist, the situation in Ukraine, and generally not looking out for the best…

I wish my country (Canada) would exclude people who refuse to vaccinate themselves or their children from public healthcare (but not their children, as they shouldn't be punished for their parents ignorance and negligence). But at the same time I don't. What's needed is education. The level of scientific understanding…

In 1996-97, 12 or 13 years old, I believe the first thing I did was look up the show Sliders, and my addiction to forums began. That or researching the Russian election for my grandmother.

If they test and even recover the Falcon Heavy next year I'd bet that it is inevitable.

Some, Bank's The Culture Series and KSR's Mars Trilogy + 2312 are two prime examples of writers showing us near utopias.

They went far too into the DisneyDreamworksPixar aesthetic with these guys. Stck some lips on a Tortoise and you have something immediately better than what Bay went with.

I'd suggest adding Terraforming/Geoengineering.

Shameless plug, this is a dream project for me. This is an early sketch for a Red Mars illustration.

Almost all superhero films.

Add Jaime Jones, Alex Ries.

I think you could have sent two or three times the number of rovers and landers and one human would still have accomplished more.

I'm not sure if it was Chris McKay or Steve Squyres but one of them said a human scientist at the same location on Mars would accomplish more than the robot has in one week than Opportunity has it in full lifetime. I think that interview was from a year or two ago.

I understand your frustration, funding is a lot lower than it should be.

If we're talking about eras I feel that it should qualify. The cited example cited in the article seems more suited to a decade.

Surprised not to see more books here,

Are we speaking about radiation preventing long term colonization (A) or rather as a barrier to human missions (B)?

I really hope this film is not as simple as the trailer suggests.
