Boa pro ralouim!
I love both. Cygnus definitely has the upper hand musically (understatement), and of course there’s the Rocinante connection. But Countdown has that real rocket launch excitement and vibe, and has been used to wake up astronauts in space. It’s a tough choice!
Esquisito é uma palavra dura, vamos dizer “avant-garde”
Bruce Dickinson wrote a song about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE-2IhIwvek&t=2
I think I’ve been through every project from Arjen at this point 😅
Love them all!
Cries in anjin
as the defectors must take courses on South Korean society before they are formally integrated
Would love to see what these courses entail
I think you did a great job distilling it. I can see many parallels with other communities I know too.
You just described the Esperanto community 😅
They need more struts!
First thing I thought of when reading OP haha
Steven Seagull!!!
Read somewhere else that the engine in that plane lies really close to the ground, and the guy (maintenance worker on his first day) got suckered in. Can’t say if any of this is true but that’s what I read.
With that kind of propulsion politically available, I doubt finding workable combinations of mitigation strategies to interstellar medium hazards would be the showstopper. Especially not one to hold us back for time scales that oceans did. Getting humans interested in prioritizing projects like that, to me, is the real headscratcher.
We could put people on Alpha Centauri in 88 years with 50s technology like Project Orion. The really hard part is figuring out a way to make us use the technology we do have for things like that, instead of for bombing each other back to the stone age.
For me it’s between this masterpiece and Untitled Goose Game.
