There's like no way something the size of a colony wouldn't leave a Yucatan size crater that can only be seen from space, right? Aren't like continent killing asteroids the size of a few football fields? What, did Zeon fire the colony thrusters on the way down?

Probably. The Chicxulub impactor was anywhere from 11 - 81 km in diameter, but it weighed between 1.0 x 10^15 and 4.6 x 10^17 kg and going pretty fast (20 km/s) and had a pretty steep angle of impact.

So a colony drop should have a pretty big crater, but not 150+ km large. But it would probably cause a lot of climate effects and a fuckton of toxic materials sent into the atmosphere.

i wanna see what UC 0300 looks like

what is the far future of gundam's far future? what does amuro think sci fi looks like?

Isn't that Reconquista in G? Or is that even furtherer into the far future?

how did qatre know trowa got his memory back

how did dorothy know qatre was behind the gundams' tactics

this show is such a clown fiesta

Wing woulda been a lot better if they'd thrown out the Zero system stuff and made Heero, Quatre, Zechs and Dorothy in newtypes or something.

Is there more to G-Reco than the movies, or is it like a 0079 thing where the movies are just a streamlined/trimmed down version of a show?

Yeah I meant that Earth should remove itself even mpre from the Earth. They clearly arent hurting for material with all the sides rhey were able to build.

Now that I'm thinking of it... is Pluto still a planet in this timeline?

I think it's generally held that a fusion reactor that burst would make a big explosion that was slightly radioactive but it would be like a gas tank blowing up, not a nuclear bomb. Like you certainly would want to avoid it in a space colony because you could cause some serious issues, but it isn't an atomic weapon.

Hell, even a nuclear reactor melting down wouldn't create a nuclear explosion.

Of course, Minovsky physics means "who knows"

From what I recall of Battletech discussions on the same subject, cracking a fusion reactor would most likely release a cloud of radioactive steam. Not good for the local plants, animals, or humans in the immediate vicinity, but it wouldn't cause anywhere near the physical damage an actual nuke would.

isn't "the gundam fights are barely better than actual war" a plot point of the show, Shenanigans are just par for the course

the planet turning into a karate robot free-for-all every 4 years is probably not great for people unrelated to karate robots

There's literally an entire episode that spells that out

You don't even have to go back that far. Look up what Russian conscripts have been up to in Ukraine and you'll see the same thing, even as they're being treated like absolute garbage by their high command.

Moving back to lighter instances of massive war crimes, I'm curious what kind of structure Witch from Mercury's protagonist group will have. The outfit on the poster looks like it could be military, suggesting a classic UC style "protagonists in one army against another army", but we've gotten a wide variety of setups before, with informal militias in Victory and Turn A, small independent factions in late CE, rogue terrorists in Wing and 00, and a PMC in Iron Blooded Orphans. Different structures mean different story possibilities, so it'll be interesting to see how things play out.

(Still weird that Tekkadan is one of the most disciplined Gundam factions.)

Judging by your examples, we're due for another PMC.

So, 00 season two question: Did they ever explain how Marina and the orphans' song keeps getting out and being heard? The show explained why it's proliferating, but not how a performance in the middle of a valley somehow got heard by multiple aircraft and then somehow wartorn civilians.

I'm approaching the end of season two, and it feels like it has that classic problem where it tries to do too many ideas at once, and so fails to give any of them the full time they might need. Some of it happens to work (I like Maria/Soma's deal, and Louise is ultimately finding a landing that works), and a lot of it happens to... not.

The song was heard because quantum.
