gimme the GOD drat candy posted:is mars terraformed in st? According to Memory Alpha Mars was the first planet to be terraformed by Humans. Colonists originally dwelt within domed cities while the verteron array was used to redirect comets and asteroids towards the Red Planet to impact in the polar caps. This freed carbon dioxide and released it into the atmosphere, increasing the planet's temperature and water volume. By 2155, conditions in the lowlands of the Martian surface were sufficiently altered to allow Humans to roam freely without heavy environmental suits, though one would still have to dress warmly for the near-arctic surface temperatures.

I say hollow the planet out, and just build massive underground cities. I would really like to see someone sciency try and figure out how much energy it would take to jumpstart Mar's core again.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:is mars terraformed in st? Yeah, that's why the robots were able to set the atmosphere on fire. Edit: as pointed out above, Mars has a negligible magnetosphere IRL and won't hold any kind of atmosphere of any kind because solar winds just blow it away. mango sentinel fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Nov 27, 2020 |

Unless there are other issues you're referring to

Unless there are other issues you're referring to No, you're right, I read a study on that once and they said the loss rate would be on the scale of tens of thousands of years to be serious. Fast on a cosmic timescale, but well within maintenance ability of anyone capable of terraforming in the first place. The one potential drawback would be if civilization collapsed, you might not be able to build back in time.

Fabulousity posted:Haven't seen TMP in like over a decade. Does the director's cut change things up a lot? The "Director's Cut" DVD was considered by most to be a significant improvement. It improved the pacing but it was done carefully enough so that I don't think it hurt the overall story. I liked the original cut, but YMMV. The biggest drawback with the director's cut is that many of the bridge and computer sound effects were changed or removed, and it just grates on me when I remember what it's supposed to sound like. For example, they completely removed the synthesized computer voice that said things like INTRUDER and RED ALERT. Edit: note that AFAIK, the Director's Cut is only on DVD at present. The Blu Ray version of TMP is the theatrical cut. Edit 2: Just was looking at Amazon, and saw that they have a Blu Ray collection of all 6 TOS movies currently priced at $9.99, but I can't really tell what region it's for (or if it is region free).

Unless there are other issues you're referring to I always liked how Cowboy Bebop showed Mars, where everyone lived inside an open air colony surrounded by gigantic retaining walls that kept most of the atmosphere from bleeding out.

Did they know TNG season 7 would be the last one? Cause they're sure going all out on weird plot ideas. Ghosts, in my warp nacelle? (come to think of it, the idea of All Good Things would indicate that they did, I suppose.)

It's a goddamn miracle anyone survived from the Saratoga at Wolf 359, given it was the Saratoga and a Miranda. Presumably the presence of The Sisko is what allowed anyone to make it off at all.

It's because they use forced (and inexplicable) character conflict (and a bucket of Michael's tears) to try and somehow produce drama/tension. When Disco is bad, it's like giving a toddler random story/character tropes/devices and expecting Citizen Kane to magically appear. When Disco is "good", the toddler managed to make Scary Movie XXI. Also, Burnham (imo) is nearly unwatchable now since she never stops crying or being a loving annoying rear end in a top hat. It's like Caillou in space.

I don't think she managed to have one scene this episode where her head wasn't tilted dramatically at a silly angle.

Hi friends, I have never watched TNG before or really any Star Trek for that matter but just started watching catching random episodes on Pluto.tv and I think this show might be kinda good! I went back and started watching from the beginning on Netflix, I particularly liked the episode where everyone got covid if covid just made you super horny. Picard grunts suggestively at one point when he realizes he's been infected and it was really loving funny.
