Was this supposed to be the first Space Hotel? Because a 1G space station for what is essentially the trial run of space tourism is a... bold bet.

Yeah I would have started with a zero G hotel where you get to spend like a week in space, but that could end badly if people take poorly to space. having a part of the hotel that has gravity is for the bast just in case someone can't handle zero g. Otherwise you have to send a shuttle back to Earth and waste a bunch of money.

If I had to guess the first artificial gravity stations will rotate as a whole piece instead of on a hub and will only rotate below 1 G for limited periods of time

Going straight to 1G also seems a bit extra, like why not start with something lower but still workable, like 0.5G?

I think you would want to be as close to 1G as possible for people not used to space flight. Mostly because the guests aren't going to realize that it things will work differently in space. So in .5G, they will be tossing things across the room, pouring drinks and spilling everywhere because the liquid doesn't pour the same way, and then they will stand up from a chair with the same force they've always used and launch themselves into the ceiling at worst, or get startled and fall down at best.

And while the space hotel concept may be a failure, perhaps Helios can find some other space business. The trailer shows the Helios station modified into a spaceship, clearly participating in the Mars race.

Yea a lowerG space hotel would be part of the novelty. They’d advertise it and remind you constantly of the lower G. Build a basketball court so guests can have fun doing sick dunks, stuff like that.

The gravity you get depends on the radius of rotation and the RPM. So you would be able to make a ring station rotating for 1 g in the man habitat area (they mentioned in the podcast the station is indeed too small for this to be done comfortably, imagine double the size or more) and then you could have facilities further up the spokes at various different gravities depending on how far they are from the center. A whole second ring at .5 or little pods at various gravity for space sports or whatever.

You know she's going to hook him into joining Helios and go on the mission as well, forming the first poly couple in space with Ed and Danny. The Outpost scene with Ed and Dani was brutal though. gently caress you, old white man. Good episode, moves things forward and I'm just waiting for the November surprise to gently caress things up.

So over the last couple weeks I've tried to get into this show, but it has been rough going. The only reason I'm still kinda watching it is I've got no other decent shows going right now. S1 episodes seem like a ratio of 20% cool stuff to 80% painfully banal personal melodrama. I find myself fastforwarding through scenes and then skipping entire episodes and not feeling like I missed much. Yet I keep hearing good things about this show. Does S2 and 3 improve this ratio significantly or is this show just not for me?

It's a serialized show, you're not going to improve it by not seeing the story.

Man, gently caress Molly. She was way out of line and the reason you have committees is to prevent stupid poo poo like “the old geezers club” from forming or deciding that it’s a great idea to turn the first mission to Mars into a two year “take your daughter to work day”. poo poo is too serious now for cowboys and loose cannons. She couldn’t loving wait a few days to talk to Margo about what was going on, no, she “knew” better and she reaped what she sowed.

So my read on this was it's the show working in the very real argument that was leveled at NASA in the 80s by a lot of the original guys, when NASA started to churn out missions and started picking people by committee. The old guys felt like NASAs new process picked candidates less for qualification reasons and more "This will get NASA more attention and good PR!". It really took off post-Challenger when it was argued that because NASA really wanted their PR flight to go ahead (because McAuliffe was selected by that new process rather than the old process), it led to lapses in other areas, like not taking warnings seriously about O-Rings being dangerous at certain temperatures. I personally think it was 60% of the old school bitching because their way wasn't king anymore, and 40% "well, they do have a point", since NASA revamped their selection process shortly thereafter among other things. Riding Rockets by Mike Mullane goes into it a bit more. Kloaked00 posted:When Bragg mentioned to Ellen he's been a supporter since "the tank", they have to mean she pulled off the Dukakis right? I think he's referring to when she and Deke flew their rescue mission to the Moon, and she leaps for the fuel tank when they're trying to dock with Ed.
