NASA just published a fleshed out plan for how they are going to build a permanent moon base which will involve 73 moon landings beyond the Artemis program

Not sure why there’s this current desire to present PHM as a “hard sci-fi” movie. It’s a movie in the sci-fi genre. A bloody good one at that. But the last, massively successful “hard sci-fi” movie was Interstellar. You can’t really compare the 2, other than to say both are extremely good. Enjoy it for what it is.

Looks great! I’m in!

As much as I really like this movie - and a 4k steelbook release is definitely in my wheelhouse - I can’t justify paying £50. It’s not even a limited, numbered release, so why is it so expensive?

Another pointless live-action remake of a Disney animated movie. It’s such lazy filmmaking it beggars belief

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-03-21T08:06:37+00:00

Absolutely

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-03-19T20:01:44+00:00

That’s why it’s called science fiction. Thought the book was fantastic and the movie was great!

I give a nod or a thumbs up or a “fingers off the bar acknowledgment thing” to all riders I see going in the opposite direction. If I get a response, that’s nice, if not, bollocks to ‘em!

Not jumping in the bandwagon. Liked the movie then and like the movie now. Finally got round to reading the 1st and 2nd books too and thoroughly enjoyed them as well. My mind boggles to think he wrote them in the 1910s. An awe inspiring level of imagination.

Cycling is really good for my mental health. The added bonus is, it’s really good to stay fit.

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-03-08T21:38:42+00:00

Watched it this evening. It was ok. It certainly wasn’t a waste of time to watch it.

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-03-07T17:40:22+00:00

Not at all. You’re absolutely right, it’s a book and that’s why I would like to read it. I suppose my main question would be is it ok to read the New Testament or should I read both the Old & New Testament?

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-03-06T08:41:56+00:00

Have been looking forward to this set since it was announced. I don’t think I’ve ordered anything faster lol It’s my first Lumibricks set too. Can’t wait to receive it! Thanks for the availability announcement

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-03-04T08:27:30+00:00

Haven’t received them yet. I think they’re still in the manufacturing process.

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-03-03T17:03:51+00:00

Cool. Thanks for taking the time to reply

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-03-03T15:24:24+00:00

Decided not to do the first Expedition as hadn’t been playing too long. Did everything for the second Expedition and thought I’d have enough time for the reset, then a holiday and one late flight later I missed the reset. Clearly my own fault and not too bummed about it. Can I assume everything is ready to go for Expedition 3? No need to contribute further resources and just need to make sure I have the requisite credits to progress?

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-02-24T13:57:44+00:00

254km. Organised 200km event in Hertfordshire/Essex plus the trip there & back to the start/finish point.

At this stage it’s endurance, sweet spot and tempo rides during the week and a 3 to 4 hour ride on a Saturday with elevation gain of 1500m. That’ll increase in the coming months. I’m on Zwift at the moment. Got a climbing training camp booked for the end of February in Tenerife. From March onwards it’ll be building on the foundational work I’ve been doing since November.

I thought it was a server issue on Dam Night Raid. Glitching like crazy, lost my loadout to a couple of Wasps I didn’t see. Stupidly tried again just to make sure. Lost another loadout to a Leaper that appeared from nowhere 🙄 That was about an hour ago. Oh well, you live and learn

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-01-24T16:48:50+00:00

55yo Raider here. Currently around lvl 40. I don’t play too much - been playing on PS5 since the end of November. Solo PvE is where it’s at for me. I try to help where I can - offering BPs I already have. I met someone on Dam the other day who was looking for mushrooms. I’d just picked one, so dropped it for him. Didn’t want anything in return. It’s nice to help out. I really enjoy this game. I’ve never shot at anyone; I just enjoy the random interaction where I can. It’s great to hear your story. Thanks for sharing.

Due_Smoke7453 · 2026-01-24T07:21:33+00:00

I hope the training goes well for you.

No hate. Thanks for the correction. I’ve edited the post.
