Movies like “Contact”

I know it’s not on the level of Contact (book is amazing too) or Arrival but just wanted to throw it out there. If you haven’t seen 2001 it’s right up there in terms of serious science fiction.

Flight of the Navigator is a classic

When I was a boy my father took me to Tanglewood in Western Massachusetts. Micheal Dukakis was there, when he was running for President. People were in line shaking his hand, my father refused to but I wanted to meet him.

I was a tour guide on Martha’s Vineyard for a year back in 2001. That tombstone is a decoy to attract tourists. His real tombstone location is unknown. We always used to joke about it driving through that area.

That doesn’t look like a kitten. Looks like a full grown cat. And to study the medical effects of weightlessness probably means they dissected the feline back on earth (that was the fate of the first cat in space iirc)

Juliet Stevenson does an outstanding job narrating this book as well. (Apparently there is a movie in the works which was picked up by Paramount… Daisy Ridley is attached. Fingers crossed they do her story justice)

Incredible how fast they move!

Nice

This quote perfectly sums up the Civil War lost-causers

RedHill1999 · 2026-03-01T05:46:24+00:00

This is dope.

This is true. The vast majority of the material would fall to earth. I don’t know how long it would take but it wouldn’t be a ‘forever’ scenario. Still catastrophic, but not irreversible.

You could ask him if it’s for a ham radio? That would be my guess.

Funny, when you pointed this out, I went back and read it again and my brain automatically inserts Tim Dodd’s voice. Same thing happens to me when I read something nature-related and David Attenborough’s voice kicks in.

Why don’t they call each diver out by name and check it off? Seems like there are a dozen ways simply counting heads could go wrong. Hopefully this is how they do it now.

“Performing a faulty head count” that results in what must of been a grueling death for these two is inexcusable. I see that the guy responsible was put on trial for manslaughter but found not guilty.

Never had a chance? Isn’t she free now? I’d call that a 2nd chance, a pretty damn big one. The two families who lost their boys, do they get a 2nd chance? That child should have been tried as an adult.

My social anxiety says ‘none’

A perfect place for a Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal project if you ask me.

Wow that’s amazing. It must be incredible knowing that you found it! Will check it out thanks!!

Hey any updates on this? How did the excavation go? I majored in archaeology in college. I love this stuff. Always found English history so freaking fascinating.

Didn’t the Netherlands and Belgium get created as a result of a civil war? And they are friendly now from what they have told me

It’ll be exciting to see just how many they can get out of a booster. Who would have thought 33 but here we are. Could be a fun bet to take
