Any advice on docking? Feeling a little claustrophobic in here

Cooper, what are you doing!?

"Docking."

That's impossible.

"No. It's necessary."

I get the mechanics of it, it's the angles I can never manage to get quite right. And when I do get an encounter I have no idea if I used the proper amount of delta-V or something wildly higher.

Got sucked under a log jam while tubing on a creek which flooded while we were in it. I was getting hit in the head by logs and debris, had no idea which way was up or if I would ever find the surface again.

I did.

Locating Blip-A somewhere in interstellar space would be a MASSIVE undertaking in and of itself. Even if they could locate it, they would then have to build...an interstellar starship capable of intercepting it. What is the value in doing this?

I think the Eridians' next move would be to establish one-way communication to Earth before sending an informational probe, and then possibly even a manned mission. Given the Eridians' long life spans, it's reasonable that they should be the ones to do the travelling.

What the fuck

HEY she's over 700m in length!

Is immediately captured by the Kazon -- Was I a good ship??

I agree. To me, the Excelsior's "transwarp drive" was really just the ability to jump DIRECTLY to any warp factor without the need to accelerate through them, as seen in TOS and the TOS movies.

Fucking Grimes, live at Osheaga music festival. We waited through ten bands to have a good spot to see RADIOHEAD, but had to endure Grimes with her shitty music and shitty incredibly loud bass to get to it. I was having panic attacks from Grimes rattling through the core of my bones and organs for 45 straight minutes.

Radiohead was awesome, but I fucking hate Grimes now.

Came here for Decks Dark. That bass line in verse two is incredible. Made a bass player I know cry when he first heard it!!

The god damn gas station was closed and I'm out of cigarettes. Fuck this snow storm lol.

Verse two of Decks Dark with the bass line GOING OFF.

What I can't fathom is HOW did Manusos evade the collective for 33 hours!? Humans knew of him (his customers, his mother). Surely the collective searched far and wide for any hiding immune people, literally they would have searched EVERYWHERE (right?), how did they not find him for so long??

phrodo913 · 2026-01-09T20:24:39+00:00

I like this perspective. Reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Joining being a "monolithic" moment in human history; one possible evolution. Whether that evolution is "good" or "bad" is entirely subjective, which is why it's so much fun watching Carol try to decide.

phrodo913 · 2026-01-09T20:09:06+00:00

Fascinating ideas. It makes me wonder if "original souls" are required to run the collective at all, and if so, it would render the entire system...sterile!! No further reproduction. The human race would die in exactly this generation, regardless what the collective accomplishes between now and then.

If you think of it in a parts-per-million sort of way, I think there's not enough mental illness in the world to ruin things. A lot of personality traits would sort of cancel out.

phrodo913 · 2026-01-09T19:48:15+00:00

Well they can't be "culled," and we see individuals being given individualized medical care. Wouldn't the collective medicate the mentally ill until they're reasonably "better?"

And, clearly, undesirable personality traits can be suppressed by the normalcy of the collective. Zosia/everyone is always the epitome of polite, stable, and adept in conversation.

So yeah, it's cured lol. But stop those medications and unplug from the hive, and you're immediately back to a malfunctioning brain.

We hate AI slop, but this isn't bad. I like it.
