xxp what is this, amateur hour?

xp the Moonraker space marine fight is so bad (although it gets better once they get into the space station). But outside it reminds me of Spock's comment that Khan's tactics "indicate two dimensional thinking".
So if we're going to have Flash Gordon, I nominate Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

this article suggests space mining could become a growing industry in the coming decades which might inspire a wave of dour space realism that portrays a completely expendable precariat workforce as opposed to the heroic astronaut/cosmonauts of space realism past.

"How hard can hard it be? Aim the drill at the ground and turn it on." loool

completely expendable precariat workforce

outland has this despite basically being high noon in space

xp

it's been many many years since i saw it but iirc outland is on the more realistic end of sci-fi movies.

I can remember watching Outland about 30 years ago and being dead impressed, but can't remember much about the plot - but remember thinking it looked pretty great.
