Hi peeps!
I wasn't planning on uploading this week. We're prepping for a big trip away in january and I like to make sure that all the uploads keep running through january :) BUT I was like... I kinda still want to upload :D. So here is one that was in my backpocket and I really enjoyed! I hope you enjoy it too ^^ Happy Holidays!

Mary, since you've recently discovered your sweet-tooth for space exploration movies, you would enjoy: "Sunshine" (2007) "Moon" (2009) Also there is a worthy sequel to “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968) called “2010” (1984) that fits this sci-fi type. Of course you would have to see “2001” first, though the whole movie doesn’t take place in space. Yet, it is a must-see for any fan of the sci-fi genre. You wouldn’t believe the visual effects they achieved for 1968.

Thank you for your upload, Mary. I love this film. Please have a safe and enjoyable trip. Happy New Year!

Moon is so underrated. Stellar (pun intended) performance by Chris Rockwell.

Really glad you let this one out ya back pocket. I've had The Martian on my still to watch list since November. Although, when I saw this I had to make time this evening to watch it again. They had to create an entirely different method of shooting a movie to make this film. I think the visuals prove it was well worth the effort. What a story about the perseverance one needs in the face of what life can throw at you and the courage to still keep going. Just what I needed to see again today. Looking forward to other pocketed treats in the future.

Definitely hope to see Speed at some point. Great movie.

Hi Mary, I just joined today, yay!! = )

A couple of space-related movies you might enjoy are CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND and CONTACT. They were made about 20 years apart, but they actually complement each other well. They both try to take a somewhat realistic look at how humankind might react if we actually discovered evidence of alien life. They both mostly take place on Earth, but I think they still fit the bill. :)

hi Mary! Thank you. I have always enjoyed your reactions. 2 days before month end is not the best time to join but oh well, ho ho ho...

I forgot how nerve racking this movie was. Great reaction Mary!

Hello again Mary, I just finished watching your Airplane reaction, lol. I wrote a comment explaining one of the references about the 2nd cup coffee lol, ah well maybe this comment will just get lost 😅 😶

Spot on with the "womb like" comparison. It was an intentional metaphor for a rebirth for her character. The space suit tether even looks like the umbilical cord in that scene if you look closely. All of the tethers throughout the movie were metaphorical for her needing to let go as well. Amazing reaction as always. Your emotion always brings mine out as if I were watching the movie for the first time all over again. Thank you for that. Would love to see your reaction to the film Arrival. I think you would get a lot out of that one as well.

When Stone said she would die today, my first thought is that's not what we tell the god of death.

Unfortunately it is more realistic than much of humanity would care to admit. There is a lot of junk, and it is concentrated in certain "bands of altitude" around the earth. And the stats about debris and how much damage it can do in reality is actually worse. You only need tiny fragments to destroy a spacecraft completely, or at least render it space junk itself. Of course the chances of humans being up there to witness the calamity... that is the part where poetic licence has been taken. Also, the fragments have been made macroscopic for effect.

As of now, it's really not that big of a problem and plenty of debris is going to decay anyway - solar events are a way bigger, nigh insurmountable problem in the bigger picture. We imagine the junk cluttering the entire sphere around our planet, but it's such a narrow band and we can account for it when launching satellites - it's virtually a non-issue for the moment. The debris that gets knocked away in rare collision events is never going to matter, the one that is being launched in alignment is still very much localized and avoidable. It is something that might change (provided we don't find methods to mitigate the issue, which I am fairly certain we will at some point), just by virtue of rapidly growing LEO traffic, and it sure is something that should be exhaustively researched - and I don't mind artistic license in movies at all - but no, it is not awfully realistic... getting hit by debris, having all the setpieces connect so neatly, and all kinds of other things, like the extinguisher scene, which is a virtually impossible feat. I like and defend the movie, but it's certainly not a predictor of what we're dealing with right now.

Such a good flick, always am thinking of it as a decent B-movie but then realize how well it is put together. True entertainment.

I mean, I don't want to incite panic by any means (and I follow the advice of the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy here, which just happens to be another movie / TV show worthy of Mary's reaction perhaps.) This is all just a possibility, maybe not even a likely one. We definitely aren't at a crisis point, or even a tipping point, just yet. But the situation does strike me personally as being a bit like a replay of the politics versus science that have played out in VERY slow motion since the first greenhouse effect warnings we got in the 70s and 80s, and we still are making that one worse today. Indeed, Kessler's original warning of the possibility of a debris cascade like that depicted in Gravity was in 1978, so maybe his timebomb is already ticking as well, just a bit more slowly? For example, I don't think we get to declare victory over this remote possibility just because the greenhouse will kill us all first. Anyway, to add some actual facts to contrast my tongue-in-cheek doomsaying, and depict the actual problem as it could develop: https://spacenews.com/will-megaconstellations-cause-a-dangerous-spike-in-orbital-debris/
