Name three flicks and two blockbusters that have that. Bonus points name one ps2 game and sega Saturn game that has this.

For me it's
>gas giant is habitable

Space whales/creatures/whatever that swim through space.

Space odyssey 2001, space balls, Star Wars the clone wars. Gravity and interstellar. Rogue galaxy and twilight sparkle saga. Easy.

(you)

Clone wars isn’t a flick but nice try.

God, all that shit just gets me really excited. Like for all we know, there might be more potentially habitable planets relatively near us that we don't even know about yet, or even exomoons.

This is why I can't fucking wait for the JWST to get launched even though I know everyone hates it. I just want to know what's out there already. Especially about whatever's going on over in Alpha Centauri. There's like a 75% chance of finding a habitable planet in that star system already, those are fucking great chances considering the vast, unforgiving nature of space.

Also good to hear that the Mars 2020 rover is still on and unfortunate to hear about JWST being delayed again. I do hope that thing launches next year although I am aware there are other telescopes being developed that should make some major discoveries in the next 5 years.

>space opera
>habitable planets are one giant climate instead of a variation of different climates
Fucking basedwriting

>75% chance
Aren't you quite the optimist

There was the movie pilot to the series, but I don’t recall where that took place.

Space colonies and everyone using impractical means of warfare

Other people played twilight sparkle saga?

Second; this is true. Also for OP. I like mono-planets. Like desert plants, or ice planets, or jungle planets, and so on.

hello? base apartment?

but user you said habitable planet, not just Earth shape and distance :(

The whole planet is clear blue water and beaches

They didn’t land on a gas giant moon in rogue galaxy they flew into the gas planet itself to land.

Based.

I don't know about the four tits part, but I'm definitely into green space chicks

>You never see it on screen

Don't we see the gas giant once in ROTJ? Not in space, but from the surface of the Endor moon.

>However, a reanalysis of the data published in April 2019 concluded that the exomoon was probably the result of an artifact in the data reduction and likely does not exist.[4]

Uh oh

I don't explicitly remember, but it might have been special editioned in.

It was a blockbuster not a flick

>Why would you ever willingly get trapped in a gravity well ever again.

Because your bones become jell-o and you eventually die if there is no gravity.

>Space warfare in television, film, and vidya is always bullshit, but it's cool bullshit so everyone is willing to stretch the suspension of disbelief.
It's pretty good in The Expanse

Have you seen it? Its very much a B movie.

Based but ultimately wrong in all fronts. Most of those are popcorn movies not flicks or blockbuster.

Well that's a bummer, but like I said in the other thread the datasets for keppler are still being poured over, and we've barely scratched the surface of TESS's data, and it's still at the beginning of its operational lifespan.
It's very likely that in the next generation or two of space telescopes that we'll be able to directly image exoplanets.
Once space x gets the starship operational launch costs will be so low that you're only going to be limited by what you can fit into the cowling.

What's the difference between a popcorn movie and a blockbuster. I have them as the same thing.

New fetish.
Popcorn flicks have no soul but are enjoyable.

>Well that's a bummer, but like I said in the other thread the datasets for keppler are still being poured over, and we've barely scratched the surface of TESS's data, and it's still at the beginning of its operational lifespan.
Right. Hopefully there's a gold mine of good, possibly even relevant stuff there of habitable exoplanets and maybe even exomoons.

>It's very likely that in the next generation or two of space telescopes that we'll be able to directly image exoplanets.
God, I fucking hope

>Once space x gets the starship operational launch costs will be so low that you're only going to be limited by what you can fit into the cowling.
Speaking of THAT, I really fucking hope Musk actually succeeds with that. And honestly if he does, I think it'll be a few years later than what he actually thinks.

Simulating gravity is trivial once your structure gets over a certain size.
Also there isn't a lot of information about long term effects of partial gravity, so people might be able to adjust just fine in a fraction of the gravity, which would let you build bigger habitats that spin even slower.
Over a long enough time line biotech and good ol' natural selection could possibly make some problems of microgravity moot. That's getting a bit more speculative.
But, the more individual self contained space habitats you have, the faster you're going to encourage speciation among the human animal.

>Alien has 3 tits

Its available to the public, and they encourage people to sift through it themselves and report anything interesting because there is just so much of it.

>space crew has a scientist thats black

First for Stargate

Interstellar empires dont live on planets. It would be like modern technological humans living in a tree. You break your tree or planet/moon/asteroid into its components and craft a dwelling appropriate to you needs from in.

Babylon 5 is the greatest western space kino of all time.

You'd have some neoluddites that would want to "return to their roots" or maybe a culture terraforming a planet like you would tend a garden. Bansai planets could one day be a hobby horse for the ultra rich with virtual immortality.
But you're absolutely right, there is so much more accessible resources in orbit than the crust of a planet. You don't have to start cracking planets unless you're building dyson spheres.

>Jupiter and Saturn both have moons that are bigger than planets
this isn't remotely true, the largest moon Ganymede isn't bigger than any actual planet in the solar system, dwarf planets don't count

Gobbling up rocky planets is probably the last thing you do even after disassembling gas giants and star lifting heavier than hydrogen elements out of the sun itself. people vastly underestimate the resources needed to terraform a planet in the conventional sense. I've seen the numbers go up to having to use the contents of both the Kepler and Asteroid belts and significant chunks of the gas giants moons.

For me, its O'Neill cylanders and Ringworlds.

Gas giant Moons worlds are cool too though.

God I was born too early.

So does Valerian and a thousand planets get a pass? Or no?

Yavin 4 in ANH was the moon of a gas giant as well.

I'd watch an adaptation of Algebraist if they cut all the childish nonsense about Luciferus.

That movie will never get a pass

Wasn't this in the last scene in Interstellar?

it's got that bitch with the negative tits in it so no
