minus-squareSephtis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up60·22 hours agoExpanse did it amazingly imo, it also adds some realism into a otherwise very fictional story, which makes it somewhat easier to vibe with it.

minus-squarethen_three_more@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·19 hours agoThat was such a nice touch and just cost some red leds. I’m the books they spend a lot of time on the float (to expensive to burn all the time). The way the TV show got around it all was great

minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 hours agoWell, not free. Acceleration usually requires a bunch of energy. I guess if you have to do it anyway then it’s a really convenient side-effect.
