For one thing Earth was shown, the departure of the ISV Venturestar was shown (Pic related), Grace's school was show; along with the incident that caused resentment between the two factions (They shot up neyney's sister); along with a bitchfight between the Colonel and the "look at all that cheddar" person.

Wait wait what.

For one thing, isn't the top velocity for a 150km-long Orion .05c? Also, a constant one gravity of acceleration for a month?

I'm just waiting for Cameron to stop being a greedy fuck. He should've stuck to the original script, it would've made the movie better, but the budget would've destabilized the world's economy.

Pic is the Venturestar accelerating away.

Not entirely necessary.

I could just quote The Lady Who Sailed The Soul for a change.

Voyager has reached the border with interstellar space.

Godammit. Jesus Christ, /sci/, Jesus Christ, it's an interstellar probe now. Jesus Christ, just, just -- It's unbelievable.

I'd rather have the Moon strip-mined by robots with molecular assemblers mounted on top. Think about it: We would trade acid rain, climate change, Sagan knows how many endangered species... All for a scar of silicon on the Moon's surface. The Asimov Array would solve our energy needs for the next 500 years and then some, it's enough power to give everyone free energy and extra, enough power, even, to launch starships.

Also, I'm going to need YOU sir to help load the 40-ton water bags on the ion-drive and nuclear-drive spacecraft. Water is the ultimate propellant, microwave-heated water or nuclear salt-water rockets, whatever works.
