Why do so few /m/ related stories take place around Saturn? Nearly everything is the Moon, Mars, or Jupiter.
What's there? Saturn has lots of Helium-3 IRL which is super useful for nuclear reactions, but so does Juptier which is way closer to us.
>>22836712All of Saturn's moons have ice which means they could be terraformed if we bothered to put in the ridiculous amount of effort that would be needed to do so.But more importantly. it has RINGS
>>22836712>What's there?Radam from Tekkaman Blade, a Great White Spot, a hexagon north pole, spooky wind sounds a Fiend on Titan, He got the sex crazed robot, a monster from Mirrorman, Ultra seven's reminder he got roflstomped by Tyrant, you can find shit there.
>>22836718>Hector the sex crazed robot
>>22836702Last time we went to Saturn we all got distracted playing video games. It was fun but bad for productivity.
Duel slide thread>>22836698>>22836699
There's that game, Observation, which if I remember right plays out like 2001 A Space Odyssey if it were a weird ass cosmic horror acid trip.
>>22836702I guess because they're closer to Earth. Though, I don't know of any /m/ stuff involving Venus.
>>22836816A lot of older sci fi had Venus as a setting. While not quite as popular as John Carter was ERB had a whole series about Venus.
>>22836702> WhyYou know damn well why.
>>22836886
>>22836819Perelandria (the second book in CS Lewis's Space Trilogy) took place on Venus.
Also this movie
>>22836926
>>22836702I was wondering why I've seen so much about Saturn lately and apparently there's a black magic cube on its north pole
>>22837043Oh no, it's a battletech map.
>>22836702saturn's rings are expensive to depictthat's literally all there isthat's why 2001 swapped Saturn to Jupiter, that's why DYRL and Silent Running flexed on it
>>22837043That shits scary
>>22837086Nah, that's just where the space bees are.
>>22837086You should look at Jupiter's.
>>22836702Because the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter have the Sailor senshis.
OP's pic title is vastly misleading. Saturn is in no way even close to being a failed star. Saturn is barely over a third of Jupiter's mass; taken together, Jupiter and all of the inferior planets, asteroids, and debris make up one fifth of one percent of the Sol system's mass. The rest is Sol itself.Shame on /m/ for not mentioning the Battle of Saturn from "Uchuu Senkan Yamato," in Japan (and by extension, Earth) was saved from the invasion fleet by the divine wind. Never fire a giant heat blast in an ice ring unless you're prepared for really bad weather. Pictured: remade USY, where Saturn's rings are not so much of a problem as in the original.
>>22837086People use that to cast spells. Or at least that's what /x/ tells me and I trust /x/
>>22836702The rings make for a funsetting to fly around in. Go play Delta V: Rings of Saturn
>>22836702Has anyone ever make a story colonialism Kepler-452b?
There is only one retard that believes in astrology in this board.
>>22837108So, does every other planet.
>>22837108>Because the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter have the Sailor senshi-tachiFTFY.
>>22837108>>22838309>Because the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter have the Sailor senshi-tachiWell, Saturn does too and she is one of the strongest, so...
>>22838311Do Sailor Scouts have a power level scale?
>>22838353No but you can extrapolate decently easy based on their actions. FIRE SOUL.
>>22838361So Mars is at the top?
>>22837677Because you'd literally need FTL to make that work, dum-dum. Like Alpha Centauri is the only star system feasibly within humanity's reach given a few decades/centuries of progress,.
>>22836702If getting power resources is the topic , then Jupiter is both closer and bigger, and Saturn's rings are such big obstructions (they are made of several kinds of debris) before even reaching the surface of the planet itself (though resources can also be gathered from the rings instead but the planet has obviously more of that)
>>22838377I'm not about to get into a ranking chart but during that final showdown with the 5 enemies both her and Jupiter managed to take out two each with Venus taking out the remaining. During the start of R when they were depowered, forgot their past as sailors and were attacked by an enemy her and Jupiter's reaction was to kick it's ass instead of running away. Also she had shinto shrine maiden exorcist powers before becoming Mars.
>>22838445Imagine a high speed fight inside Saturn's rings thoughOr I guess the asteroid belt would have the same "oh fuck don't crash" feel but Saturn's rings are a much cooler backdrop
>>22838595>Imagine a high speed fight inside Saturn's rings thoughHow quickly we forgot the pleiades.
>>22836819>>22836952There's a lot out there. Bradbury did a bunch of stories about Venus, so did Leigh Brackett.The problem is that most of those stories assumed Venus was a rainy, watery planet, which meant they got extra blown out in the late 50s when we found out Venus was actually a dry, miserable hellscape. Mars suffered the loss of it's canals, but most Martian pulp stories had it as a dry, dying planet so you can still kind of work with it. You only need a bit more suspension of disbelief, and Mars has enough cultural cachet people are more willing to go along with it.But Venus couldn't take the loss of it's oceans.
>>22838445IIRC Saturn's a better choice for atmospheric mining because it's less compact than Jupiter, so you can get to an appreciable gas density without going too deep into the gravity well like you'd have to with Jupiter. Saves enormously on your own fuel/propellant even if you have to go a bit further (which is a complicated question itself, considering orbital mechanics).
>>22836819>>22836816Pretty sure G-Reco and that IBO mobile game had Venus involved.
>>22838852Venus was a big deal in Reco, yes.
>>22838609That was a cool show. It's my favourite magical girl show -- even better than Nanoha and Symphogear.
>>22838871It was nice. I miss it.
>>22838353>Do Sailor Scouts have a power level scale?Not exactly but as this other based anon posted here >>22838361 her Fire Soul destroyed two of the DD girls. Only Makoto did the same and both Sailor Mars and Jupiter have finished enemies on their own without even needing Moon's help. So yes, you can easily consider Rei Hino among the strongest Senshi.
And also adding to that and why for me Sailor Mars is actually the strongest, it's because while Makoto and Haruka can perhaps dish the same amount of raw power, Rei Hino is also the strategist of the group – Ami might be the data analyst if you will, but the one who often takes a leading role and decides on terrain, hand on what must be do is for the most part Sailor Mars. Even in later seasons she gets some epic scenes like when she one-shot the Nehelenia clone and even the outers recognised her skills and power. Plus, her precognition abilities saved the team one too many times and that's something she can use even in her civilian form, she's always ready to act and to fight if need be. She's just the best.
>>22838484That scene was epic. Seeing Rei Hino reading to fight side by side with Mako against the Cardian without even being able to Henshin into Sailor Mars and Jupiter respectively, truly speaks volumes of what kind of women they are. Really born fighters.
>>22837043Ah yes. Sol's Stargate. As for Jupiter...best not to ask.
>>22839375What a waste of good rendering.
>>22839375Jupiter Ascending was an awesome movie. Critics are morons a d bought off by Rotten Tomatoes. Not even joking.
>>22839384>>22839390Potential, yes. The Twins wanted to make it their SW, too bad it shit the bed.
>>22837043Hello fellow planets.
>>22839401Potential is certainly something it had. Didn't fuck it up quite as hard as Valerian - ending up with something ridiculous and not just boring - but it really needed someone in the crew who could tell them "hey, no, this idea's dumb".I guess they did kind of end up making it SW.
>>22839438>but it really needed someone in the crew who could tell them "hey, no, this idea's dumb"George Lucas making Jar-Jar be like:
>>22839605Versus what>Fired over "Creative differences"
>>22839653nah nowadays, it's because they said an "oopsie" on twatter and lost their job because of it.
>>22836712Racing track rings
>>22839438>>22839605>>22839653>>22839690They originally wanted 4 movies.
>>22840796They got more than one?
>>22840796Please tell me wtf is onscreen rn?
>>22840924Second one was Jupiter quietly getting humanity up to par. Third would have been 1000 years later when humanity is in conflict with another race. Fourth would have been Jupiter realizing it was all a bad idea and should have left humanity the way it was.>>22841074From Jupiter Ascending, bounty hunters ship. Here, have the Siblings stand in Asian girl, she of the No Tits.
>>22836702Saturn you say?
>>22845400Forgot the pic (T_T)
>>22845379Interesting picture.
so what will the day be called when terrorists blow up Jupiter?
>>22845379Cute
>>22846714How would that even work when there is no solid ground?
