They found aliens!

The expanded mars base is a kino setting

kinoman has cancer :(

>>218999021
He certainly should by now with all the radiation they get exposed to on other planets/space

Solid first episode. New characters are good. Every season takes a while to get into the main story so curious to see how the murder leads into the free mars shit

>>218999021
oh well

>>218999021
Kinoman is a gorillion years old and is living on a planet with no magnetic shield.

This has to be the last season btw all the actual actors are decaying and their young replacements are all ass and can't carry a show.

>>218998338
Kinooooo

>>219002047
Season 6 is the last one, but most of the OG cast will not be in it I say.

Kinoman's old man makeup seems very stiff and limiting his expressiveness. As if CGI might have worked better

>>219003446
>>218999021
Solution, which is somewhat hinted at in this first episode: in this season they will discover alien life and it will grant new medical advances like anti-aging properties or cancer cures.
For dramatic reasons, at least one OG or near-OG character will not be spared and will still die, but it will benefit the others

>>218998338
You didn't mention their race

>>219002047
It's mentioned in the in-between-seasons news blurbs that Happy Valley is now covered by towers which emit radiation-shielding magnetic fields.
Though I suppose he could have been exposed to a lot of radiation before that

>>219002047
This has to be the last season

Isn't that a major aspect of the show?

>>219006681
It's just that the space scenes are expensive so there is a lot of low-budget filler and the writers are clearly left-leaning so you'll see a lot of strong women and a major gay plotline or two.

>>219006762

It's good old fashioned paid shilling, which is always out of place on this mongolian basket weaving forum, but I guess Apple has the kind of money where they spread to every possible platform.
It's an OK show and I like having it on my second screen but if you read the posts about it they make it sound like some 10/10 kino, like there is a huge divide between the apparent enthusiasm of posters in these threads and the actual quality of the show, aka advertisement.
If you look up mentions of the show in the archive literally nobody speaks about it when it's not airing, until a few weeks ago when it's suddenly 2 threads a week about how it's amazing and everybody is hyped for season 5.

>>219007935

I do not remember gore being president, I really should've re-watched season 4 before starting this

>>219010428
He was a one-termer (presumably lost to Bragg because the asteroid going to Mars would be seen as a huge failure) but he was president for all of s4. They did him claiming to have invented the internet with him claiming to have discovered the asteroid

It was kino. And every season starts with margo getting ready. They've just included aleida this time because she was her protege and they need to pass the torch because this is likely margos last season

>>219010651
right thanks I vaguely remember that, I think I might watch a recap in case I forgot any major story points

>>219010687
I think its funny margo is eating better in an american prison then she was while free in russia

>>218998338
does anyone even watch this show

>>219010766

zoomer grandson feeling directionless and not able to live up to the baldwin legacy is a kino idea. good contrast with kelly who was just ready to be ed jr from the get go

>>219010766
me

>>219011072
given that it was miles' daughter spray painting the "free mars" in the opening scene i wonder if theyre setting up for eds grandson being radicalised by his bpd arthoe gf

>>219011072
he's been under ridiculous pressure his whole life his grandfather is a legend his mom is a massive over achiever, he's 1/2 russian 1/2 american and the first kid to be born on mars

>>219011211
thats my point, im glad theyre doing something with that in an interesting way rather than just having him become the next pilot extraordinaire the minute he turns 18

>>219011224
yea so far I'm liking how this season is starting

>>219011211
He will never be able to return to Earth though.

Kelly probably could, though it'd suck for her. Ed never can either, but that's just age, grandkid is fucked outside of microgravity. The human body was not designed for existence outside our little blue rock, his kid may as well be the first of the Expanse's Belters.

>>219011373
all the important stuff is happening off world anyway, he could be the first man on titian

I dont even care all that much about the brownoids, but the Fusion thing in the show rubbed me the wrong way. its such lazy writing, clearly not done by people with actual engineering degrees.

they handwave it with "it just works!" and that they mine the helium-3 fuel from the moon, which is a completely retarded proposition if you look into the actual mechanics of it.

You'd need to heat a thousand tons of moonrock to 800 degrees to even boil off 1 gram of helium3. this shit will never be economical.
"oh the moon has more than enough fusion fuel and it will kickstart mining and space commercial enterprises" is laughable.
there's also more gold dissolved in the earth's oceans that has ever been mined in all of human history, but its a pointless number because there is no way to extract it for a profit.

this was s3 and this is where I started to accept that it is basically a sci-fi show, not an alt-hist show. the first 2 seasons were at least halfway believeable and authentic with the extended apollo program and jamestown moonbase

i talked about this in another of these threads, but apple not having a back catalogue the way a lot of the other people starting streaming services do has meant theyve had to take more risks in terms of backing series to build up a portfolio of originals. im not saying they havent churned out some slop but them actually being willing to produce shit and stick with it is a rare positive thing

>>219015926
There in universe newsreel on YouTube for the previous 4 season. Those are mandatory watching. Beyond that, you're probably okay because the two major stories are mars colonists vs earth, and exploring the outer solar system. Know that Ed is one major character and many characters are related or involved with him. The other big is Margo who is a traitor and a victim and is there to be miserable.

That should bring you up to speed.

This show is facing the same issues game of thrones did. They are losing good actors/characters over time, but not replacing them at the rate they are losing them. Combine that with a decline in writing quality and the show is just getting worse. Still, overall I’ve liked this show, despite its flaws.

I still can't get over how Wilson somehow survives that Watergate-lite scandal and manages to legalise gay marriage in the fucking 1990s. The way season 3 ended made it seem like she was fucked and her career and presidency was dead, but no, somehow she wins releection and there's virtually no explanation as to how.

>>219051698

I think it is in the extended material, where it is explained that Bush became his vice-president, replacing Bragg, and formed a political coalition with moderate wings of Republicans and Democrats.

>>219051698
i think it was handwaved away with a combination of her having a lot of appeal to fence-sitting would-be dem voters and having hw bush as her running mate to appeal to conservatives. combine that with the fact shes a real-life action hero and also crucially an attractive woman (lesbians, especially good looking ones, consistently poll better than gay men) and i dont think its impossible, if her opposition had a dukakis tank tier fuckup (did we ever find out who it was ran against her second time around?). also, she was republican, so a lot of conservatives put off by her being gay would just not vote as opposed to flip, if the dem candidate wasnt someone they liked.

all of that said, yeah i agree it seemed like she was done after her first term and a reelection would have been extremely unlikely. felt like a deus ex machina from the writers because the liked he more than anything else

>>219051698

Despite being the first president to face impeachment in over 100 years, Ellen Wilson makes a surprise comeback victory during the 1996 United States presidential election, defeating Democratic nominee Jerry Brown. Political consultant believed her seeds for her comeback was planted due to her courageous coming out, but was secured due to her handling of the bombing of Johnson Space Center. Wilson's toughest challenge against her previous vice president James Bragg in the Republican primaries. Wilson managed to win the Republican nomination when she was endorsed by George H. W. Bush, who became her running mate during the 1996 election. Wilson also managed to win the votes of moderate-conservative Democrats who believed Jerry Brown was leaned too far to the left.

>>219051863

Saudi Arabia, interesting enough, despite the implied civil war/revolution. I guess they went all-or-nothing on space when they realised their old fortunes were over, so they transitioned to space launches.

The others are:

China
Brazil
Nigeria
Malaysia
The Islamic Republic of Pakistan
The Republic of South Africa
The Kingdom of Thailand

I'm going to guess some of these are potential spacefaring powerhouses because their relative proximity to the equator makes them prime candidates for cheap space launching sites.

>newsreel shows modern South African flag, implying apartheid still ends democratically
>despite the Soviet Union and East Germany still existing

>>219054204

I'll guess they will get a massive boost once North Korea joins in. Maybe there's a Korean unification in that timeline given how SK was left out of M-7 and M-6.

>>219054242
ussr in this timeline probably made a point of caring about civil rights so as not to get blasted on the world stage under gorbachev, if not before

>>219053851

>>219054204

Indonesia is the most glaring omission if they aren't already mentioned. Indonesia is an equatorial powerhouse. They sit directly on the equator with thousands of islands offering perfect "splashdown" zones for rocket stages.In a world where the US and USSR are hogging the moon, Indonesia would likely partner with China to build a "Pacific Space Hub" to rival the M-7's dominance in the Eastern Hemisphere.

On the other hand, it would make sense for Kenya. In real life, Kenya hosted the Italian-run San Marco platform, an offshore launch site. Geographically, it's one of the best spots on Earth for equatorial launches. On the other hand, they may have close relationship with the MI-6 due the ESA connection.


Vietnam could be part of it. Given the SENPAI timeline’s history with the Vietnam War (which ended differently/earlier), Vietnam could be a tiger economy by the 2010s.

To avoid being completely eclipsed by Brazil's Alcântara site, Argentina could join the ISN to offer polar launch capabilities from the far south, which are essential for certain types of surveillance and communication satellites.

>>219054877
why is launching from the equator so important?

>>219054924
you basically get a speed boost because the speed you get from the earths rotation on its axis is fastest there

>>219054924

Equatorial advantage: In orbital mechanics, the closer you are to the equator, the more "free" velocity you get from the Earth's rotation at the equator versus significantly less at higher latitudes like Baikonur or Kennedy Space Center.

>>219054998
>>219055001
interesting thanks

>>219054422
I can't. I wouldn't have asked otherwise. I'm at work and outiade sites are blocked. I want to put it as my wallpaper.

>>219054924
you get to use the earth's spin as extra starting speed to get into orbit, meaning you use less fuel, aka bigger payload or cheaper launches. That, and you end-up on the same plane as the rest of the solar system, meaning you don't spend extra fuel to get on the same plane as your target celestial body.

>>219054877
>Vietnam could be part of it. Given the SENPAI timeline’s history with the Vietnam War (which ended differently/earlier), Vietnam could be a tiger economy by the 2010s.
vietnam are doing alright for themselves in our timeline. in a world where the war ended early and the ussr being an economic powerhouse gives them a second big daddy along with china (who as far as we can tell are still pretty well off) theyd be laughing all the way to the bank

>>219056140
its a cool scifi/althis show and where social issues come up, they do so because the show is moving through time periods where they arose irl. anything "woke" is typically handled with more nuance than youd expect (ie. gay/female/whatever characters are not infallible). if you think having to look at nonwhites is a hideous injustice and the existence of women makes a show irredeemable woke slop, dont bother, but otherwise id recommend it

How?

>>219060619
Did they build domes like this in all the uninhabitable areas of Earth like deserts, Arctic and Antarctica? What's the benefit of being on Mars?

>>219062190
Over a cave with grow lights? None really. Just looks cooler.

So what is the twist going to be this time? My bet is Kelly "finds" life on Mars, and then it turns out she faked the data or deliberately contaminated the crater.

>>219062190
That's why they had to steal the asteroid on the show. To give a reason for Mars not be an unsustainable broke shithole. Irl there is no reason at all to ever send a person to Mars. The moon is more valuable since at least it has helium. Asteroid mining might eventually be profitable if robots can do it. But people on Mars is retarded and pointless.

>>219055106
The same plane doesn't matter that much since most interplanetary flights get at least one gravity boost from the Moon and gravity assists can change your inclination for free.

>>219049809
Did you even watch the intro of this episode? The US is imploding in this season because it fumbled Mars and the continuous line of presidents maintaining Apollo-level funding for NASA (in 2000s dollars this would mean they probably get a budget as large as the military, which is way smaller in this timeline because the middle east is not politically relevant anymore and the soviets calmed down)

I'd be surprised if Helios survives this season when Dev disappears up his own ass

>>219066145
>the continuous line of presidents maintaining Apollo-level funding for NASA (in 2000s dollars this would mean they probably get a budget as large as the military
nasas been self funding since between s2 and s3. that might have dropped off now with helios running a lot of mars, but they havent been propped up by the govt all this time

>>219066364
Then what are they arguing about in the intro? Holy fuck did they make the space force a decade early

>>219066477
idk. maybe other govt departments are involved with running mars or its just an optics thing about people being pissed the asteroid went to mars

or maybe nasa either stopped turning a profit and needed bailed out or people are pissed theyre making profit and not sharing that money with the rest of the govt

or maybe bragg is just using nasa as a boogeyman

well probably learn more once the season gets into mars wanting independence

Cobra Kid and Rooftop Martian are going to be enemies, right?

>>219067751
The US is pretty clearly going to invade Mars

>>219067751
At least for the first couple of episodes. There will probably be a timejump of 2-3 years. Young Kreese will probably redeem himself somehow.

>>219062592
Wouldn't building a settlement inside natural caves be a little dangerous when Mars or Moon quakes aren't fully understood? It would probably take a while to determine which places are seismically stable.

>>219068128

I'm pretty sure both Mars and Moon cores are pretty much dead.

>>219068154

Martian core is actually completely liquid. Because the core is entirely liquid and lacks a solid inner core to drive convection (the way Earth's does), it can't generate a global magnetic field.

When you have fusion energy, a lot of things that look expensive would suddenly become very cheap. If you’ve got cheap fusion, then you’ve got an unlimited supply of cheap hydrocarbon fuel and carbon neutral fuel because you make it by just sucking the carbon and water right back out of the air.

You’ve also got cheap fertilizer. The nitrogen we use as our main fertilizer is mostly produced from ammonia produced by the Haber-Bosch process. With cheap electricity you can electrolyze water for its hydrogen and suck nitrogen from the air to produce ammonia. So you can make nitrogen fertilizer very cheap. Ditto for phosphorus, our other main fertilizer, you can get cheaper supplies of it. You can separate it from low-density supplies in a number of energy-expensive but simple methods, even something as low tech as a centrifuge.

That applies to any mineral, even if you ignore that you could mine asteroids. Recycling of almost anything becomes way cheaper and easier as well. Ditto water. We always have water shortages on a planet whose surface is more water than land because it’s all undrinkable salt-water but with cheap power you can desalinate water cheap enough for agricultural purposes. You can’t have a drought because you never run out of water and you’ve got cheap power to irrigate fields with.

You’ve got cheap, carbon-neutral plastics or polycarbon sheets to make greenhouses, which seriously cut water usage and keep warmer temperatures, but you can also heat them since you have cheap power. So you gain all the deserts and tundras as growing space and more efficient growing space since greenhouses loaded up with warm temps and cheap fertilizer produce orders of magnitude more food than old fashioned pre-industrial farming.

Working nuclear fusion is a total paradigm shift in terms of scarcity of resources and the maximum population you can comfortably support.

>>219069972
Annnnd that's exactly how you get the overpopulated hellacape of Earth in The Expanse where there's 40 billion people and that vast majority are unemployed. Even if they teach themselves to doctorate level, there's no open work slots so they have to sit around and everyone lives on basic income. Being able to create such a large population would be terrible for global society unless there's other livable worlds to ship them all off to.

>>219063102
>The moon is more valuable since at least it has helium
mining helium on the moon is a meme, you might as well filter gold from the earth's oceans. both is technically possible, but will never be economically viable.

unironically the biggest sell for the moon would be the short distance and low gravity.

you could livestream basketball games in 1/6 gravity on the moon. or come up with entirely new kinds of sports.

imagine a huge dome where regularly dressed people can jump 30 feet in the air, would be kino. athleticism and olympics, a fun tourism industry on the moon. thats more real that mining shit there

>>219070944

It is more important as an industrial site. It is perfect. Steel made on the moon would be of extraordinary quality thanks to the lack of oxygen corroding it with oxidation. On Earth, steelmakers have to spend a fortune creating artificial vacuums to suck out impurities like nitrogen, hydrogen, and leftover oxygen. On the Moon, the vacuum is free. Lunar steel would stay pristine throughout the forging process. This means better surface finishes and more precise tolerances without the need for chemical "pickling" or grinding to remove rust layers. The Moon is covered in Lunar Regolith, which is rich in iron oxides and magnesium. Even better, some areas have high concentrations of Titanium. By using molten oxide electrolysis, we could pull pure iron and oxygen directly out of the dirt.

>>219071078
production sites in orbit would make more sense.
the vacuum there is also free, and the moon still has an "atmosphere", so not total vacuum, and moondust is such a shit hassle to deal with. will be just as bad as dealing with oxygen and moisture on earth.
and an orbital facility saves money on transport costs. its cheaper to launch from the moon sure, but why even bother setting down there in the first place when you can just build in orbit.

orbit/deep space construction is the future, planets are vastly overrated in terms of real estate. we can literally build our own real estate exactly how we need it.
by the time we have the technical skills to build large scale on the moon, we wont need to anymore

Let's just put it this way: the main character *literally* gets cucked. And not in a minor "oh you cheated on me? Bye" way, no, his wife still remains an important and successful character after she cheats on him and after the divorce.
But not just that, ALSO the guy who fucked her becomes an important character well into S3 and S4 as well.
The cucking is not even depicted as something le bad, her justification is that he's just in space too much and too serious and this is played off totally straight btw. She gets zero repercussions aside from feeling a bit sad after the divorce.

>>219077702
>There are lots of girlbosses
The show should really be called, "For All Womankind," it's so blatant. The first episode of this season is insufferable. The strong, brown, immigrant, female CEO - they make sure we see the sign with "Chief Executive Officer" - who can't stop saying "fuck" unnecessarily, actually girlbosses her sniveling, YT-boy assistant and subordinates and makes him carry her stuff while she gives orders. It's freaking hilarious how forced it is. As if the producers decided we still weren't getting the message, the beginning of this episode uses that ridiculous Beyonce song, Girls Run The World, or whatever it's called
Girls, we run this motha, yeah
