We need a better propulsion system and shielding system for space. Current tech just barely cuts it.

Might I suggest a name for the first spacecraft?

The Nostromo.

The two paintings at 1:27 are by Syd Mead. He was commissioned by NASA to do crazy awesome paintings in the 60's and 70's.

Thank You, shuac.

I can't believe I've never heard of this book before.

The production values of this video are top notch!

Reminds me of watching stupid indoctrinating films on the overhead projector in grade school.

Looks awesome but what happens when they miscalculate or there's an accident and we find an asteroid hurtling towards Earth? Until we figure the answer to that out I'd say keep it sci-fi...or at least stay away from the near earth ones!

(and I know those are the most cost effective ones...but cost effective doesn't always mean it's right)

In space, no one can hear your sarcasm.
