Which means it will be cancelled after the first or third season.

This is steaming on Peacock

But is it a steaming pile regardless of where?

Don't even waist a second of your time on this POS!

It has some really jaw-dropping unscientific elements, such as needing to thrust continuously to maintain speed to proxima centaury, as though Newton's first law doesn't exist. But other than dumb things like that, I rather enjoy it.

I agree. It's a good show for entertainment purposes only. Not for intellectuals like KAB.

What does that mean? You hate The Ark?

He's a Unicorn? lol.

Never watched it. I was referring to the idea of having to maintain thrust - it’s STUPID. But it IS a way of faking gravity.

 

[TheKrell]

Yeah, that is aggressively ignorant.

But it IS a way of faking gravity.

Well... They make artificial gravity (so far as I can tell watching the series) from their rotating structures. Now from looking at the outside, there are plenty of other parts of the Ark that do not rotate, so maybe they make gravity in more than one way.

I recall an article years ago that discussed the minimum radius needed to create such effect without too much trouble between head and feet. Ear problems? Anyway, it seemed previous calculations didn’t take such factors into sufficient account, and they expected it would greatly increase the size of the “wheel.” Hence ideas such as spinning barbells, etc.

Moot. I don’t think the shielding problem has been solved. I doubt any of us will see a manned trip to Mars to a good end, even if one way.

 

[TheKrell]

Well, I found the season finale a let-down.

In the first place, you are NOT going to spin up a tidally-locked planet via it's magnetic field, and certainly not within seconds. And if there's a lot of methane frozen on the darkl side, when it rotates into the sun, it does not blow up the entire planet! Really, writers? I think these writers are the same ones who came up with Space 1999.

Used to watch this show at 10:30pm on our local CBS station back in the 70s. I used to go into school on Mondays all tired, but I loved sci-fi and back then watched when ever there was some on.
