I read the first two books.

Quite good, not Neuromancer or Dune great, but better then 90% of what out there. Only time I was not liking the books was when the Eros Zombies was going on, as I was afraid the book was going to crap with zombies. But I was glad I was wrong.

>>79504791
from the top of my head there is one white/black relationship and one white guy is in "love" with an asian chick

>>79504880
im okay with alien sex, its just the idea of downgrading your genetics is whats ultimately the most disgusting

>>79504791
There a lot of non-white charicters, but the only interracial sex is a white male and black female.

In season 1 there is a interracial gay couple, but you only see them eating together as a couple.

>>79504925
Well then you don't have to worry, the only interracial couples are a gay couple and a guy who been so radioactive he can't have kids.

Yeah, this is the only part of the show that was better in the books, not the other way around like the rest of the show.

Here's how it was in the books:

Miller watches the incoming ship, accepting his death, he feels there is nothing else for him. The Eros radio that was incoherent and spouting only a few words suddenly screams, "DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME," and Eros moves.

>>79508014

>>79508683
To be fair there was no noticeable difference between the nuclear missiles torpedoes at the Cant and the plasma torpedoes fired at the Donnie. This leads me to believe that a the plasma torpedoes and the nuclear torpedoes are the same delivery vehicle simply refitted with different warheads. I do agree in general though, five torpedoes completely cracking phoebe apart is just bullshit.

Book Holden is extremely bland, he's honestly doing a good job.

The other characters make the books interesting and it'll be the same way with the show. Not a problem imo. I think Amos' actor is really starting to get the character and that's good since he's one of the best parts of the books.

>>79505183
Not being able to have kids had nothing to do with the anti-rad patch - it was due to the massive radiation hit they'd already taken.

I wouldn't think so. There's more depth to the books, better insight to what each of the characters are thinking and that sort of thing. The conceptualization of things ruins it for me usually, though. I prefer to read books before watching shows because I like to imagine things for myself and then see how it's presented on the screen. The other way around, and it's hard for me to not see an actor's face and hear their voice when I'm reading. It's not always bad, just my preference.

>What did you think of the newest episode?

Just started watching the episode and have to ask; how is this a “stealth” ship?

There are all kinda right angles, pockets and recesses literally everywhere on the ship which will reflect radar like crazy.

It's in fact the exact opposite of what a stealth ship would look like.

Magick stealth field, ain't gotta exlain shit :3

>>79515938
It's literally the main thrust of a lot of the story, and similiar but more pronounced to how it is in the show. Belters are people who live in space and so are extremely tall and thin with weak muscles. They can't go 'down the well' to planets and are confined to the low g moons and space stations. It's very rare for them to be in complete zero g though. All of the ships are usually under constant acceleration to some degree providing a sense of gravity be it half a g or, in combat scenarios up to ten.

And if we are getting mildly spoilery, the fact that Belter's are unable to live on planets gets very relevant in the later books, especially in 5 and 6

>>79515498
i know it's a dumb question

but which ship was that ?

they nuked the one that attacked the Anubis, right ?

>>79516371
It took me a minute to figure out too, but it's almost certainly one of the Donnager's victims.

Fred Johnson would have its location on account of tracking the whole battle with the Nauvoo's massive sensor array.

>>79516693
yeah maybe

but wouldn't it be surrounded by a massive debris field left by the Donnager nuking itself ?

>>79516693
Are you trolling? Its they one they destroyed when attacking the base/research station recording Eros.

>>79516716
At this point it's been drifting through interplanetary space for weeks/months. Debris from an explosion is going to go sailing off in all directions and a hell of a lot faster than a dead ship.

They're painted with a substance that absorbs Radar and ladar. Similar to the paint used on stealth aircraft in real life. There's microscopic iron particles in the paint, and iron absorbs radio waves. When Radar hits the paint it's absorbed and converted into heat.

The most annoying PC bullshit in the show is that almost every leader of assault troops is that ridiculous "warrior woman" trope. And not even in a remotely believable way. The just took the part of the grizzled sergeant and cast a chick in it.

But other than that nonsense, it's not too bad.

They have designs for smaller suits out already, but they already have built the bigger suits that are proven, and it expensive to just do a mission to human rate a new suit. Then launch new suits into space.

For example, Nasa has a whole series of missions with satellites that nothing but LEO orbiters that prove that a set of components can be used in space. One reason why Nasa computers in space are normally 10 year old designs before launched in critical missions.

Star Helix boss, the police captain. And probably the clearest and most plausible case of incompetence in management in the series. Presented as efficient, and keeping the Ceres-police state functioning during disruptive times and weak administration- BUT:

The Mao case was supposed to go into the deadfile, will of her secret OPA masters. So she gave it to her worst cop, and took his partner off of it for good measure. Only Miller *wasn't* an incompetent cop. He was a cop in the process of burning out- a morale issue- during the course of which, he was an an erratic performer and an absolute asshole to people, not least to Captain Shaddid. She personally hated him. She was the person in charge of determining just how competent he was at the various skill-sets of his profession and presenting the analysis of that to world as reality, and using that analysis in predictable ways to pursue set goals. Miller was a jerk to her and she fucking hated him. So Miller gets to be an incompetent cop in her mind, and to Anderson Dawes ears.

...She done fucked up there.

Food/water can be supplied by earth since its so close, but i'm sure there is plenty of water on the moon for it to be self-sufficient

Mars still has pretty low gravity. Unlike mars, the effect of lunar low-G can be mitigated by rotating people between earth and the moon (which is kind of impractical with mars's 6 to 12 month transit time, and we don't have magic space drugs to low-G effects like in the expanse)

magneto doesn't matter because we'd be living underground in either case and terraforming mars would take hundreds of years


moon provides us a much cheaper way to build future spacecraft/stations and clearly the most viable first colony for earth

Closeness has nothing to do with it - it is cost. The cost of getting stuff into orbit is the biggest limiting factor in space exploration.

It is much less expensive to figure out how to get water (which is very heavy) and other consumables from the local area then spending millions of dollars to launch it.

The moon gravity is so low it is almost not enough to keep people from tipping over. Mars has enough gravity (1/3 of the earth) that the impact on humans is much less then freefall or really minor gravity like the moon.

The moon has limited water supplies - thus limiting the area that can be used. in addition while mars is VERY cold, the moon has much larger temperature range since it is airless, which means that it harder to engineer stuff for it.

moon temps range from ice cold (-183 degrees Celsius) to boiling (104 degrees Celsius). Mars goes from -133 to 20.

Rotating people from Moon to earth would be VERY expensive. it would be far cheaper to just spin up a small station and have it for gravity treatments, but you wouldn't even need that for Mars, as it has high enough gravity to for key body functions.

Just finished the first season last night. Are they doing one book per season?

Since Mars has 1/3 Earth's gravity, is it ever explained why Martians don't look like Belters?

All martians are raised at 0.37G. Some Belters are at 0.3G or lower depending on their ship/part of the station, near the centre of spin gravity is very low.

Also mars can afford the magic space drugs and the belters can't.

In the books martians are described as somewhere between belters and earthers, but it would create a casting nightmare for the show.

Nope. Heat conduction and convection are non-applicable in space, so you can only radiate heat away since there is nothing (air, metal, no nothing) to convect or conduct it to.

You are bitching since a unrelated question isn't being answered. If you want to talk about "woman leaders" or "Woman Bosses" there are a few shown in the series. Some are good, some are piss poor, and most are mostly good and make mistakes.

In this series, everyone fucksup at some point unless they die or disappear from the plot before they had enough chances to screw up.

How do you know what impact martian gravity would have on humans? I mean a mars colony would be effectively cut off from earth so we're talking very long-term exposure.

A lunar colony would be not cut off, the bulk of the cost is in getting things out of earth orbit and we already do this very regularly with ISS people and cargo. The moon could build spin stations and ships much, much cheaper than earth ever will. All we need to do is to get enough (alot) starting supplies and people to the moon for them to get self-sufficient and then set up mining and manufacturing.

He actually has a baby face in the books, so they got that part right. He's also bald though.

he's described in the books as looking like a fat psychotic baby. Not bad casting.

So he's supposed to be gomer pyle?

Why would Mars let whites in after whites shipped all the non-whites to Mars in slave ships?

Love the space tug design - little drones that are 90% engine and a universal grabby thing on front.

The actor was apparently in the middle of reading the first book when he was called to audition.

He went NUTS with it, read the novella about Amos' origins and paid a shrink to read it and tell him how a person who'd been through that would behave/think as an adult.

He might not fit the books' description EXACTLY but the actor's nailing the character so I'm happy.

I haven't read the books, but at any point in the future does MCRN or the UN get fighter-scaled railgun lancers?

>>79528359
no fighter-type ships in the expanse

the roci gets one

>>79528607
good enough

bin that bomb!

>>79528607
are you saying mars lost its only fighter ship?

This show is the epitome of comfy modern Scifi, better than Dark Matter and that other one. But since I watch it on friday nights I feel sad when I finish it and I'm all alone. Sad!

Splitting with the Roci crew in the book tears him up inside. It's pretty much the moment where he loses the last bit of non-depressive behavior in him and sets him up to be in the mood for what he's about to pull on Eros. In his head, Julie is all he has left.

It was sent before. Humanity even existed. It's 2 billion years old.

It was sent to build a wormhole gate so aliens could reach our system.

How does he manage to look like a midget at 6'2?

Rat is electric itself, it probably uses up more than it would produce.

Good anime is generally rare. Let me shill Yamato 2199 to you. It's not hard and fairly upbeat, sompared to Expanse. It's closer to space fantasy like Star Wars, but the visuals and animation are beautiful. There is a second season coming out soon.

He has that permanent Jaden Smith confused look.

>>79530044
It's not like he knows much... And in book 3 he thinks about getting a big dog. What do the authors mean by all this, I wonder?

Made a new bread, bet in there, my skinnies!
