We should commit ourselves to the mission of enclosing the ISS in a giant glass bubble, then bringing it back to Earth so it can be put in a museum somewhere. Not because it’d be easy, but because it’d be cool as shit.

But yeah, I feel the whole ‘we’re doing corporate space stations now’ thing is just higher up people having seen some sort of success in the whole ‘we did corporate space launching’ programs of the last decade. (the whole ‘Commercial Crew Program’ contracting thing)

And then just missing the point going forward cause they’ve all had their brains fried by public/private ideology. these companies did all of that shit before because they made money off launching shit, nobody’s gonna be making money off maintaining space stations, it’s not gonna fucken work

Hot Take maybe; Player-sexuality as the norm is probably inevitable as more of these games tend towards adding mixed and diverse gender options. No developer wants to be the one deciding what combinations of body types, genders, pronouns, voices etc etc falls under ‘available to lesbian romance option’ or ‘available to straight male flirting’.

That said, my preference is still set sexuality. Especially the more grounded a setting. Judy from Cyberpunk (recency bias am I right) for example likely wouldn’t feel as real a character to me without the history of messy lesbian situation-ships thing she has going on.

A few years back famed sci-fi author Kim Stanley Robinson (of Mars Trilogy fame) wrote a space book where the takeaway was basically about how interstellar colonization is hard and sucks, and that maybe we should appreciate living on our precious planet Earth.

And a certain section of sci-fi nerds got so mad.

Think about that a lot with stuff like this. Kill the space nerd in your head folks.
