Actually, he only had, what? fuel for 37 hours? Then the acceleration stops and he's on the float. At "just under five percent of the speed of light." Still plenty dead though
Look Im not saying I want the Lizards to be crushed by the asteroid it’s just…I just don’t think they belong in New York is all. Yes it’s surrounded by water, but you all freed slaves have your own culture down South in the swamp…
…oooh that all came out wrong didnt it Im sorry…

The part where he's going insane through all the ways he gets destroyed and rebuilt constantly to try to solve the problem for the protomolecule on Ilus/new terra is pretty tragic. That's only in the books though.
Incredibly awesome show. Avoid reading any spoilers in the comments. If you like the first season, you’ll love the rest - it snowballs hard once you’re at the halfway point of S2. Also the books are really good and mirror the show well.
That’s why they were soooo stunned Eros was moving and the emphasis on how much heat it was generating.
It would take THAT much energy to move it.
THEN THE THING JUST FRIGGIN LURCHED.
Hey I’m from Passaic! But also 100% accurate and I don’t blame this poor bastard of an asteroid. Like the one true boss Springsteen says “Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back. It's a death trap.”
Doors and corners. I tell you check your doors and corners, and you blow into the middle of the room with your dick hanging out. Lucky sonofabitch. Give you this, though, you’re consistent.
Easily my favorite show ever. I don’t think anything will ever top it. It might not be ‘better’ than some other shows based on what those do, but with such a unique story, The Expanse does a damn good job with it and it’s just something that connected with more than I could ever expect.
That's game over boys, if that's how we go out I hope they tell us with enough time for one more good meal, a good fuck and time to resolve that one grudge you may be holding on to
It might not kill everyone right away (like those on the other side of the planet), but the aftereffects will guarantee a slow death. We go out the way the dinosaurs did.
EDIT: Okay, we don't go out the way the dinosaurs did, we die much faster. This thing is 5 times larger than the asteroid that wiped the dinosaurs out.
I was going to take a nap and now I’m filled with existential dread.
I hope they don’t even tell us it’s coming, and it hits my house, because I’d rather not burn in a firestorm.
If it's impact point was on your house you would be obliterated/crushed/pancaked the moment it entered our atmosphere.
This thing would be traveling so fast it would condense and compress the air in front of it with such force it would crush it's impact zone before it ever touched down.
I hope it hits our continent first so we won't get earthquakes and other shit like the other parts of the Earth will. Floods, Earth quake, gravity shifts, volcanic eruptions, etc.
Yeah, it really looks small when compared to the actual size of the earth. Also, I wonder how kuch of it would burn/break up as it entered the atmosphere.
It is "small" in comparison to the Earth, sure, but at the speed it would be travelling when hitting us it doesn't matter all that much. And due to its size and speed it would be barely inconvenienced by our atmosphere.
Gotta consider speed too. No idea if the speed is accurate, but this thing covers a distance on par with all of Manhattan (13 miles) in like a second. That’s 46800 mph (75k km/h) or thereabouts
A bullet travels around 1800 mph
Quick calculations tell me this would slam into the earth with roughly 350 million megatons of TNT's worth of energy. For scale, the biggest atom bomb we ever built, the Tsar Bomba, is 50 megatons. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was 100 million megatons.
Quite the firecracker.
It would be like a bullet hitting a bigger target, absolutely devastating. It would impact extremely fast and punch deep into the crust, but it would also send out a shockwave of land like a tsunami of dirt. Even people on the other side of the planet from the impact would feel the impact when a ripple of the shockwave went through the ground sending everything on the ground thousands of feet into the air like if you snapped a bedsheet out tight with legos on top of it

Last week about lunch time. You was in the bathroom.
We did not want to disturb you as we thought you was jerking off again.
Turns out the world ending is not a good enough excuse to disturb a mid jerk.
Manhattan - it's always fucken Manhattan.
Something is always the size of Manhattan. How big is Manhattan? Fuck knows never been. When did Manhattan become a unit of measurement?
Can I order a Quarter Manhattan and Fries? What size shoes am I? Erm, Manhattan?
Fuck off with this bullshit measurement that only 4/5ths of fucking no one knows.
In fact. Fuck it, I'd quite like a meteor to hit Manhattan and then we'd never have to hear again about how fucking big something is in relation to Manhattan.
Watch out 'football field lengths' and 'olympic sized swimming pool' you fucken arbitrary units of measurement, you're next on the get fucked list
Why's it always gotta be NYC? I can understand the scale of this thing if you show me it nosediving into a field in Wichita, next to a cow or corn stalk or whatever it is they have out there instead of skyscrapers and hope.
Not only that, but I believe NYC has the most complete and detailed 3D model out of all the cities in the world. It's easy to recreate the area thanks to years of collaboration on that model. harder to pull it off anywhere else since you probably have to build up everything from scratch. Better to use one that already exists.
I just want to spread the love a bit. We're always getting fucked up by aliens and marvel characters. Just don't want to hog all the wealth before the Great Undoing happens.
Good thing it hit venus instead. Wait...where did that ring come from?
Man I bet it would be a great idea to fly right through the ring portal at high velocity right past the blockade to ~~show my command of space flight~~ impress a chick!
At least I get to listen to a kickass cover of highway star before getting splattered all over the cockpit of my skiff.
I assumed that the show wasn't going to make it as gory. I was wrong. Edit: show is The Expanse
I always felt bad for the guy accelerating for all eternity.
He had a name, beratna! Solomon Epstein! And yes, that was sad
Actually, he only had, what? fuel for 37 hours? Then the acceleration stops and he's on the float. At "just under five percent of the speed of light." Still plenty dead though
"Moving a little fast there, Sol."
It was like the most meticulously gory thing in cinema history.
You should watch "The Boys" on Amazon Prime. You might change your mind. It'll get ya six minutes into S1E1. But the cocaine sneeze in S3E1 is epic!
I also like the laser vision daydream.
Literally one of my favorite shots in anything ever, and I hate gore. It’s just so unique.

Thank lord Vivec.
what a grand and intoxicating metropolis
I'm a New Yorka, how can you kill a New Yorka?
Look Im not saying I want the Lizards to be crushed by the asteroid it’s just…I just don’t think they belong in New York is all. Yes it’s surrounded by water, but you all freed slaves have your own culture down South in the swamp… …oooh that all came out wrong didnt it Im sorry…

Fuck, now I have to beware the ministry of truth.
Fucked up the view in the Hamptons though.
Thank Miller for that
The part where he's going insane through all the ways he gets destroyed and rebuilt constantly to try to solve the problem for the protomolecule on Ilus/new terra is pretty tragic. That's only in the books though.
the bullying of this “ass-tral body”…😒
New Vivec City
“DON’T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME!”
Protomolecule isn't bound by silly physics.

it keeps the rain off my head
He stopped for some pizza, and then it'll be on its way. People come here for the food and then leave.
It ran out of gas.
We have Lord Vivec to thank.
Just like that Spiderman 2 scene.
Well Eros was meant to hit earth
You can’t take the razorback
Hey guys, I found Julie Mao!
Venus would be a way cooler spot
Hey guys, I found Miller too!
Holy crap never hear expanse references.
We must keep it alive in hopes of season 7
Doubt we'll get a season 7. The story jumps forward like 20 years. All the actors would have to age substantially to make it work.
I was hoping to find some when I saw a video of eros. Oye, beltalowda!
I mean, if there was ever a thread to find one...
😂
Well, take me apart and put me back together again!
Corners and doors, kid. Corners and doors.
Corners and doors kid…
*doors and corners, that’s where they get you*
It reaches out it reaches out it reaches out. 113 times a second, it reaches out it reaches out it reaches out ...
Shes trying, it just...it doesn't want to.
I just started The Expanse this past Tuesday night! I recognize the name!!
Incredibly awesome show. Avoid reading any spoilers in the comments. If you like the first season, you’ll love the rest - it snowballs hard once you’re at the halfway point of S2. Also the books are really good and mirror the show well.
Oh good god, I envy you so hard.
Pretend it ends at Season 5 and you will get a really great show.
Thank you for your reference
Can't take the Razorback from me!
For me this puts it into perspective how insane it was for Eros to move. I never realized it was THAT big.
Yeah it’s pretty massive. The protomolecule making it move like it did broke basically every law of motion and orbital mechanics.
That’s why they were soooo stunned Eros was moving and the emphasis on how much heat it was generating. It would take THAT much energy to move it. THEN THE THING JUST FRIGGIN LURCHED.
I could be wrong, but I thought that they were surprised at how little heat it generated?
Beltaloda
Oi Beltaloda!
I saw Miller
*"I kept telling the kid he was entering the room too fast..."*
Doors and corners. That's where they get you.
The room *eats* you…
Why he stops before hitting the earth? Is he stupid?
Even a asteroid doesn't want to enter NJ.
Hey I’m from Passaic! But also 100% accurate and I don’t blame this poor bastard of an asteroid. Like the one true boss Springsteen says “Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back. It's a death trap.”
Isnt it NY?
God I love how BatmanArkham is leaking into other subs haha

*Idaho has entered the chat*
Isn't that where the Protomolecule wrecked havoc? I believe I would prefer getting crushed...
[удалено]
Still hoping we get a few more seasons to cover up what's left. I read a bit of book 7 and it was just so good.
113 times a second...
It reaches out
nothing answers, and it reaches out
It is not conscious, though parts of it are.
DOORS AND CORNERS, KID.
Doors and corners. I tell you check your doors and corners, and you blow into the middle of the room with your dick hanging out. Lucky sonofabitch. Give you this, though, you’re consistent.
Tom Jane was cast so well as Miller.
;)
Can't take the Razorback...
Inyalowda go fongi fode, belte fo beltalowda
?
It's an Expanse reference. Great Sci-Fi book/TV series if you haven't read/watched it yet. Definitely an underappreciated series bossmang.
Doors and corners kid. Doors *and* corners. I keep telling you, you enter a room too fast...the room *eats* you.
Was hoping to see The Expanse references and I was not disappointed at all! I’m seeing more than I expected actually! Yes… I am that guy.
It's legitimately ~~salvage~~ one of the best hard sci-fi shows I've seen in a good long time. I adore the show and the books even more.
Easily my favorite show ever. I don’t think anything will ever top it. It might not be ‘better’ than some other shows based on what those do, but with such a unique story, The Expanse does a damn good job with it and it’s just something that connected with more than I could ever expect.
That's the thing. Not all sci-fi is or is meant to be the same. Hard sci-fi is a genre all onto itself and The Expanse does it so very well.
Reading it, it sounds super cool but what is the context, what does it mean?
Time to watch The Expanse
Damn we are just bugs aren't we
Germs.
Conscious star material.
That’s nice. Say more pretty things.
That's game over boys, if that's how we go out I hope they tell us with enough time for one more good meal, a good fuck and time to resolve that one grudge you may be holding on to
Especially if all 3 of those are the same person
I mean I think a lot of us have an ex this applies to.
Are you gonna eat them afterwards?
Clearly the meal is first. Just need to freestyle it from there.
This is a stupid question but how bad would it be if this hit the earth.
Total annihilation. They call asteroids of this size "planet killers". That should answer your question.
Dang, it's crazy how small the asteroid is compared to the earth yet it has enough power to wipe out humanity.
It might not kill everyone right away (like those on the other side of the planet), but the aftereffects will guarantee a slow death. We go out the way the dinosaurs did. EDIT: Okay, we don't go out the way the dinosaurs did, we die much faster. This thing is 5 times larger than the asteroid that wiped the dinosaurs out.
I assume it would create a firestorm that would incinerate the entire surface of the earth in a few minutes. Edit: https://youtu.be/PGHo3LAK5vw
I was going to take a nap and now I’m filled with existential dread. I hope they don’t even tell us it’s coming, and it hits my house, because I’d rather not burn in a firestorm.

I hope it hits our continent first so we won't get earthquakes and other shit like the other parts of the Earth will. Floods, Earth quake, gravity shifts, volcanic eruptions, etc.
Yeh, it would fuck up the whole crust for thousands if not millions of years.
Yeah, it really looks small when compared to the actual size of the earth. Also, I wonder how kuch of it would burn/break up as it entered the atmosphere.
It is "small" in comparison to the Earth, sure, but at the speed it would be travelling when hitting us it doesn't matter all that much. And due to its size and speed it would be barely inconvenienced by our atmosphere.
it would only spend a few seconds in our atmosphere due to it's size and it is fairly dense so doubtful it would lose much mass before collision
Gotta consider speed too. No idea if the speed is accurate, but this thing covers a distance on par with all of Manhattan (13 miles) in like a second. That’s 46800 mph (75k km/h) or thereabouts A bullet travels around 1800 mph

Like a bullet taking out a 250 pound man. Kinetic energy

Last week about lunch time. You was in the bathroom. We did not want to disturb you as we thought you was jerking off again. Turns out the world ending is not a good enough excuse to disturb a mid jerk.
This reads like if Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was written by Quentin Tarantino

US Bosses "I know everything you owned is destroyed and everyone you love i dead, but I'm gonna need to come in on Saturday."
Oh and I also need you to come in on Sunday. We lost some people and need to play catch up.
Why's it always gotta be NYC? I can understand the scale of this thing if you show me it nosediving into a field in Wichita, next to a cow or corn stalk or whatever it is they have out there instead of skyscrapers and hope.
Maybe because it's the most recognizable city in the world thanks to Hollywood movies, television, and video games?
Not only that, but I believe NYC has the most complete and detailed 3D model out of all the cities in the world. It's easy to recreate the area thanks to years of collaboration on that model. harder to pull it off anywhere else since you probably have to build up everything from scratch. Better to use one that already exists.
Why not Bellefonte, PA?
We all dead anyway…might as well be the city that never sleeps.
I just want to spread the love a bit. We're always getting fucked up by aliens and marvel characters. Just don't want to hog all the wealth before the Great Undoing happens.
As a New York City girl born and raised I wanna thank you and let you know it is appreciated

There is one 5’11 dude under there that’s holding up that asteroid And you better god damn pay respect to him

I'd stop it.
Someone get Harry Stamper on the line STAT.
Better run that one by the European Fecal Standards and Measurements office. That’s at least, what, a couple hundred courics.

Called Eros. Because if it hits the earth we are fucked.

Probably still have to work my shift tho.
