wheels Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I think it was a valid concept. The tech side is one thing, but the psychological strain may well be one of the biggest obstacles for long trips. Bad enough being on the Ben.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Six men locked away in steel tubes for a year-and-a-half... Paging LDV? Which reminds me, if you travelled all that way with someone and they were getting on your tits, at least there's an airlock you can push them out of. With the current economic climate - and the liklihood of a downturn lasting 10 years or more - I think it will be 2030 something before we even think of going there.

StuartT Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hmm just watched that clip and looked up a bit about that film. Seems very familiar. A bit like 2001 Space Oddessey and a few space novels (could have been WE John's ones) that I remember reading when I was much younger. Was that the effect the producer was trying to make?
