Pitch Black: tri star systems, micrometeorites, and eyeshine w/ Fraser Cain
b'Stasis \\n\\n
Stasis for interstellar space travel. \\u201cFreezing\\u201d people into a low-activity biological state. IRL medical developments.
\\n\\n Microimpactors in space \\n\\nSpace junk in near-earth orbit. That time a paint chipped cracked a window on the ISS\\xa0(don\\u2019t worry, the ISS is fine). Comet tails and variously-sized chunks of ice as impactors.
\\n\\n Landing on M6-117 (and other planets) \\n\\nAtmospheric density vs interstellar velocities. The benefits of landing on a planet\\xa0with atmosphere vs a planet without. It\\u2019s hard without! Realizing having an atmosphere to slow down in can be a blessing if the ship can handle the temperatures due to atmospheric compression under/around the vessel.
\\n\\n Trinary Star systems \\n\\nTrinary systems and the chance for stable planetary orbits. Proxima Centauri. Globular star clusters as alternative for \\u201call light all the time.\\u201d
\\n\\n Bioraptors (the monsters) \\n\\nPredators on the \\u201ccicada cycle.\\u201d How the ecology of this world appears or does not appear to support this cycle. Slowly-heating stars and the shifting \\u201cgoldilocks\\u201d zone.
\\n\\n Riddick \\n\\nEyeshine! Light amplification or translation from outside of our cone of EM reception. Night vision. Replacing eyeballs with robust cameras. Ghost in the Shell and X-ray vision.
\\n\\n Glow-worms \\n\\nEvolving bioluminescence as a food-collection mechanism vs keeping away the flying death-machines.
