He's asking how young the girls in space are, and they're thinking about all of the Sci-Fi movies where the Earth blows up and astronauts have to watch it go.
All the sci-fi movies? Can I get some recommendations?
Not a movie, but a music video for a great song
Stuck in the Sound - Let's Go
I enjoyed that, thanks!
I would not have clicked if not for this comment.
Did you enjoy too???
I did. I even downloaded.
Such a banger song and video.
Woah. Thanks for this.
Dr. Stone technically counts
I have a book sort of like this. SevenEves by Niel Stephenson.
The book blows up (or gets hit or something). The dist will make earth uninhabitable within a few years. I want to say Seven Years. I remeber the SevenEves title has many possible "meanings" and I think years to collapse was one.
They basically work to get as many people as they can, which isn't many, into space working with the small crew of a (larger than ISS but not huge) space station. Including all of the logistics of food and housing.
They also have to manage it in a way as not to cause a panic because billions of people, will die. Because they literally cannot send everyone.
The first two thirds are pretty good, the lattwr third jump to the future and fallout and I hated that part, but the first part is good.
Like most of Neals books I found this book long and meandering, so I dropped it after a while, just wish he could better edit and pace his books. I enjoyed snow crash but every book of his I've tried since I could not finish.
I agree with this.
If you want someone with similar style stories that is less wandering, try Daniel Suarez.
I.S.S. is based on that, there was a Cloverfield spin off that was pretty similar, too. I'm sure there are a bunch more, and I'd be interested to see them, too.
That's literally the plot of The Shining. It's in Stanley Kubrick's hidden messages from the fake moon that he invented or something.
"DEFCON-4" leaps to mind (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087130/).
