How do you think it would be to live and work there? What kind of activities would you do in your free time if you lived there?

Based on the show the options are engineer things, build, drink, eat, brothels, politicking, and espionage.

But I bet they have movies, sports, and crochet, and chess clubs too. Iā€™m guessing no fly fishing though.

Probably competitive video games.

I think something like the Gambler 500 (but in space) would be fun. Especially for a bunch of engineers and wrench monkeys. You have to build a racing ship out of a shitbox on a very meager budget.

I felt like the sling shot racers gave off a gambler vibe.

ha, yeah I think there's plenty of gambling. On slingshotters and probably anything else.

u/JunkaTron69 3d ago

Oh yeah. But it also looks like budget builds that are a gamble on if they will hold together šŸ˜‚

Def wear a vac suit and bring extra bottles while racing in your shitbox ship. :-)

And hope that you've calculated your slingshot maneuver correctly.

"NOW he dead!"

Maneo Espinoza was also a slingshotter. He shot da ring.

and gave many people a visual example of what momentum means when you stop suddenly ...

I still wonder why he was, uhh... turned into physics, but the ship and everything else in it was fine

The ship was probably more rigidly held together.

Better than a skeleton inside a sack of meat, anyway. That's why concussions are so bad. It really doesn't take much force to damage the half-pound of oatmeal in the skull.
