    Holden doesn't always make the "smart" decision, but he always makes what he believes is the "right" decision. Answering the distress call wasn't smart...but it was the right thing to do. If you don't go repair the antenna, you all die. His broadcast was insurance to make sure Mars didn't just make them disappear. Of those three decisions, two were smart...but all were right.

      There used to be a law in Alaska that it was illegal to not assist someone road-side (may have changed, this is via my parent’s stories in the 70’s). The theory is that it’s so sparsely populated, they might not see another person to render aid and it could be fatal for them. This seems like that type of situation.

    6:28 This is a common misconcept that the vacuum is sucking the air out of the spaceship, but it actually is the other way around. The pressure of the air inside is pushing outwards against the hull of the ship. When it find a hole in the hull it presses itself into the vacuum of space. Here on earth we have gravity that holds down and pressurizes the air.
    This is also the reason why sub marines and space ships use direct opposite styles of design. Sub marines need to keep pressure outside (water pressure trying to get in) while space ships need to keep the pressure inside (pressure trying to get out).
    While we are at sub marines, the combat in space is actually closest to sea combat. Battles are fought over vast distances with torpedos and railguns while machine guns with bullets are used as defensive measures to blow up incomming missiles (since we dont have any energy shields to protect us, right? ;D). So since space is so large and vast it would make sense that there would also be pirate space ships roaming it ;)

      This is not the same movie trope we see everywhere. As you can see they aren't being sucked out of the ship and the can move relatively well (considering they are under thrust). And they do a better job of portraying what would actually happen when the hull gets punctured in the next episode of i remember correctly.

      I mean, I'd be Holden about the distress call, with no regrets but it bears noting that moral and legal imperatives don't always align with practical and sensible ones.
      There was a threat of pirates and the loss of bonuses to consider. The first is a physical threat and -- given the nature of working in space, in this setting -- the second can be more important than simple greed.
      So, while I agreed with Holden's decision, I don't agree that it was the only right decision. It was merely the right decision for one value system. And there is more than one valid value system.

  • @geoffgreen2105
    @geoffgreen2105 4 роки тому +4

    Some hopefully helpful stuff that is fun to know:
    So you mention how hard on your body space travel is, and you're very right. Acceleration equal to 1 Earth Gravity (1G) is 9.8 meters per second, per second, that is to say every second, you travel 9.8 meters pers second faster than before. Just to keep it simple, we can round up to 10 m/s^2. So if you go twice that fast, 20m/s^2, someone who weighs 50 kilograms on Earth now weighs 100 kilograms. During the flip-and-burn maneuver on the Canterbury, they would have had to accelerate much faster to overcome all the momentum they had built up while traveling toward Ceres. Let's say it was an 8G maneuver, which is when they bring out the acceleration drugs. So someone who weighs 50 kilos at 1G now weighs 400 kilos, or about 882 pounds. Obviously, they can't maintain this forever, and roundabout 12Gs, you have a very good chance of popping a blood vessel in your brain and dying from a stroke. Any time a ship stops accelerating, the gravity goes away, and you're "on the float." This is why everyone wears the magnetic boots that attach them to the deck. Bear in mind, "stops accelerating" is not the same as "stops moving"! In space, Sir Issac Newton is the baddest ass motherfucker ever to live.
    Here on Earth, military fighter pilots have to train to handle G forces of 7 to 9Gs regularly, as the sharp turns and steep climbs their aircraft are capable of can cause a pilot to black out quite easily.
    A bit of a personal interest for you guys: In the book, we're told that Julie Mao is a brown belt in zero-G jiu jitsu, which is how she handled the guy who got too personal.

Its not physical pain like being burnt, or your bones breaking. Its more the feeling of eating wayyy to much food. And you blackout after a few seconds.

    From a logical standpoint, Holden was acting irrationally there. He saw his gf get blown up and is just purely acting out of revenge. Going after them for what? They showed they had ships that can fire nukes, so it's clearly a military type vehicle, while they are flying the equivalent of a pick up truck with no weapons on the ship or on them.

    24:44 Yeah, Ceres (pronounced like "series") is running low on water and the Canterbury was an ice hawler that was bringing ice from Saturn's rings to Ceres station. I wonder how the people on Ceres are going to react when the water the Cant was bringing doesn't get there.

    Love that you guys are into this show! I also love how the science is as accurate as possible. Seeing the birds flap their wings and float was cool! Makes you think twice about when we see aliens displayed in water tanks...maybe not for display but to simulate 0 G... Humans colonized the solar system. From earth to lunar cities to military compounds on Mars. To the asteroid belt in between mars and Jupiter for resources, Ceres being the largest asteroid in the belt. All 3 factions wanting to gain power over the other.

    One thing that's interesting to me about this show is how applicable some the lessons are to us right now. You can see some parallels in how the these factions interact and make political moves. It's interesting to think no matter how things change the humans stay the same in many ways.
    There's a lot of "world bulding" in this season. Every episode increases understanding of the Sol system. The Earth, Mars, Belter social-economic-political situation is part of the world building. Paying some attention to this now helps with later storylines and characters. I feel like Episode 6 is when the stories finally came together and world building kind of stopped being front and center. Such good stuff!

    You guys need to watch "The Worlds of the Expanse" on the Alt Shift X channel. It gives a GREAT overview of the different factions (Earth, Mars, Belt), their history, and the technologies at play, and it does so WITHOUT SPOILERS. Seriously, check it out.

    All of the water dumped from that barrel would be recovered in the air recyclers. Every molecule. But a barrel full of water is evidence. That much stolen water would probably get them executed. Think of it like a drug dealer flushing their stash when the cops kick the door in.

It's a character study, space and technology are simply just the back of the stage. If you make our group The North. Earth Kings Landing. And Belters The Wall. LOL you get the picture. It was never about dragons. But power. Anyways. You know what I mean.

  • @mscheese000
    @mscheese000 4 роки тому

    It's hard to depict in a TV show, but yeah Martians are supposed to be somewhat taller and thinner in general because they live in 1/3 the gravity of Earth, and Belters are taller and thinner still because they live in *at most* 1/3 G (like the inhabitants of Ceres, which gets its "gravity" by rotation) but many spend a good portion of their lives in weightlessness. The moons of Jupiter and Saturn are also inhabited, and there are science outposts on some moons of Uranus and Neptune although there is no permanent population in those areas.

    Yo, humanity hasn't made it to the nearest star (probably never will), let alone form a galaxy-spanning civilization, so all these humans are in the (mostly inner) solar system. For reference, the nearest star (which likely has no human-habitable world, let alone one with alien life, intelligent or otherwise) is >7000x farther than pluto... and Darth Vader had a super star destroyer named the Executor. This is a great show, glad you're watching it!

  • @alansmith7071

    Great reaction. Where do you get water if you live in space? This is what the Canterbury was doing it was an ice hauler ( collecting frozen water in space) but now it's destroyed so Ceres station ( this is the belters main home and trading centre) is short of water. Remember what the captain of the Canterbury said about they might lose their on-time bonuses!. In space water is more precious than gold. Keep the reactions coming. The show just keeps getting better. :)

  • @SayBinidus
    @SayBinidus 4 роки тому

    All of the non-artificial locations in the show are real places in the Solar System. Ceres is a real dwarf planet like Pluto, and the largest object in the asteroid belt. It's actual gravity is very low, but you may have noticed in the first episode that the surface of the station appears to be the floor when you get inside. In the series many of the asteroids have been "spun up" to create artificial outward gravity. The show never get into specifics, but for extra info Ceres spins fast enough to simulate Mars gravity, which is roughly 1/3 Earth's. Not all Belters have this luxury though, which is why many of them have growth problems.

    @Rob749s 4 роки тому

    The Belters are tall and skinny with bone density issues because of zero G. Mars' gravity is 40% of Earth's and is enough to let bones develop properly. They'd be pale from less sunlight, but that's about the only difference. These are your great great great grandkids, shits not going to get too crazy.

  • @caribbeanman3379
    @caribbeanman3379 3 роки тому

    And By the way the show is limited to our Solar System so talk about characters from other parts of the galaxy is inaccurate. I don't think light speed travel is even a thing in this show. But they do have the technology to accelerate to very high speeds which is why you see them putting in the mouth guard and injecting this champagne colored fluid. I think the rapid acceleration produces dangerously strong g-forces so the liquid probably serves to reinforce their body organs and/or blood vessels so that they don't get crushed under the insanely strong g-forces produced when accelerating to high speeds.

    @thatlonewolfguy2878 8 місяців тому

    Little correction, the ships that fired the missiles at the Canterbury had the stealth tech, Earth doesn't have it, nor does the Belt, hence why Avasarala called it "the holy grail" and why Earth and the main crew suspect Mars as the main culprit

    Martians are just humans that have colonized Mars. You also have met a Martian already. Alex is a Martian.
    Holden makes a lot of stupid decisions early on. He has a valiant boy scout tendency to want to try to fix things and make everything right. It's kind of annoying but also endearing when he gets a little smarter about it.

  • @Lia-uf1ir

  • @TheDetailsMatter
    @TheDetailsMatter 4 роки тому +4

    Holden is a pretty decent guy in general, but he tends to act impulsively and not think things through, like when he decoded and logged the distress call. Doing so landed him and his coworkers in this predicament. Now he's got his blood up, and wants to chase down the gunship that blew up the Cant, so that they can...do what? Read the bad guys a sternly-worded letter from the Pur-&-Kleen ice mining corporation? They're in a short-range shuttle with no weapons. (A damaged one, at that.) Vengeance isn't their top priority right now.

  • @mhobson2009

    I believe Nikki is right, the show is based on science so there's no reason to postulate Alien life forms like those from our Sci Fi classics.
