Great storytelling! The idea of humanity being forgotten, only to rise as a united and advanced force, hits so hard. The little details like the scarab from Egypt and the Roman coin, really gave me chills-they’re such a powerful connection to Earth’s legacy..And the tension was insane at the countdown in the end. I love how it balances the ethics of creation with humanity’s resilience-this story really deserves its own mini-series. Totally hooked!
Damn animal rights advocates. Because of them, I am here watching UA-cam videos, while I could have been out there in an interstellar spaceship, seeing who-knows-what incredible things.
If those sequence of events didn't happen exactly as they happened then you would not have been born. So no you would not be seeing the stars. Somebody who is not you (or me, damn it) might be though.
Appreciate how they took hominids from Earth, altered them, blanked them, then not realize that the fossil record would confuse the hell out of us. Well written sir.
By the sound of it, our evolutionary history is more or less what we know, its just the leap to homo sapiens was engineered rather than natural; it seems that the "missing link" species is kept in a preserve for study and conservation, but is native to Earth; its just that its extinct in its natural habitat.
when i was 13 i found a bunch of juvenile sci fi books, i have 5 of the 8 tom corbett space cadet series, i read them and years later i learned there was a 1950,s tv series, i loved them.

I used to read fiction like this back in the 80's. It was a game called starfire. Empire building in space with other players. There are still a lot of magazines online you can buy that have good fiction for star trek, traveller, dungeons, and ship creation. I have two storage bins full of them to go into now and then. Im always amazed at the amount of content, complexity, and diversity of world lines they contain. Starlog, nexus, traveller, Gurps, D&D and more than i can remember magazines had plenty of flavorful stories to add spice to any kind of campaign for roleplaying. You could probably play a game then make a book of it afterwards. Not many people play board games like starfire anymore. Im glad i came across this.😊
There are numerous books in the Starfire universe, written by the creator of the strategic rules of the game David Weber, better known for the Honor Harrington series of novels. He co-wrote the early books with Steve White. White has continued the series, first with co-author Shirley Meier (the Fifth Millenium series), and later with Chuck Gannon (contributor to Eric Flint's 1632 series and creator of the Tales of the Terran Republic series).

I read star trek long before it ever became a tv show. Also the conan series. Not everyone Is a silver surfer fan.
I think most of my magazines are mainstream. I haven't cataloged them but I know you can buy nexus, captains logs, dungeon, challenge, mech commander,Bayern,beanstalk, Unnight campaign, traveller, striker, d&d and more online if you know what to search for. Besides, my mags are not in good condition and only hold sentimental value.

You can hear in their voice their running out of breath.
This is Excellent! I'm 72, been reading Scifi since the early 1960s. I read all the scifi written from the 30s,40s & 50's too. This reminds me of some of the famous books written in the 1950's. I loved listening to this speaker. Really clear speaking. Very well done! Thank you, this was really exciting.

Wow, I usually never bother to listen to this kind of stuff but this was so well done, so interesting and the narrator's voice was perfect, before I knew it, I had listened to way into the story, and by now Ive downloaded to make sure I get all of it as I don't have much more time before I go offline for the night. This is probably the best sci-fi story I've heard in a long time, maybe ever. This is an awesome piece of work, please keep it up.

@@SankyEON That doesn't change the fact that it's well-written and well-told.

@@TyranasauruzFlex6669 Thanks for the comment and yep, I've noticed that, and it is the weirdest thing. Why are they here in the 1st place if they have such big issues with the AI-generated material? I agree that AI must be kept far away from the news and has no business there, but when it comes to sci-fi stories and any other fiction it is very usable and it's not like all the human writers suddenly are out of a job. PS: A long rant about AI. This development will not stop, there is too much money in it and it brings a lot of progress to medical sciences etc. And it seems to me a lot of people have a very poor understanding of what AI is. They seem to believe it suddenly will come to life and start making decisions on its own and don't seem to understand that it can never exceed the boundaries it's given and is basically just a lot of codes and algorithms. AI is a wet dream to a lot of hardcore sci-fi fans and a nightmare to many others, but in reality, it can never become anything as we see in the movies and it is not something worth worrying over unless it is used to create fake news, propaganda a.s.o. With or without AI I think we have to be much better at checking the sources and verifying things ourselves instead of just assuming the news is telling us the truth these days. We have experienced fake news without the use of AI and it will probably not become less of a problem now that AI is becoming part of our daily lives.
I think we can all agree than the Humans social and technological development has been nothing short of outstanding. However, one question remains - and it's a question that I feel is shared by the entire galactic council... ... how do they taste?
its been 5 fuckin hours, i feel i just found my new favourite sci-fi source, never thought I would listen to stories as I don't really like when someone is narrating , viewing and reading I prefer, but this is really good
You might want to go look up a pair of short stories, written by Alen Dean Foster. The first one is titled; With Friends like These... The second one is simply Who needs enemies, but the stories are from a pair of anthologies of short stories. The subject deals with what remains of the Galactic Federation, centuries after recovering from a War with a group they thought either long dead or so reduced in stature as to no longer be a threat to galactic peace ( And exactly how VERY wrong they were on the subject). Spoiler alert, the group the galactic federation was worried about were Humans, the war ended not with a defeat of the Humans but rather with the entirety of the Humans being sealed on their planet while their entire system was placed behind a sealing barrier one which can't be opened from inside the barrier. The short stories are amusing, and are a perfect example of a Cautionary Tale. The two anthologies were originally published by Ballentine Books in the late 1970's early 80's ( 1978 - 1981). Enjoy.
I was recently bemoaning the lack of science fiction, lots of science fantasy but not science fiction. Then I discovered this channel. I can breathe easy now.
An impressive story. It reminds me of the old stories I use to listen to on the radio many years ago. It is well written, engaging and most interesting.😊😊😊
This moment of seeing such a set of words , listening to the first chapter, dragged my mind into a sarga of fascination and off into a realisation and trepidation of the cold quite truth which I've heard before. This revelation of many storytelling from fear to hope to disparity of lost future's, within storielines. Brilliant narrative 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Enjoyed right to the end. This should be a short Novella, for it's simple metaphorica point!😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎 Australia has heard!
Absolutely captivating series! Couldn't stop watching. Can't wait for more episodes! By the way, I've recently embarked on my own 3D animation project in the sci-fi genre.
Stumbling upon your channel has been like uncovering a hidden gem in the cosmos of UA-cam. The way you orchestrate AI voices to breathe life into the tapestry of your sci-fi narratives is nothing short of stellar. It's a testament to the symphony of human creativity harmonizing with the rhythm of technological advancement. Each story you craft is a mosaic of imagination, an echo of the future whispered into the present. Keep navigating this labyrinth of innovation and storytelling - your channel is a beacon for all of us who revel in the marriage of science fiction and AI's limitless possibilities. Awaiting your next video with bated breath!
The good thing about the aliens is that they're as dumb as they come. One tries to pass itself off as the Egyptian God Horus and fails dismally. It then blabs top secret galactic secrets to the first human it speaks to. This makes a refreshing change from the usual advanced aliens depicted in past Sci-Fi stories.
When speaking from a position of power one can blab about much. Knowing that you can squash the recipient of the blabbed info without as much as a wrist flip.
I just found this channel and Love it. I believe that we are not the only sentient beings in the cosmos. If they are smart, they will not come planet-side. There are too many violent or fear minded people for their safety.
I love when the first line of the book grabs me. I am familiar with the reader who is excellent. Thank you, I am sure that I am going to enjoy this audiobook.
my coworker suggested this subreddit to me. i kept procrastinating, even though it sounded awesome, because i don't really reddit like that. then i woke up with my youtube algorithm auto-playing one of this channel's videos, re-reading an HFY story. and oh. my. god. can you say I N S P I R A T I O N? i can't tell if this is being read by an AI or not (which I suppose would be a compliment to the human, except for those weird mispronunciations), but i support it anyway
@@CASA-dy4vs Yeah I'm aware; they're mostly computer-voiced re-readings of R/HFY (reddit, from a subreddit named HFY aka Humans F*ck Yeah). They're more than 90% human-written. I doubt any of them are totally AI-written. I was commenting on the narrator's voice. I never thought these stories were *written* by AI. Artificial intelligence is currently not good enough at story-structure, and was especially not acceptable for it 9 months ago.
The algorithm brought me here, and I am glad it did. I’m a fan of “Humans are Space Orcs” stories, but this, this is something different. Thoroughly enjoyed this compilation, and look forward to going through your archives, and enjoying the content. One thing, though: you have obviously gone to great trouble to present these. So why is the text filled with so many errors? I ended up just closing my eyes, and listening, as I was being taken out of the story trying to reconcile the text with the audio. Other than that, I would just like to say, “Bravo”, and thank you. Cheers,
This is reminiscent of quite a few books I have read through the years. A lot of the same types of species and subject matter. It's missing a few details that I would like to know, but it's a fun quick first book/story in a series that i could get into.
45 years ago, a friend at Pace Highschool, created a complete comic book series that I swear is Talon. I was so impressed with her genius. I hope and pray that she made it to the big league. Sharon
I found this page by complete accident. I'm a PC Gamer but I also luv Sci-Fi. These 15 episodes remind me of an old PC Game called Masters of Orion. If you ever write a complete book of this I would gladly purchase it!!!
I liked the premise and story, I listened to the whole thing. I have some questions sure to be answered in future installments. What happened to the Criller? Who controls the 2/3 of the Galaxy that the Federation doesn't? With the Orions, the Federation should already know about human nature? Are there humans outside of Federation space? Why not send Orions with the first delegation, why hide them at first?
This was answered. Humans were extremely lethal. No matter what strategies were given and even some that the federation could not compete with (sic), humans were able to adapt and achieve victory. Essentially, the author said humans made the Criller go extinct.
I like it. Its doing a much better job already, and in its infancy, than the human thieves and criminals who are running things now have ever done. Welcome brother, I'm on board.😊
R. A. Heinlein and one of his “juveniles”, “Have Space Suit, Will Travel” has Earth and its population hanging in balance for developing too fast and being too short lived to learn wisdom. The story starts off with a comment on current education practices, introduces some BEM (Bug Eyed Monster) types, and the human protagonists saving the Earth. A good read.
This is actually really well written, i dont k ow how i got here, i dont look for this sort of thing but i am really glad i found it. Thoroughly enjoyed this story, thank you for sharing ❤
This was darn good. The only noted hiccup would be that the Galactic Federation (Which seems quite controlling and contradictory) having to vote on the human race existing within their Federation while already having humans (Orions) among them in every facet of their military, exploration, and even operational existence. Why would they object to a group already integrated with them? Unless this Federation, despite the seeming guise of unity, is actually an unstable unit that actually has an internal war that they are fighting (while looking down on humanity for their world wars though they developed then discarded humans..... for wars) The Federation in this book requires much revelatory fleshing out as to how they can make it seem like they are benevolent and aristocratic though actually full of nefarious actors and entities completely undermining the Federation itself. Despite these obvious points, again this is darn good and I would read this series while waiting to see how much more unfolds. Also, mildly sorry for everything I included. It's a fellow writer thing.
I’m glad somebody else noticed that which kinda tells me these stories were written by different people and not just one author. Would be the reason for inconsistency
I'd say hundreds, it's clear based on the supposed vastness of this federation. Using the sort of utopian style federation that appears in star Trek TNG.
Did I miss that part that makes it make sense that the Orions were already a major part of the federation for 150 years and the federation is just like “humans! We’re not supposed to remember you” and then “oh yeah, we already have such crap ton of you that your species already inspires the galaxy…..”
Frank Herbert wrote a similar short story where humans were extremely capable of violence , and were being visited by a shipload of anthropologists studying us.
If I recall correctly his series starts with a starship from the federation making first contact with a new civilization of humanoids, who are very human like, but not Human. The ship has a group of scientists who must reach a concensous before agreeing to share advanced science /social secrets. The one among the scientists who has the deciding word is the Anthrpologist, NOT the head of the group or the captain of the ship. Everything seem to be going along in a fine and peaceful manner until the anthrpologist runs across a group of "teens" playing a odd "game". His seeing their actions raises red flags, because while humans play similar games, the reasons are more militeristic than for fun. He then cast his vote for them to leave imediatlly! Sorry it's been almost 40 some years since last I read the book it's from. I may be mistaken, but I think the stories name is Concenous Interplanetary, but as I said it's been a bloody long time since last I read it.
An outstanding video. I wonder if and when this time comes in out future, will it goes as smooth as it did in this video. I will be happy when we get to go to the moon to live and the on to mars, and the rest of our solar system. Love these audio programs. (Mississippi Gulf Coast, USA).
Like most, I came by this coincidentally and I was captivated. I am 65 and I've harbored dreams of being among the stars since I was a boy and I believe we are not alone in this universe. My heart swelled as the story outlined humanities ability to love, its hopes, and resilience in spite of its world wars and cruelty. Indeed humanity has come far in so many areas and has the potential to rise to great challenges. However, if such a time came to access a Universal Galactic Fraternity, it would be reasonable for the criteria to require unity, harmony, and cooperation in diversity. Like the people of "Orion," whose captivity was a blemish to be rectified, humanity still has a long way to go before it is prepared to incooperate its "Orions" into its collective. This may not happen in my lifetime but it is inevitable. Thanks
Only problem i have with this story is the fact we share 99% of dna with our closest ancestors chims and slightly less with other primates. All mammals share the same bones just streched in different ways. This story implies we evolved on a different planet and dumped onto earth. There is now way in having a genetic code trillions of bits long almost identical to other earthly lifeforms just by chance. You can track evolution of all beings on earth simply by small changes in dna over millions of years.
after the war , ruling bodies would do serious George Orwellian history changing & soldier memory alterations before ' storing ' our people where they'd evolved in the first place, after all, look how the history of Hitler is blurred in Germany. Japanese attack on Pearl harbor & everything leading up to it no longer in their history .etc.

I agree that AI must be kept far away from the news and has no business there, but when it comes to sci-fi stories and any other fiction it is very usable and it's not like all the human writers suddenly are out of a job.
PS: A long rant about AI.
This development will not stop, there is too much money in it and it brings a lot of progress to medical sciences etc. And it seems to me a lot of people have a very poor understanding of what AI is.
They seem to believe it suddenly will come to life and start making decisions on its own and don't seem to understand that it can never exceed the boundaries it's given and is basically just a lot of codes and algorithms. AI is a wet dream to a lot of hardcore sci-fi fans and a nightmare to many others, but in reality, it can never become anything as we see in the movies and it is not something worth worrying over unless it is used to create fake news, propaganda a.s.o. With or without AI I think we have to be much better at checking the sources and verifying things ourselves instead of just assuming the news is telling us the truth these days. We have experienced fake news without the use of AI and it will probably not become less of a problem now that AI is becoming part of our daily lives.
Such a cool story!
Well done - I just happened to come across this and was hooked.
Listened to the whole thing in one sitting.
😮 I'm so glad for this beautiful story .I wish this could be transferred into a movie or series . Absolutely wonderful ❤
FACINATING CONCEPTUALIZATION.
This story is getting saved on my device. It was very good, and I look forward to the next set of chapters
I think we can all agree than the Humans social and technological development has been nothing short of outstanding. However, one question remains - and it's a question that I feel is shared by the entire galactic council...
... how do they taste?
With our tongues, obviously.
Roflmao
I'm told much like a fattened pig.
Lol too funny
Shared by cannibal tribes, the answer appears to be pork, but sweater.
its been 5 fuckin hours, i feel i just found my new favourite sci-fi source, never thought I would listen to stories as I don't really like when someone is narrating , viewing and reading I prefer, but this is really good
You might want to go look up a pair of short stories, written by Alen Dean Foster. The first one is titled; With Friends like These... The second one is simply Who needs enemies, but the stories are from a pair of anthologies of short stories. The subject deals with what remains of the Galactic Federation, centuries after recovering from a War with a group they thought either long dead or so reduced in stature as to no longer be a threat to galactic peace ( And exactly how VERY wrong they were on the subject). Spoiler alert, the group the galactic federation was worried about were Humans, the war ended not with a defeat of the Humans but rather with the entirety of the Humans being sealed on their planet while their entire system was placed behind a sealing barrier one which can't be opened from inside the barrier. The short stories are amusing, and are a perfect example of a Cautionary Tale. The two anthologies were originally published by Ballentine Books in the late 1970's early 80's ( 1978 - 1981). Enjoy.
I remember those.
Alan Dean Foster's Series.....I read them all !
First Editions all.....My X burned My Whole Sci-Fi Library !
@@fredflinston41 Did you have much trouble disposing of the body?
@@fredflinston41Sounds like your ex was related to mine lol He burned my collection too
Absolutely enjoyed this Sci fi podcast. Thank you to the author and producers. Thanks to the reader of the podcast.
I really want to hear the continuation of this story!
Great use of AI, all ‘round. Terrifyingly so. Well done/shared
Timestamps would be great! Really good writing. I like it. I was looking for the actual book, to buy it!
I was recently bemoaning the lack of science fiction, lots of science fantasy but not science fiction. Then I discovered this channel. I can breathe easy now.
This is so good... I would love to see this made into a TV series.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your super thanks! It's very much appreciated, and I'm glad you're enjoying the stories.
An impressive story. It reminds me of the old stories I use to listen to on the radio many years ago. It is well written, engaging and most interesting.😊😊😊
This moment of seeing such a set of words , listening to the first chapter, dragged my mind into a sarga of fascination and off into a realisation and trepidation of the cold quite truth which I've heard before.
This revelation of many storytelling from fear to hope to disparity of lost future's, within storielines.
Brilliant narrative 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Enjoyed right to the end.
This should be a short Novella, for it's simple metaphorica point!😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎
Australia has heard!
Absolutely captivating series! Couldn't stop watching. Can't wait for more episodes! By the way, I've recently embarked on my own 3D animation project in the sci-fi genre.
Stumbling upon your channel has been like uncovering a hidden gem in the cosmos of UA-cam. The way you orchestrate AI voices to breathe life into the tapestry of your sci-fi narratives is nothing short of stellar. It's a testament to the symphony of human creativity harmonizing with the rhythm of technological advancement. Each story you craft is a mosaic of imagination, an echo of the future whispered into the present. Keep navigating this labyrinth of innovation and storytelling - your channel is a beacon for all of us who revel in the marriage of science fiction and AI's limitless possibilities. Awaiting your next video with bated breath!
How about he uses his own voice, because listening to the most used AI voice on the internet is grating my brain, it sounds horrible too.
@@casimirtrasta5834how about you start your own channel and do that🤷♂️
That was awesome. A great well paced opera. Left me wanting more.
In reality the UN would totally botch this.
If not the UN, the people of Earth sure would!! Imagine the response of just the organized religions of the planet.
My name is Talon
In reality the un probably would have to be dissolved and something new to take its place
Yeah it's just a rogues gallery of a comic book at this point.
@@oldman9642Likely denial and outcries of lies or people asserting it's a ploy to indenture our species to them.
The good thing about the aliens is that they're as dumb as they come. One tries to pass itself off as the Egyptian God Horus and fails dismally. It then blabs top secret galactic secrets to the first human it speaks to. This makes a refreshing change from the usual advanced aliens depicted in past Sci-Fi stories.
When speaking from a position of power one can blab about much. Knowing that you can squash the recipient of the blabbed info without as much as a wrist flip.
Stellaris fan by any chance? Quite enjoying the story so far. Well done!
Also, subscribed!
I just found this channel and Love it. I believe that we are not the only sentient beings in the cosmos. If they are smart, they will not come planet-side. There are too many violent or fear minded people for their safety.
I love when the first line of the book grabs me. I am familiar with the reader who is excellent. Thank you, I am sure that I am going to enjoy this audiobook.
Ty youtube recommended videos. This was fantastic listening and does make a man look upwards a bit longer at night.....
Absolutely awesome story, I've been a fan of sifi all my life, so I'm totally into every word of it, I'm looking forward to hearing the whole series
why do you say "fiction" 😁
fun reading but would not buy ,it is a old and much used idea and plot.
Muy interesante y muy bien narrado! Voy a seguir escuchando otros mas. Gracias x compartir
Found this on tick tok and looked it up here on UA-cam love the longer stories good for long drives
This is so nice to listen to and consider for me. Calming. I like to combine with games and just thinking about it.
Like the story. The author seems to repeat things a lot and clearly has favorite words for things.
One may manfully resist untoward criticism.
This channel is fire. It always has an interesting twist to sum things up! Well done!
my coworker suggested this subreddit to me. i kept procrastinating, even though it sounded awesome, because i don't really reddit like that.
then i woke up with my youtube algorithm auto-playing one of this channel's videos, re-reading an HFY story.
and oh. my. god. can you say I N S P I R A T I O N?
i can't tell if this is being read by an AI or not (which I suppose would be a compliment to the human, except for those weird mispronunciations), but i support it anyway
I hope it's AI this gives creators more tools.
The voices are AI but 90% of the stories are written by a human
@@CASA-dy4vs Yeah I'm aware; they're mostly computer-voiced re-readings of R/HFY (reddit, from a subreddit named HFY aka Humans F*ck Yeah). They're more than 90% human-written. I doubt any of them are totally AI-written. I was commenting on the narrator's voice.
I never thought these stories were *written* by AI. Artificial intelligence is currently not good enough at story-structure, and was especially not acceptable for it 9 months ago.
Love the narrator!! Cool story. Very “binge-able”
The algorithm brought me here, and I am glad it did.
I’m a fan of “Humans are Space Orcs” stories, but this, this is something different.
Thoroughly enjoyed this compilation, and look forward to going through your archives, and enjoying the content.
One thing, though: you have obviously gone to great trouble to present these. So why is the text filled with so many errors? I ended up just closing my eyes, and listening, as I was being taken out of the story trying to reconcile the text with the audio.
Other than that, I would just like to say, “Bravo”, and thank you.
Cheers,
I'm halfway in to it and it's amazing ,Bravo, have you ever thought of making a video game around this story !?
This is reminiscent of quite a few books I have read through the years. A lot of the same types of species and subject matter. It's missing a few details that I would like to know, but it's a fun quick first book/story in a series that i could get into.
any good scifi recommendations?
That was an awesome story!!!!! We pulled a Space Hustle!!!!
SPOILER!
I imagine falco from Star Fox...😅
This story was amazing!!!
45 years ago, a friend at Pace Highschool, created a complete comic book series that I swear is Talon. I was so impressed with her genius. I hope and pray that she made it to the big league. Sharon
I would love to see this turned into a movie! 😊
it is a movie.. promethius.. or for the real version.. viper tv sumerian tablets.. this is our tru beginings.. genetics,,
I wonder why it hasn’t?
@@alistairkewish651because we are living it... 🫂☮️
It’s such an interesting story. It reminds me of several aspects of Star Trek yet with originality of its own.
Great story!
Cheers for sharing.
What an unexpected delicious delight for the mind. I've just stumbled on this and ha e never heard of this content provider before now.
I found this page by complete accident. I'm a PC Gamer but I also luv Sci-Fi. These 15 episodes remind me of an old PC Game called Masters of Orion. If you ever write a complete book of this I would gladly purchase it!!!
I love this audio presentation.
Wow! Amazing story telling. very engaging, imaginative and fun to listen to.
I applaud you in this story for using the correct meaning of the word destiny show me these stories misuse that word
I liked the premise and story, I listened to the whole thing. I have some questions sure to be answered in future installments. What happened to the Criller? Who controls the 2/3 of the Galaxy that the Federation doesn't? With the Orions, the Federation should already know about human nature? Are there humans outside of Federation space? Why not send Orions with the first delegation, why hide them at first?
Feels like ChatGPT when it ads suddenly new element that makes big changes, while still being all positive and optimism.
This was answered. Humans were extremely lethal. No matter what strategies were given and even some that the federation could not compete with (sic), humans were able to adapt and achieve victory.
Essentially, the author said humans made the Criller go extinct.
This story is freaking AMAZING! I'm only on Part 9!!! I LOVE IT!
I'd actually like to see this as an actual movie and it would be quite an unusual movie too!
I bet they would screw it up.
@@robert5 Well? Who knows and hopefully they wouldn't screw it up! Hmmm! 🤔🤔
And could even be a trilogy, ending with (or including??) Captain Archer
ChatGPT writes so well! This is good!
A very tired plot and an equally tiresome artificial voice.
@@PhilJonesIII See what I mean? It's almost like a real human responded to me! lol
@@TheAnax How did you know? Damn! My chips are showing.
The Vatican was cross and the Muslim clerics were catatonic with rage.
lol the Christians were cross, the Muslims were crescent fallen, the Jews were burned out, the Buddhists were enlightened.
There's nothing in this story that threatens or disrupts Catholic theology.
Haha
I like it. Its doing a much better job already, and in its infancy, than the human thieves and criminals who are running things now have ever done. Welcome brother, I'm on board.😊
I have thoroughly enjoyed these stories. Binge watching them recently. Well written and very prevocative. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
R. A. Heinlein and one of his “juveniles”, “Have Space Suit, Will Travel” has Earth and its population hanging in balance for developing too fast and being too short lived to learn wisdom.
The story starts off with a comment on current education practices, introduces some BEM (Bug Eyed Monster) types, and the human protagonists saving the Earth.
A good read.
he's my favorite!
This is actually really well written, i dont k ow how i got here, i dont look for this sort of thing but i am really glad i found it. Thoroughly enjoyed this story, thank you for sharing ❤
This was darn good. The only noted hiccup would be that the Galactic Federation (Which seems quite controlling and contradictory) having to vote on the human race existing within their Federation while already having humans (Orions) among them in every facet of their military, exploration, and even operational existence. Why would they object to a group already integrated with them? Unless this Federation, despite the seeming guise of unity, is actually an unstable unit that actually has an internal war that they are fighting (while looking down on humanity for their world wars though they developed then discarded humans..... for wars)
The Federation in this book requires much revelatory fleshing out as to how they can make it seem like they are benevolent and aristocratic though actually full of nefarious actors and entities completely undermining the Federation itself.
Despite these obvious points, again this is darn good and I would read this series while waiting to see how much more unfolds.
Also, mildly sorry for everything I included. It's a fellow writer thing.
I’m glad somebody else noticed that which kinda tells me these stories were written by different people and not just one author. Would be the reason for inconsistency
41:02 so does the federation have 327 distinct member species? Or 3? Or 27?
I'd say hundreds, it's clear based on the supposed vastness of this federation. Using the sort of utopian style federation that appears in star Trek TNG.
42
Great listening while driving from Florida to Albuquerque...! ❤
"It's a cookbook!". I mean, audiobook. Sounds like it's right out of the 50s.
if it was a book i wouldnt have been able to put it down i find it a thinking mans book or story but with a great design bravo enjoyed it
Love this series. This should be a netflix series...
Scfi doesn't make enough $ so Hollywood puts it on a lower shelf.
Nice to hear Brayyys voice reading something other than fb ads and clickbait lol. Love that guy ever since listeneing to the martian like 80 times
Oh no. What have I done? A captivating sci-fi story in mid-creation. I'm doomed! I already feel the itchy need for my next fix man.
Did I miss that part that makes it make sense that the Orions were already a major part of the federation for 150 years and the federation is just like “humans! We’re not supposed to remember you” and then “oh yeah, we already have such crap ton of you that your species already inspires the galaxy…..”
Frank Herbert wrote a similar short story where humans were extremely capable of violence , and were being visited by a shipload of anthropologists studying us.
If I recall correctly his series starts with a starship from the federation making first contact with a new civilization of humanoids, who are very human like, but not Human. The ship has a group of scientists who must reach a concensous before agreeing to share advanced science /social secrets. The one among the scientists who has the deciding word is the Anthrpologist, NOT the head of the group or the captain of the ship. Everything seem to be going along in a fine and peaceful manner until the anthrpologist runs across a group of "teens" playing a odd "game". His seeing their actions raises red flags, because while humans play similar games, the reasons are more militeristic than for fun. He then cast his vote for them to leave imediatlly! Sorry it's been almost 40 some years since last I read the book it's from. I may be mistaken, but I think the stories name is Concenous Interplanetary, but as I said it's been a bloody long time since last I read it.
Very nice to meet you, User.
Do you remember the name?
Great story man! Is there anymore? Man I wish I had money! Just Subscribed!
amazing story
An outstanding video. I wonder if and when this time comes in out future, will it goes as smooth as it did in this video. I will be happy when we get to go to the moon to live and the on to mars, and the rest of our solar system. Love these audio programs. (Mississippi Gulf Coast, USA).
Story is too good to be true, how long before the humans end up in the cooking pot?
Like most, I came by this coincidentally and I was captivated. I am 65 and I've harbored dreams of being among the stars since I was a boy and I believe we are not alone in this universe. My heart swelled as the story outlined humanities ability to love, its hopes, and resilience in spite of its world wars and cruelty. Indeed humanity has come far in so many areas and has the potential to rise to great challenges. However, if such a time came to access a Universal Galactic Fraternity, it would be reasonable for the criteria to require unity, harmony, and cooperation in diversity. Like the people of "Orion," whose captivity was a blemish to be rectified, humanity still has a long way to go before it is prepared to incooperate its "Orions" into its collective. This may not happen in my lifetime but it is inevitable. Thanks
Only problem i have with this story is the fact we share 99% of dna with our closest ancestors chims and slightly less with other primates. All mammals share the same bones just streched in different ways. This story implies we evolved on a different planet and dumped onto earth. There is now way in having a genetic code trillions of bits long almost identical to other earthly lifeforms just by chance. You can track evolution of all beings on earth simply by small changes in dna over millions of years.
Its not real. Just enjoy it without picking it apart.
after the war , ruling bodies would do serious George Orwellian history changing & soldier memory alterations before ' storing ' our people where they'd evolved in the first place, after all, look how the history of Hitler is blurred in Germany. Japanese attack on Pearl harbor & everything leading up to it no longer in their history .etc.
Mannnn been waiting for that 😊😂😅😊😮😢
Oh wow within the first 45sec, this had me
Storm clouds on the horizon... Subbed!
Thank you.
About the revaluation that earth is a reservation…it would take literally weeks for the Native American community to stop laughing our asses off.
