As a child Doob wouldve assumed it was a lightning bolt. Now he interpreted all such events as incoming chunks of moon shrapnel. This one had passed within about three kilometers. A secondary boom, several seconds later, suggested that it had hit the ground, so, a relatively large piece.

TY: So, did you have to kill the previous Sonar Taxlaw in single combat or something?
ST: No, not in this case. My mentor was Ceylon Congreve.
LANGOBARD: Now, that is a lovely & distinguished name! Volume 3?
ST (eyeroll): 4.

It was Thanksgiving week…The scientists, politicians & .mil who had come to contemplate the end of days had tried to see the humor in the holiday…Doob was actually thankful…that Amelia had shown up in his life at exactly the moment when he most needed to have someone around. >

If #2024YR4 strikes the Moon in 2032, it won’t shatter our satellite (like in #seveneves) but a blast that big would fling dust and rock outward, spiking Earth’s micrometeoroids for days, hammering satellites and spacecraft with a storm of tiny, violent debris. 4.3% impact probability.
Dave Bowman in 2001 is ejected from the pod, crossing the vacuum of space to re-enter the Discovery's airlock. There is a small cloud of gas or dust that precedes him into the airlock.
Dave Bowman is now spinning in the middle of the airlock, unable to reach the control panel to close the airlock hatch.
Now Dave is floating upside-down from the camera's perspective, but he seems to be gaining control of his spinning and bouncing.
Dave has grasped something on the airlock bulkhead to stop flopping around and he is pressing the button to close the hatch and pressurize the airlock.
Tekla is rescued from her space tent thing:
T: That was uncalled for
DINAH. True
T: I shall be in trouble
D: So are we. We are all in trouble…with a bunch of dead people.
TEXAN VOICE: Margie, this dead surgeon would like you to clamp off that arteriole before it starts bleedin again.

In #SevenEves Venezuelan boats were part of a blockade threatening the Kourou, 🇬🇫 launch center with Stingers. Venezuela picked their Cloud Ark trainees at random, instead of aptitude, resulting in none of their candidates going to space. When V fired on rockets, Cal's USN boomer nuked the blockade.

I am excited by what genetics could do. I greatly enjoyed #Seveneves "a science fiction novel by #NealStephenson published in 2015. The story tells of the desperate efforts to preserve Homo sapiens in the wake of apocalyptic events on Earth"

Quiero una serie de #Seveneves y la película de #CitaConRama
EINSTEIN [cackling nervously]: I’m no replacement for Doc!
TY: You don’t have to replace him. Not in that sense. But look what you did. You made 1st contact w/these guys. [He nodded at Deep] & first contact of another kind w/the Diggers. [Both Einstein & Sonar Taxlaw blushed deeply]

During the announcement, he had seen a single #bolide streak across the sky south of them, a trail of white fire bright enough to leave a slow-fading blue streak in his vision, popping apart into two, then five discrete chunks before it all went over the horizon.

TEKLA: Problem is solved.
[She was fluent in English & perfectly capable of saying “The problem is solved,” but sometimes dropped the article for effect. Anglophones found this mysterious and impressive. It was also an implicit statement of Russian pride.]

The probability of a #YR4 moon hit doubled to 3.8%... It's even more interesting if you've read #seveneves 🙃
Having read #seveneves I am TERRIFIED of anything hitting the moon 🌖 😳
One of the things I think #seveneves does really well is describe the movement of objects and crafts in space. This is a feat considering it's so different from anything I've ever experienced and so have no point of reference to pull from #scifibooks
Halfway through #seveneves and so invested in the fate of the characters/human race. At the same time, I find the technical aspects of the book less charming than other #scifibooks I've read with technical science writing in them.
The thing I find so fascinating about #seveneves right now is how we don't really hear from the perspective of the everyday person. Even Dr. Harris on Earth is deeply enmeshed in the #scifi issues. It leaves it to the reader to imagine what would become important to you/what wouldn't matter anymore.
Everyone who's read #seveneves: wait, what?
