Heads up: I won’t be tweeting any spoilers for at least 24 — and maybe even 48 hours after #FOUNDATION episodes air. I won’t even ‘like’ tweets w/ spoilers in that time.

However, my Monday videos will have spoilers, and I may bring up almost anything from the books at any time

@SawyerMerritt This is legit how Lego sets come together if you follow the instructions

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

Moon base house kinda makes sense for Florida’s Space Coast

I’m in a pickle: Do I read Rendezvous with Rama, and potentially lessen the potency of this movie in the process, or do I NOT read the books, and just watch the movie?

I read Foundation, have had to adjust to the TV adaptation

I never read Dune. Loved the movie. Each is diff 🤷‍♂️

[Film Facts 🎬 @Factsonfilm]

Denis Villeneuve says his upcoming sci-fi film ‘Rendezvous With Rama’ is ‘Arrival on Steroids’

@Stephen_Kent89 Maybe his apprentice picks up where he left off since she’s also trapped there? Maybe Ashoka picks up the trail too, and Sabine goes back to the familiar galaxy?

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

@DrPhiltill It picks up. The Cleon plot has a great twist and it’s not from the books at all. So, yeah, you have to suspend expectations of staying true to the original story, but to me it’s worth finishing the season

@johnkrausphotos We need life to be interplanetary so @johnkrausphotos can become the first exoplanet landscape photographer @elonmusk @SpaceX

@_jmackinnon Efficiency and innovation should also be priorities for any party!

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

@NASAExoplanets @NASAWebb @NASA @NASAUniverse @esa @csa_asc Strong @Foundation_ vibes here, and I’m here for it

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

@mcdougalp_lisa @Paracelsus I see this point. With this take, I think it would make a lot of sense to have given Rian something like a Rogue One or another tangential but great story.

That being said, I really enjoyed the Force diad (Rey/Kylo) and Luke’s finale (i.e., the most Skywalker-centric parts lol)

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

If this is what the most advanced, successful, well-resourced space flight company is coming up with, that’s a huge indicator of how difficult it is to achieve repeated operations off-planet.

Sci-fi loves to gloss over this with anti-gravity motors etc. The reality is so tough

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starship Super Heavy engine steering test

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

@Nullis_sum Hilarious you mention that. My now-wife was very hungover from Oktoberfest on that train ride to Berlin. She did not enjoy it like I did. I may never get to ride that train again 😂. And agreed, very much hopeful for the return of less stressful travel

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

Just gonna put this here. Happy Saturday, people

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

@MENA_Conflict Waddle Waddle Washington?

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

@AppleTV @Foundation_ Oh you don’t gotta tell me

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

All I want for Christmas is a successful launch of the James Webb telescope.

I’ve been nail biting about this thing for as long as I can remember, and now that anticipation has bubbled to the surface

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

@jmjawors @StarsEndPodcast Oh this is a big deal! I did not realize that. And thanks for watching / listening!

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

I’m like one notch of space nerd removed from naming my children after astronomical phenomena.

Me at 44: “Come, Magnetar, we have prepared your supper.”

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

@jblumenfeld100 Maiden TSA looool.

But this triggered a thought: Doesn’t Demerzel have to disappear into the shadows for a few seasons if we are to get a proper reveal to end a certain story line? This would break @asimovposting

[FoundationEra @FoundationEra_]

This was a lot of fun! You should check out @StarsEndPodcast — but not this episode if you want to avoid my ranting! Thanks for having me
