So, here is my question - are we ever going to be able to create artificial gravity as they seem to have in most sci fi shows?

I have seen we have at least scientifically based theoretical ideas on shields, warp drives, etc., but not AG.

And without that, we have issues.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of Yoda as a character. He was imparting one final lesson on Luke here, that when it's one's time to die, one should accept it with grace and dignity, not try to prolong life unnaturally. Yoda's species is long lived, but still dies.

@StarWarsDaily_ Underutilized, great character.

@fandompulse So you haven't seen GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999), Die Another Day (2002), Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), and Spectre (2015) [uncredited]?

In each, M dominated Bond - well.

Over 20 years.

@FranklinH3000 Why are you doing this?

Why try to read behind what is directly said? Why not accept it at face value?

And btw, bny chance you might be right got destroyed by The Mandalorian.

@thethemonashow This.

@DarthNoob14 Absolutely. There are things to love about all of it. Let's associate with people who celebrate, not judge.

Signal acquired! 📡

Engineers at @NASAJPL have confirmed that the Orion spacecraft is communicating with the Deep Space Network. For the first time in over 50 years, we’re receiving a signal from a spacecraft carrying humans toward the Moon.

[Simon Tarses @TarsesSimon]

@StarWarsDaily_ 6. I am glad they made it and glad I saw it. It has some good and a few great moments.

Sad to see how a great opportunity came up short, but I felt the same way about the prequels.

For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.

At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. https://t.co/0Q9ZB4IWVI

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

[NASA @NASA]

The Orion spacecraft successfully separated from the upper stage of the rocket, and the "proximity operations" test is underway. The Artemis II astronauts are manually piloting Orion similarly to how they would if they were docking with another spacecraft.

Did you hear about the funeral home that got busted for raffling body parts off to medical school students?

Police said it was a dead giveaway.

@Loverism__ You look like as much of an asshole as you actually are.

Which is saying a lot.
