actually two of them.

Also "Tighten Up", from the first episode. I didn't realize it was a belter cover until it went up on KZfaq

All available on Spotify!

I love worldbuilding

Although I gotta admit part of me hates that they used Highway Star during that slingshot maneuver when Space Trucking was right there.

"Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you."

@@FaultyHammock8791 sudden deceleration or acceleration

It's not even true that suddenly stopping kills you. It's the different parts of your body stopping at different times that kills you. If you could make your entire body decelerate at the same time, you'd be perfectly fine. Falling isn't dangerous because the force of gravity, no matter how strong the gravitational pull might be, is applied to your entire body equally. What you want to do is "fall" in reverse when you hit the ground, instead of decelerating only the parts of you in contact with the ground. You could do this instantly with no ill effect, no matter how fast you were falling, if you could apply the force to stop yourself to your entire mass at once.

Started off not liking him, grew to love him as one of my favorites.

@@Lutavian “Belter ingenuity at its finest!” - Ashford

@@Lutavian TV Ashford alone justifies watching the show for book hardcore fans.. his character is just so much better in TV than book....

freakin' Eric, man. That guy has a sixth sense

Many a rock hopper will bear that young hero's name!

we need a split off series, Slingshotters : The adventures of Maneo Jung Espinoza

the slow blade pierce the shield , from Dune

Yea, really cool. Took me a few minutes of thinking about it before I came to that conclusion but Eric got it instantly.

@@mickys333 Eric got it instantly? So did Maneo. ;)

i never understood why the show tried to portray it as a mistery, in the books every other ship pretty much figured it out instantly.

​@@spbspb2413 I think it's not really a mystery, but you still cant be sure if you would survive if you entered slow. Especially because you still have no idea what (if anything) is on the other side. It's basically: If I drive against a wall with 100 km/h I know that I will die. But that doesnt tell wether I would survive the impact when driving 50.

@@spbspb2413 What? in the show right in the next episode the UNN Officer watching the replay is allready saying "his ship should had pancaked with him but it didnt..only him" so they were very aware at what had killed him and the mystery was why it had not happent to the rest of the ship...

they are both actual songs that were translated to Belter

That’s where they get you

You gotta go in SLOW

“You go into the room too fast, kid, the room eats ya.”

wich is not quite correct.. the Tachi registry was ECF-270 and hull number was 158

Yeah, I think it was mentioned he resigned but I gotta think his name was basically mud because of all the shit he let happen.

Finally

The first woman in any show that got both mine, my sister's, AND my mother to do double takes. 👍🏾👍🏾 Simp away!

thats me and bobbie lmao

This arc made me completely fall in love with the expanse but the eros arc hooked me

@@rostikskobkariov5136 yea eros definitely got me hooked with the show too. But this arc with the behemoth was always my favourite. It's what made the expanse my fav sci fi show.

Lol

Giggity

Drummer and Ashford dinamic is the highlight of the rest of this season for me.

Drummer is one of the best examples of adaption done right. Shes such an iconic character.

He really is bro

He's too fucking smart throughout the entire episode!

"smart"

He also made the Melba - Julie connection

What the hell, did he really just make that prediction? That's amazing

Worth saying that Holden has never seen that hat before either. What's that about?...

I gotta say, I liked the show's version of events much better than the books. The relationship between Show!Ashford and Drummer is wonderfully complex and nuanced. Neither one of them is right all the time, but they both have good reasons for what they do.

and the show cutted down a lot of time gaps .. In the books the time for the Donnager to catch up with the Knight was over 15 days...its like less than 1 day in the show.. the travel from Tycho to Eros was also 3 weeks.. its less than a day in the show.. and finally the voyage to the Ring was over 6 months..and over a year to get to Illus.. all quite reduced in the show (tought not so much in the later cases)

Do they mention if the ring has its own orbit around the sun?

@@xyfghter99 in the books it just kinda levitates above the sun without orbiting but I think in the show it has a circular orbit.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable moment when [Season 4 scientist] and Samantha Carter get to bond over mass destruction.

Thomas Prince*

@@rafaelsantosx, I wound up conflating the Thomas Prince and the Agatha King in my head. Thank you.

Would it be correct to say it instantly changes velocity but not inertia?

well delta-V is the capacity of a ship to change its speed ..doesnt apply to G loads for itself..

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps The inertia of the shell is arrested, however, not its contents.

@@sparrowlt The physics expression "delta-vee" is change of velocity. Going from one foot/minute to two feet/minute is a delta-v of one foot/minute. How quickly that change happens is Acceleration. So it is not the fall that kills you but the nasty delta-v when you come to a stop at the bottom.

@@LeeCarlson I wonder what would happen if you for a split second magically created a point of strong gravity right behind Maneo's ship when he's going as fast as he was going at that ring.

Right! Season 3 is maybe the best, but really love season 4

It's indirect Mass Effect vibes because they're both inspired by a common source: Frederik Pohl's Heechee Series (also known as the "Gateway" series after the first novel). So if anyone is looking for more of that, I'd recommend it.

@@Reedstilt - Thanks.

@@Reedstilt Wow, I did not know that. Definitely going to have to read those. Thanks man. 😊

It was Shedd who lost his head. :)

@@W0NK042 No, he didn't. He's absolutely correct. Pluto and a lot of the distant objects in our solar system are "out beyond the orbit of Neptune/Uranus", but they are on drastically different orbital paths than the other planets which are all on a relatively similar plane. Even for those other planets and the inner planets, being on a nearby orbit doesn't necessarily mean they are close by at any particular moment in time (or ever) because orbital periods lead to vast differences in closest and farthest approach. As an example, the orbits of Earth and Mars are right next to each other, relatively speaking and are on an almost identical plane, but the distance varies from 55 million to 400 million km depending on where they are on those particular orbits.

@@rabid_si: 🤦‍♂️ r/Whoosh

Yeah, I don't know if it's ever explained why, it's just that that is where it needs to be. The crazy thing it's not orbiting the sun, it's completely stationary.

@@leejs Do they ever mention in the show that it's stationary? I don't think they do

@@W0NK042 Uranus and Neptune's orbits are so huge, if you were on an orbit between them at their closest approach, you still wouldn't be able to see either of them with your naked eyes

Or Pandorum.

I've read the books and watched the show, and I always kinda thought that it was arbitrary? What's your spoiler-y theory, if you don't mind me asking?

Maybe it's designed to take its own orbit just inside the orbit of the outermost planet (Neptune in Sol) which would make it work with the "beyond Uranus" (next inward planet to Neptune) observation.
