Good news! You're heroes!

Bad news. Everyone's a hero, since it's a communist society where everyone is eager to add their own unique contribution to the common good. Everyone has a Hero! plaque on their wall.

Spoilers for a decade old movie.

Kinda? In interstellar, the crew lives decades of earth-time while traveling space over what seems like a few years. The solution that is revealed when McConaughey returns is the result of decades of study spearheaded by his own daughter.

So it's a bit inverse in some ways.

Sounds like galaxys edge

I really like how the web serial Sideways in Hyperspace handles this problem.

In short, the faster ships catch up with the slower generation ships, facilitating trade, arranging transport for those who want to leave, and allowing them to become extrasolar cities and stepping stones to the wider galaxy.

Damn this story looks cool as fuck. I wish there was an audiobook

Horror movie idea, this concept but when the second humans arrive, they find the human civilization that got there first was wiped out before they got there and they don't know why.

That's the plot of the old 90s pc game Alien Legacy.

Broette.

Follows the Toad & Toadette pattern. I dig it.

bro and or broette

Personally I quite like "bruh" as the gender-neutral version of "bro".

Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time series is a lot along those lines.

There is a very similar Stargate Universe episode too.

Thats kinda like Planet of the Apes

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh dang, it is. I actually haven't watched planet of the apes tbh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Its not a bad flick, gotta watch it keeping in mind when it was made but worth the time to get a bunch of cultural references
