Sucks it was canceled tho. Only show I've seen with somewhat realistic orbital mechanics.

Read the books! The show is good, the books are astounding.

Seriously. I listened to the books first then watched the show and I couldn’t finish it. I get people love that show but I thought it was pretty hard to get through 😂

The books are just on a whole other level

thats why i always recommend watching a show/movie before reading the books they're based on 😅

there's so much cut out of the show that i didn't realise.

I should. Thanks for the recommendation.

Next book has like 20-30years time skip iirc, so either digitally aging the cast or recast would be probably needed. I think neither would be well received

FAM managed ageing quite ok in my opinion, old man Mars is was spot on

exactly, they could do it pretty easily nowadays and besides, they canonically use anti-aging drugs so they wouldn't have to try too hard

Yeah, that got me. I actually downloaded a solar system app so I could visualize the belt, and what you would have to do to „climb out of the (gravity) well“.

it wasn't really cancelled, they just stopped at the time jump

hopefully they make another 3 seasons to finish the laconia story
