    No, I kind of just gave up altogether... Can I still watch it if I haven't watched the ones before it?

    I don't think that should be a problem. I'm not the greatest expert on Star Trek either.

    The series is a bit untypical for Star Trek anyway. Of course it plays in the universe but the makers interpret it relatively free. That's why some Star Trek fans don't seem to like it.

    I think I mentioned it in some other thread previously, but I never managed to get into Star Trek... I tried hard to enjoy the original series (we had reruns on tv) and The Next Generation, but I just can't. It's very unfortunate, as I love the concept and the ideas they came up with, but just can't stand the execution and campy acting... 

     

    Did you watch Star Trek Discovery? I think you might actually like that.

    For what exactly?

    Commercial Space Stations are being developed and financed by private companies and corporations, potentially in cooperation with various governmental agencies.
    Deep Space Gateway is being developed by the International Space Exploration Coordination Group which consists of numerous governmental and intergovernmental space agencies (led by NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, CSA, JAXA) in cooperation with some commercial partners.
    Various missions to Moon and Mars are being planned by numerous countries, state-owned enterprises and private companies alike.
    Asteroid mining is currently at a very early staged and is mostly being tested (as a concept) by private startups.

    So basically space exploration is a joint (inter)governmental and commercial venture, financed both by taxpayers of the countries involved and investments of various private entities. 

    Now you made me feel bad. I must admit didn't read your post at all, i just asked a smart question :ph34r:

    Watched Fantastic Beasts Crimes of Grindelwald. Apart from the final reveal, which basically sets up the next one nicely, the rest of the movie was bang average. 

     

    That's a nice concept to make 5 movies out of nothing.

    I only watched the first one.

    Probably the most complex structure ever built by humans which is slowly approaching its retirement... I wonder if we'll replace it with another constantly manned outpost in space. Bigelow Commercial Space Station seems to be the closest replacement for ISS; after all they have been testing an experimental module for over two years now and it's expected to stay attached to ISS for two more years at least. Axiom Space are also working on a similar autonomous space station. Once viable and affordable launch vehicles are readily available (SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing reusable rocket ships), there will be a big breakthrough especially when it comes to commercial space flight and commercial space stations. However, there are by far more interesting concepts and ideas being developed as the potential "next step". There are plans for a Deep Space Gateway, a lunar orbit space station which is intended to be used a jumping point to the exploration of the solar system. Going to the Moon itself is another big one, with various governments and private agencies and corporations planning to do that in the near future, and it's possible that we'll have a permanent Moon base relatively soon. Asteroid mining. Manned missions to Mars. I think we're entering the new golden age of Space Exploration at last; along with the usual suspects (i.e. USA, Europe, Russia), other countries have high ambitions and plans in development too, especially China and India. So exciting.

    Who's gonna pay for that?
