This had hitherto been a contest between the sci-fi future and the fantasy past

I also think of it as interior space/dragon and exterior space/space, though? Like space is gonna make us as we know "us" obsolete, or so different that we won't know where we came from. (I was thinking the other night while wringing out laundry about what a world without gravity or with very weak gravity would be like, and realized the differences in how we would live were eclipsed by the greater differences in what would have evolved as "human" in the first place.)

Whereas dragons are gonna show you what was already in you that you didn't even know about; primal, secret things.

"Some legends even speak of the dragons being a comet from space and this is definitely another additive to this scenario due to the fact that comets usually accompany fire."

predator vs dragon

I feel like space would only be palatable if FTL travel was provided. otherwise it'd be a BIG BORE.

dayo, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:33 (twelve years ago) link

"Are we there yet?"

M. White, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:37 (twelve years ago) link

FTL is a vague term with vague outcomes, stasis probaly the way fwd imo

xp - And then what, a dragon? Everything is a journey, you will never get there.

La Lechera, former application inspector for the (league of women voters), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:42 (twelve years ago) link

think about all the space pollution space travel would bring - what if we changed the universe from a red shift universe to a blue shift universe because people were choosing mass produced spaceliners from betelguese V instead of artisanal, locally sourced cruiseships from alpha centauri?

in dragons, no one can hear u scream

mookieproof, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:45 (twelve years ago) link

Outside of a dragon, space is a man's best friend; inside of a dragon, no one can hear u scream.

Making like Melusine (Pyth), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:47 (twelve years ago) link

also we are already experiencing space, every day! do you know how much space there is between an atom's nucleus and its electrons?????? think of all the atoms in your body!!!!!

dayo, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:48 (twelve years ago) link

LOL

M. White, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:49 (twelve years ago) link

For all we know, dayo, part of that immense space is inhabited by infinitesimally small dragons

M. White, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:50 (twelve years ago) link

I call them...dragtoms

dayo, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link

I was about to google for cats in drag before I remembered I was at work

OH NOES, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link

clearly the superior way to travel thru space is on a dragon

daramaracas.jpg (p much resigned to deems), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:55 (twelve years ago) link

do you know of the old proverb that revenge is a dish best served cold? it is very cold in dragons

mookieproof, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:05 (twelve years ago) link

xxp you need to change jobs to one that allows you to do that during working hours, preferably as part of your job description.

also, late but here it is:

I'm an alien
an illegal alien
At a KFC
in New Yo-oooork

yes this is the real (snoball), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:21 (twelve years ago) link

i mean, how would you categorise aliens that look like kfc?

"They must have looked something like a roast chicken."

yes this is the real (snoball), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:27 (twelve years ago) link

Oh, and here's that dragon in space that deems mentioned. (Just look for a U-shaped line of stars around the Little Dipper.)

Those results look approximately right.

Fotherington Thomas, Friday, 2 December 2011 10:13 (twelve years ago) link

if it came to a fight the average dragon would pwn space imo
