Goldilocks (Sci-Fi Short Film by Blake Simon)

[@eloquentsarcasm]

Imagine all the explorers throughout our history, landing on foreign shores, hoping to find wealth, land, freedom, hope. How many of them ended up on inhospitable shores, dying alone and hopeless far from home. Until one lucky soul finds a safe harbor, a paradise, or even just a place that is hospitable enough to support them. It takes a special kind of soul to risk it all in the slim hope of finding something better. Those brave, foolhardy, outright crazy pioneers changed our future, gave us new lands and opportunities (some squandered) and helped enable our species to survive and thrive, sometimes far from home. This film shows the next step in our journey, not just exploring a world, but MANY worlds, further from home than any before them. Outstanding work Blake Simon and team, a short but beautiful example of the human spirit.

[@blakesimonfilm]

This was a beautiful comment, thank you. We appreciate the kind words and support!

[@geoben9801]

Not unlike the people who risk their lives daily coming to America seeking freedom and a better life for their families and themselves. Undocumented they may be, but they just want the opportunity to live like human beings, with dignity and respect. After all, this nation was founded by immigrants without any papers whatsoever. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. ✨✌️💙🇺🇸

Hears a reality check.

@@blakesimonfilm Hi. About the plot. Why send a manned mission to physically land when a probe would be enough. In fact why even send a ship to a possible habitable planet. Why wouldn't the mission not just send probes to each candidate and then the manned ship only visits the good one

[@TheTransitmtl]

Plot makes no sense. If the planet she is on is at a temp of 500°f how are there trees. Why are they physically going down on each planet. She would have the necessary instruments to tell the surface temp from orbit

[@orhan6211]

500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees C for us on this side of the pond) doesn't allow liquid water, hence lush greenery or trees cannot exist. Apart from that, very nice film.

[@SunblokAnsand]

I came to this section for this point. 😁

[@dooleyjlt5503]

It could be as simple as a very long orbit period. That is elliptical or not centered around the star. Which would have a period of time in which the planet gets close enough for those kinds of temps. And then it moves back out to the Goldilocks zone. It might even move far enough away that it gets even farther to the cold side of supporting human life. I doubt research would watch and track a planet for a full rotation around its host star. It could have a period much longer than ours.

[@jake4974]

Yeah, that's a bit of a deal breaker unfortunately. But I agree other than that, nicely done.

[@dpye111]

A planet's orbit can be extrapolated after even minimal observation. They would know. And there is no orbit that would be stable enough for complex life to develop, and simultaneously so eccentric it would be subjected to solar cooking.

[@chenzenzo]

And 500 Fahrenheit shouldn't be anywhere near enough to burn through the hull of a space craft expected to breach our own atmosphere. Current NASA crafts can withstand 5000 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@saganandroid4175]

9:05 my only criticism is showing Earth-like forest, yet the planet is 500F. Not only would it seem unlikely that earth-like condition would evolve. I don't even know if you can have biology like that at 500F. The Goldilocks zone around deep ocean thermal vents is under 400F.

[@kayamusic5696]

Your point about the current understanding of biology and temperature limits is valid but life, as we know it, is based on Earth-like conditions. That doesn't necessarily mean other forms of life couldn't exist or evolve under different conditions. For example, extremophiles on Earth, like certain bacteria and archaea, thrive in environments far hotter than typical Earth-like conditions, such as hydrothermal vents exceeding 400F. If a planet were at 500F, and if we consider different biochemistries or adaptations, it's conceivable that some form of life, possibly plant-like, could evolve to survive in such extreme environments. Lifeforms might not use water as a solvent or might have entirely different cellular structures designed to withstand high temperatures. In speculative science, imagining what might evolve under different conditions expands our understanding of life's possibilities beyond Earth. So, while Earth-like forests specifically might not thrive at 500F, it's not impossible that a unique form of "plant life" adapted to such extreme temperatures could exist. It all depends on the chemical makeup and evolutionary paths taken.

Why would someone be offended or annoyed by what you said? If you thought it was stellar, who cares what they say about your entitled opinion. They're entitled to theirs as well but there's no need to say "dare I say" as in trying to apologize for your opinion and not offend, unless you're saying it bc you have a guilty conscience bc you really don't think it's stellar but trying to encourage the creators instead of putting down their film? Tbh I hope you genuinely thought it was stellar and maybe you didn't understand what "dare I say" means.

The actors did a great job topped off by the composer's wonderful music that you do not realize is taking your emotions to the full spectrum. I for one would love to see the full movie made. This is quality art and for me would stand out from what is out there today. I have signed up for Netflix a few times and eventually give up as there is so much crap being made. I spend 40 minutes trying to find something to watch and start only to leave after a few minutes. Your movie dragged me in in the first minute.

Thousands of light years apart but comms are instantaneous. From Asimov's Foundation onward, space travel fiction has always had to pretend that universal time proceeded at the observer's rate, and traveling between stars took little longer than a road trip across the USA.
