Sci-Fi Short Film "Telescope" | Throwback Thursday | DUST

[@Astronomator]

What a great film. The astronomer's decision to proceed farther from Earth, though it will be his last act, so he can see it in the more distant past and perhaps get a glimpse of life, is both heartbreaking and life-affirming. Well done.

[@FactTalkOfficial]

"The day will come when people will look back through space and time to witness what we once were, peering into the abyss. The abyss appears to return our gaze." These lines are so captivating!

all that sophisticated computer equipment, and they are still working in DOS screens! VIVA la Commodore computers!

[@pianoman1379]

Science fiction is derived imagination from that point in time, none of us can imagine what things will be like let alone how far we can advance with technology, heck, in Space 1999 tv series they thought we would be living and working on the moon

[@AffordBindEquipment]

@@pianoman1379 the year is 2183. so the civilization in the vid can develop space drives that will take them 75 light years into space but still in DOS screens? Don't know when this was first released, but whoever designed the set with "derived imagination" can do some amazing computer graphics but couldn't conceive something past DOS? DOS was released in 1981. The first version of Windows was 1985.

[@andrewjenery1783]

Very enigmatic and engaging and certainly food for thought.

[@roccov3614]

The only thing that threw me off was the year. I might have believed 3183 but not 2183. If we ever develop faster than light travel (if it's even possible) it will be in the far, far distant future; not in a couple of hundred years.

[@starcraft2own]

The difference between the 1800, 1900 and the 2000 are staggering. Who knows what 2100 is going to hold? It's not like we could even imagine how the world would look in a hundred year with any level of accuracy for back then, so why would we be able to now? What if science figures out how to manipulate quantum physics in 2120, how then would you be able to predict the advancements in the next 60 years from that point. Hell, the world might be entirely automated by 2100's, so just imagine the advancements an unshackled humanity could do in a hundred years after that. I wouldn't at all bet on a future where there isn't a lunar and mars colony so massive they will be considered independent celestial powers by the year 2183.

[@RandomGamer-qy6ys]

Faster than light travel is at most 50 years away due to new discoveries in energy confinement we’d only need the mass of Jupiter in energy to travel Ft L which a fusion reactor could push out if maxed out

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

I agree. The Alcubierre drive works, in theory, but it needs an insane amount of energy. And still, that drive would be extremely slow to travel between stars, even at many times the speed of light. Good for traveling between planets in the same solar system, but still slow for interstellar travel. I am more concerned about the premise, not original and based on the myth of the scarcity of resources. A natural disaster as the premise would be something refreshing for a change. I am tired of being lectured to be honest.

[@starcraft2own]

@@RandomGamer-qy6ys Wait hold on, what do you mean a fusion reactor could produce the mass of jupiter in energy? What kind of timeframe are we talking about?

[@vryusvin3905]

In my opinion, it was a drawing of Earth as it appeared with continents and without the dense clouds obscuring the surface (which I figured were from whatever disaster befell the planet). A representation of what it would look like when there was life there, so he would know what to look for.
