Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets: alien evolution, intelligence exaptation, and layered universes
International Space Station
Contemporary space station size comparisons. ISS transformation over time.
Alien life
Bipedalism. Bilateral symmetry. The assumption of humanoid structure in the “world.” Duck-billed Ferengi information brokers and neurological RAID modes.
Alpha Station
“Critical mass.” Vital stats. Population, demographics. Modular growth over time. Racial job specialization.
Alpha Station location and travel
FTL(?) via “exospace.” The plan to exit the solar system. The issues re planetary orbits when you build a brand new moon around earth with tons and tons of foreign (to the solar system) mass. Languages! 5,000+ languages are spoken on the station, not even including “computer languages.”
Mül and the Pearls
Beach-dwelling N’avi (with no tails). Math and science. Intellectual ability and exaptation of base rational abilities to science and math.
Space battles
Should they happen so near planets? Travel and planned space battle. Don’t fight on a planet because you’re vulnerable to Christopher’s favorite: the Brannigan maneuver.
The Fifth Element: space turtles, magic stones, and LeeLoo Dallas multipass: Decipher SciFi
