- I rarely don't finish a movie I start. This was awful. I think they thought that spilling stuff in the camera lens counted as special effects.lemmy_k

After directing Dune part 2, Denis Villeneuve will direct Arthur C. Clark's Rendezvous with Rama.
The story from Clarke, the writer behind 2001: A Space Odyssey, follows a group of human space explorers who are tasked with intercepting an alien starship that is hurtling through the solar system. It is believed that the missions will lead to mankind’s first contact with alien intelligence.

- Rama isn't a particularly good story. Groundbreaking concept at the time, but not much of a story.i_monk

Got another short story coming out soon about an art store owner who is breaking up with his girlfriend and is being visited by children that versions of himself from other dimensions have fathered.

The engineering team with NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is trying to solve a mystery: The interstellar explorer is operating normally, receiving and executing commands from Earth, along with gathering and returning science data. But readouts from the probe’s attitude articulation and control system (AACS) don’t reflect what’s actually happening onboard.
The AACS controls the 45-year-old spacecraft’s orientation. Among other tasks, it keeps Voyager 1’s high-gain antenna pointed precisely at Earth, enabling it to send data home. All signs suggest the AACS is still working, but the telemetry data it’s returning is invalid. For instance, the data may appear to be randomly generated, or does not reflect any possible state the AACS could be in.
