I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.” While the series kicks off with the destruction of The Canterbury, it’s far from the last space battle in the series, none of which discount the “mind-bogglingly bigness” of it. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. “Massive” Space BattlesĪs Douglas Adams once said “Space is big. The planets are competing for resources from The Belt and The Belters are crying out for equality. Space is vast, dark, and dangerous, but characters motivations remain “grounded” and relatable. This might seem like just more technobabble but it’s an approach that extends to the storytelling. Unless your ship needs to maneuver quickly, in which case you’d better strap in, before the G-forces throw you around the ship and reduce you to pink mush. Spacecraft don’t have anti-gravity, with gravity provided aboard by the ship’s acceleration or deceleration, otherwise you need magnetic boots to get around.

It’s an approach that’s taken with almost every member of the cast.
