Lookout! Another sale is approaching! This time it's Valve's turn, with Steam having a space themed sale for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Some of the Linux native games on sale:

See the special sales page here. Additionally, there's a lot more space themed games on sale that aren't on that page, find them here.

There's actually some really good deals there, quite a few games at really low prices. This is coming only soon after their huge summer sale, it seems every store does a sale for every theme possible now, not that I am complaining it's good for my and your bank balance of course.

Regarding the moon shots, although I was around for earlier launches, the first Apollo launch I can remember would have been Apollo 13. I was sitting on the floor with my family in the living room. I can't remember what exactly I was thinking at the time, but my impression is that I was aware it was something important. I should ask my parents about watching the Apollo missions ...

Regarding the sale, there are some really good deals to be sure, but nothing that's tempting me to spend beyond what I've just spent at the Summer sale. I don't think I'm going to live long enough to play the games I already have.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThat's an odd "we", now that I think about it. I'm Canadian, and we never had the capacity, only the Americans did
Hey, don't talk yourselves down, eh?

Quoting: F.UltraSoon SpaceX will build the Falcon Super Heavy which will have capacity to send crews to both the Moon and Mars so there are still interesting times ahead!
Exactly. Although, as I understand it, Musk wants to skip the moon and go straight to Mars (before 2030, which, given the greater challenges involved, isn't that much further off than 1969 was when Kennedy announced his ambition). But I'm pretty certain Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin intends to go there.

(Also, since I'm posting YouTube links, for anyone interested in the AGC, this playlist is essential.)

Thanks for the shoutout! Oh, yeah, the whole Avro Arrow thing. Man I was pissed off with James Diefenbaker when I learned about that. We had the best damn fighter plane in the world, would have spun off to lots of Canadian high tech industry, and he canned it.

Quoting: chancho_zombieBut still that doesn't change my overall negative opinion on the soviets, on latin america they brought us the guerrilla, and funded the Cubans, and the Cuban militias trained local guerrillas like the ones we had here (montoneros), so I have a very negative opinion on the soviets.
(Sorry if I'm being off-topic)

In the same way USA, sponsored military coups. And it is't a binary problem (i.e. Russia vs USA), Africa is a showcase of how first world countries do nasty things just for the "profit"

Every one has a dark side...

Yes Musk personally wants to skip the Moon and head directly to Mars but SpaceX is a commercial space company so while they might be putting their own money into Mars, others are free to rent their rockets for other missions which is how they of course make their money.

That is why they list the BFR (Big Falcon Rocket) as having the following functions:

  • Mars colonization
  • Earth–lunar transport
  • Multiplanetary transport
  • Intercontinental transport
  • Orbital launcher
  • Space tourism


So Dead Space is soon coming :-)

Don't tell the CIA. I'm pretty sure they don't want the "Reds" to get all the credit for the mess in central/southern America.

Regarding the importance of exploring the moon, I had the honor to attend this talk, _very_ inspiring:
