A passing Visitor spacecraft finds the either Voyager 1 or Voyager 2. They take it in, thinking it is a piece of junk, only to notice the primitive parts and equipment behind it, then they take it to their destination for study (likely an Oort Cloud colony). A few weeks later, they figure out how to play the Golden Record, and the opening message by the UN SecGen plays to the Visitors as sad music is played in the background.
As the film/television series ends, the screen slowly fades to black and the voice of the UN SecGen slowly fades until finally........the credits roll.
So, volcanoes in that planet along the coastlines + mini-Hawaiis everywhere = more CO2 and SO2 in the atmosphere (and a thick one as well).
Here is the planet’s atmospheric composition: 17% O2, 4% CO2, 3% SO2, 75% N2 and 1% everything else, including H2O, O3, Ar, you get the point.
7% of the planet’s atmosphere being CO2 + SO2 = bad, right?
If life can adapt to these conditions...........what would it look like?
@Shalvenay? Using the information I provided + the information I am about to provide and the real world data, what can we say that life would look like there?
@FerretCivilization? You are probably wondering: isn’t the Visitor home world Kepler 452b?
Hmmmmm. I wonder if 2021 would be a more reasonable detection date.
Then the Invasion happens in 2027, after the Visitors destroy the Mars base and breaking past our defences on the Moon and knocking out Earth’s orbital defences.
I've thought that too but it is not every time, could also be when they are looking at this room too. Though I have seen that not be 100% true either. So I figured I could just ask, ha.
Did a lot of my high school drafting classes based off that idea, friend of mine always had fun terms for them, memories, ha... Well as long as the walls could hold back the force of the ground on the structure it would be just like any other building when it comes to codes. If underground it would pretty much be like most basements.
Have you seen the pictures of actual buildings that do go into the sides of hills. And if I remember correctly one in a cliff... Could have just been an idea picture have to find it now.
@FerretCivilization yeah -- the layout's a bit weird in that the bedrooms are forced to the front of what's essentially a shotgunesque floor plan. the big concern that I have would be lack of daylight in the back -- I was considering the idea of having a daylighting device there
but I'm not sure if anyone's done long, tubular daylighting devices out of anything other than combustible plastics :P
Well if you wanted sunlight in your bedroom yeah it would be forced to the side of the exposed house. Though there are ways of digging up to expose part of the "Roof" and just making that part a roof window or skylight.
Huh, the whole fire escape thing, I remember learning that you can get around that by having two doors that lead into rooms that you can get outside with. It would be pretty creative to figure out how to get a front yard and "back yard" in a house that is partially underground but I imagine it could be done.
