Podcasts about Space Jockey

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In his early days as a writer, Heinlein wrote his stories in the context of a shared universe that he called the Future History. These were mostly short stories at first, with hte occasional novella. But they inclode some great stories. The Future History, Part 1 One thing Heinlein became well known for was his Future History. This placed many of his stories in a common framework of a future environment, and allowed events from one story to influence events in other stories. Here is what he had to say about it, in a post I found on the Heinlein Society Facebook site: “I never “created” or “invented” a “Future History.” On April Fool's Day 1939 I started to write commercially; by the middle of August I had written 8 shorts & a serial. As 5 of these items were more or less to the same fictional background, I found that I was continually having to check back to keep from tripping over my own feet. So I took an old navigation chart, about 3×4 feet, turned it over, made the time scale vertical, then set up 5 columns: stories, characters, technical data, sociological, remarks. Then I checked those first 5 stories, filled data into proper columns at the proper height for the fictional date—and continued to do this with other stories later. The chart was on the righthand wall near my elbow and was unusually messy as I never took the chart down to add to it—just reached over and scrawled on it.” Source: https://www.facebook.com/HeinleinSociety/posts/i-never-created-or-invented-a-future-history-on-april-fools-day-1939-i-started-t/1092968002874634/ One thing that became clear as his Future History developed is that he was not looking at our future exactly. He was very clear in his mind that he was writing fiction, and not issuing prophecies. If you are reading it today, it is best to think of this as a kind of alternate timeline, and this is something that holds true through a lot of his work. Even in his later novels, which were never formally part of his Future History, he would mention events from that past group of works, which may implicitly incorporate them. But this is an area where scholars are in disagreement as to which if the later novels, if any, should be incorporated. And there were unwritten stories that appeared on the chart that would have given further background to the stories that were written. They were stories Heinlein seems to have intended to write at some point, but never got around to writing. You can get more information about this in his book Revolt in 2100. The Future History stories were initially collected primarily in three books: The Man Who Sold the Moon (1950), The Green Hills of Earth (1951), and Revolt in 2100 (1953). Each of them fleshes out this hypothetical world in different ways. The first one, The Man Who Sold The Moon, introduces us to a businessman named D.D. Harriman, who is obsessed with going to the moon. But he thinks it should be done by private enterprise rather than by government. So he concocts a scheme to do this. He promotes a legal theory that the rights to the moon belong to the countries that it directly flies over, sort of like air rights taken to infinity. Then he uses the chaos of competing interests to throw this into the United Nations, and then gets the U.N. to give him the rights. He finally gets to launch a mission to set up a Moon base, but cannot join the expedition because the corporation considers him too valuable to risk. In a sequel story, Requiem, he does get to the moon just in time to die there. Heinlein was never above writing a tear-jerker. Of course, the book has other stories not linked to D.D. Harriman. Heinlein's fist story, Life-Line, is also collected here. And his second story, Let There Be Light, anticipates the development of solar power panels, but similarly to Life-Line, this earns the enmity of corporate interest, in the form of the Power Syndicate. The Roads Must Roll postulates moving roadways in the future, but the story really is about the sociology of technology in the future. And Blowups Happen, originally from 1940, anticipates nuclear fission as a power source, but it proves to be dangerous. They claim that the craters on the moon were really caused by a series of explosions to reactors that wiped out an earlier civilization. So they move the reactor into space for safety. And this feeds back into The Man Who Sold The Moon when this reactor in space blows up. In these early stories we can already see that Heinlein has a complex view of society. In Life-Line and Let There Be Light corporate power is the villain of the story, and some of this also shows up in Blowups Happen. But in The Man Who Sold The Moon we see that private enterprise is preferred to government action. I think the way this can be reconciled is to see that Heinlein is always concerned with individual personal freedom and opposed to anything that might endanger that, whether from too much government or too powerful corporate interests. The Green Hills of Earth contains the story of the same name, which concerns a former space engineer, Rhysling, now blinded by radiation and unemployable, who is also a poet. And one of his poems has that title. The crew of Apollo 15 named a crater on the moon “Rhysling”, and they planned to read a bit of it at the crater, but those trips could get very busy. Still, as they were getting ready to leave the moon there was this exchange. Note that Allen is the Capcom, and Scott and Jones are the astronauts : “Allen: As the space poet Rhysling (the blind poet in Robert Heinlein's The Green Hills of Earth) would say, we're ready for you to “come back again to the homes of men on the cool green hills of Earth.” [Scott – “That's from the Green Hills of Earth. That's one we talked about before the flight. Have you read that one?”] [Jones – “Oh, yeah! That was a favorite when I was a kid. Had you read it?”] [Scott – “Sure. (Quoting from memory): We pray for one last landingon the globe that gave us birthTo rest our eyes on fleecy skiesand the cool green hills of Earth.” Although two of the stories in this collection were older, from 1941, most of them are from 1948 and 1949. And there is a reason for that. On December 7, 1941, the United States found itself at war with Imperial Japan, and few days later Nazi Germany. Coming from a family that had fought in every American war you would expect Heinlein to get involved somehow. He could not enlist due to his medical retirement from the Navy, but since he had an engineering background so he became a civilian employee at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, where he was joined by fellow science fiction writers Isaac Asimov and L. Sprague de Camp. A nice retelling of this can be found at Kirkus Reviews, and Asimov also discusses this in his biography. The upshot is that there is a gap of about 5 years when Heinlein did not publish anything. It is also notable that Heinlein by this point had escaped from the pulp science fiction magazines and gotten published in what were called the “slicks', so-called because the paper they were printed on was slick and higher quality than the pulps. His stories began to be published in places like The Saturday Evening Post, Argosy Magazine, and Town & Country. And these outlets paid higher rates than the pulps, a significant matter for any writer. Heinlein always maintained that the only reason anyone would write was to make money. And the stories were getting to be quite good as well. Delilah and the Space Rigger (1949) tells the story of a woman who joins a construction crew on a space station and faces discrimination, but wins out in the end, which was pretty progressive for the time, but not atypical for Heinlein. Space Jockey is a fairly pedestrian story about a rocket pilot dealing with his every day life. But The Long Watch is an important story to Heinlein's view of the important things in life. A young officer is assigned to duty on the lunar base, where there are nuclear weapons stored. His superiors want to stage a coup, using those weapons, which can threaten the Earth while being beyond the reach of retaliation. The young officer sacrifices himself to prevent their plot from succeeding, and becomes recognized in a death as a great hero. And this becomes part of the background to a later juvenile novel Space Cadet, as well as being referenced occasionally in other stories, so you can see that he regarded it as an important statement. Gentlemen, Be Seated is a cute little story about a man who saves people when a leak happens in a tunnel on the Moon by plugging the leak with his rear end. The Black Pits of Luna is little thing about a boy scout who is able to rescue his little brother, but it foreshadows the Juvenile novels he later wrote. It's Great To Be Back! is about a couple who have moved to the Moon, but continually find fault with the living arrangements. They finally decide to go back to Earth, but discover that it was not really the place they had remembered, and they then return to the Moon, which they now realize is home. -We Also Walk Dogs is a gem of a story concerning a company called General Services that basically does things for their clients. Their advertising slogan is “Want somebody murdered? Then DON'T call General Services. But for anything else, call…. It Pays!” They deal a few different problems in this story, but the main one is the development of anti-gravity, and it features a Chinese porcelain bowl. Ordeal in Space is about a spaceman who has an accident that gives him a fear of heights and washed him out of space. But he has to face his fear when he needs to rescue a kitten from the 35th floor. One thing about Heinlein is that he was a firm and devoted cat fancier, so it no accident that a kitten is the one that has to be rescued. And the final story, Logic of Empire, he discusses the development of slavery in the Venus colony as a natural consequence of machinery being expensive and humans being cheap. And in this story there is a background reference to Nehemiah Scudder, who will soon be important in the Future History. One of the things that is worthy of a brief discussion at this point is exemplified by the story Logic of Empire, and that is the reference to the Venus colony. We now know that Venus can best be described as hellish, with crushing air pressure and temperatures high enough to melt metals. The best designed landers can last no more than minutes before being destroyed. But this was not known when Heinlein was writing these early stories. The prevailing view at that time was that Venus was shrouded in clouds because it was very wet and swampy, so that is what Heinlein went with. Similarly his Mars had canals and was inhabited. You just have to go with it in these stories, as you have to do with so much of Golden Age science Fiction, let alone pre-Golden Age.

F*cked Around and Found Out: Ridley Scott's Prometheus  It's rare that a director can tell a story, go on to fabulous critical and commercial success, and return to his origins, answering questions that have hovered around a franchise for decades, while doing so in an exciting and innovative way. Ridley Scott's Alien introduced one of the great Science Fiction/Horror creatures. In 2012 Scott would return to the world he created in 1979 with his prequel Prometheus. A film that confused and angered a great many audiences for taking an unexpected direction in storytelling, Scott's prequel would focus on the origin of the "Space Jockey" first seen in the original film. From that jumping point Scott would fashion an exciting and  action-packed narrative rare (for a major studio release) in the questions it would ask regarding human origins and purpose.

"Space Jockey" is another great science fiction story by Heinlein from 1947 published in the Saturday Evening Post. At the same time it is horribly quaint and seems a bit more like fantasy than science fiction. Someone moving from the gig economy to full time family-supporting employment? Not in this universe.

Heute geht es um Außerirdische. Welche Aliens gefallen Thomas, Simon und Raphael am Besten und an welche haben die drei besonders schlechte Erinnerungen. Kommt mit uns auf eigene Gefahr an die Grenzen des Universums - hier draußen auf Melmac hört Euch niemand schreien!

Some call it the Pilot. Some call an Engineer. Many of us call it the Space Jockey. Call it what you will, this mysterious figure inside the Derelict has haunted and intrigued fans for decades. But why? What is it about this silent, seemingly ancient figure that makes it so unforgettable? For years, a major part of the Jockey's lasting appeal was its unknowability. But now that we have the prequels—and with them, the Engineers—is the Jockey no longer a mystery? Or has the mystery just shifted? In this roundtable, Jaime, Patrick, Maj, and Perry ponder these questions and come to some unexpected conclusions. They also explore the history of the Pilot from script to screen, and examine its life in the Expanded Universe of Dark Horse comics, etc. // Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/perfectorganismitunes // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.perfectorganism.com. // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Building Better Worlds // To support the show, please consider visiting www.perfectorganism.com/support.

((( headphones recommended for optimal immersion and enjoyment ))) I'd describe Eric Wargo as an oneiric archeologist. He's the author of “Time Loops: Retrocausation, Precognition, and The Unconscious” as well as a recent handbook for interpreting message from the future received in dreams called “Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self.” I resonate with the ideas he puts forth so much that I've purchased the book seven times! We talk about the physical locale of the collective unconscious, personification and encryption in dream states, time travel, the prophetic nature of creativity, and more. I also get a chance to relay a few pertinent instances of precognition and time loops from my own life.

Two days after my brother turned seventeen, he was gone, just like he'd guaranteed my dad. No sad goodbyes, no notes, no taking a knee in the hall before dawn to give me any good advice for high school when I got there. My mom's story when anybody asked was that he'd moved out, he was old enough, he needed room, it was completely natural. My dad, if asked, would just shrug, knock back the rest of his can of beer, and say he hoped Rance was in the military. | Copyright 2021 by Stephen Graham Jones. Narrated by Scott Peterson.

In space... no one can hear anything but my annoying nasally voice yelling at my wife and best friend about how much I love Alien! Written by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, the film was O'Bannon's reintroduction to Hollywood after living in a think-tank on the ill-fated Jodorowsky's Dune. The time abroad served invaluable, as it introduced him to H.R. Giger and his hideously sexual brooding art that would take an admittedly lacking story and turn it into a classic with the help of director, Ridley Scott.  Hot off the moderate success of The Duelists, Scott decided to leave the Napoleonic era long in the past, delving into a gritty, industrial future.  Between Giger and O'Bannon (who did set design for Dark Star and Star Wars) the film has an unmistakable aesthetic, which was captured perfectly by Scott, much to the chagrin of some of his actors. For instance, Tom Skerritt, was openly critical of Scott taking so long to set up shots, because he fell out of character.  The film stars Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley. Aside from a part in Madman (which you can see was later aggrandized after the success of Alien) Weaver was predominantly a theater actor. She would go on to make more than the budget of this entire film to appear in the sequel: Aliens. She would go on to star in four installments of this series, which has grossed over $1,000,000,000 in her lifetime.  Listen as we discuss the practical effects, such as the design of the Nostromo and the Space Jockey, and the ingenuity of using real animal parts in the facehugger's eggsack. Did you know that they used condoms in making the xenomorph? Well don't worry, because Jake mentions it like 10 times throughout this episode. We also discuss some of the deleted scenes and the infamous alternate ending that was luckily scrapped.  If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Die Crew der Nostromo findet etwas, was wir heute als "Space Jockey" bezeichnen ....

To the Sequel, we got as Alec and James from Panel To Panel dig in and talk about Sam Raimi's Spider-man 2! Our Road To Far From Home Continues right now!

EPISODE 91: SPACE JOCKEY, 1982, from U.S. Games, looks a lot like a game made by a company that mostly just makes oatmeal. 'cause it is! But we're playing it anyway.  Why so much space? Who, exactly, is this "jockey" of which the game speaks? Are YOU the jockey? Am I the jockey? There's not a single horse in this thing, so why do we even need a jockey. I'm so confused.  Thanks this week to Speck for the use of (a portion of) the song "I Don't Care Anymore". Thanks also to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Reformat", "Take a Chance" and "Pinball Spring".  Check out that cool Atari cake (that someone needs to get me RIGHT NOW!) here.  Atari Bytes show notes, links and more.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Ridley Scott’s 1979’s Alien, written by Dan O’Bannon with creature designs by H.R. Giger, may have not blown the box office away, but it became one of the greatest science fiction and horror films of all time. It was followed up by James Cameron’s Aliens which too became a classic film. David Fincher’s Alien 3, with its troubled production, still was generally enjoyed, but then afterwards with Alien Resurrection and the Alien vs. Predator films, the franchise devolved into farce. However, Ridley Scott returned to the franchise with Prometheus, focusing on the iconic “Space Jockey” from the first film. Though the film landed more in the Alien 3 mold (enjoyable but a miss), Scott is back with a new film, Alien Covenant. The movie has created much buzz in hopes that it will reinvigorate a beloved franchise that many felt was either in need of a fresh take on the subject or a need for a worthy end. Michael Fassbender returns from Prometheus in a dual role which has received much praise. Will fans be given the answers about the space jockeys, the engineers, and the fates of Dr. Elizabeth Shaw and the robot David? Dark Discussions takes a look at the new film, discussing where it fits into the franchise, and whether or not Ridley Scott has produced another timeless sci-fi classic. As always we welcome your comments: darkdiscussions@aol.com (written email or attached mp3 files) WWW.DARKDISCUSSIONS.COM

Daniel does a review of the new Alien movie as well as dives into some interesting theories about the series, whether David is the Space Jockey at the beginning of Alien, Engineer Jesus Christ and Neutrino blasts being scary as shit.

We complete our celebration of Alien Day! The show kicks off with the Deviants taking a look at how the Xenomorph stacks up to other aliens/monsters. The Prometheus sequel, Alien: Covenant, goes under the knife as possible story lines get discussed. We return to the bad ass film Aliens, as we ponder the question whether or not the Space Jockey is an Engineer. Alien 5 was recently announced, then quickly put on hold. Clint schools us on some Xenobiology 101, educating us on the different ways you can get impregnated by a xenomorph. We also head back to Prometheus and take a look at how the Black Goo eventually evolves into a Queen Xenomorph. Finally, we ask the age old question: is Sigourney Weaver hot?

In which our heroes wonder where Prometheus fits in the Alien franchise, bemoan the fact that the film asks a lot of questions but answers literally zero, let Ridley Scott know just how much he failed and set their sights on fixing Prometheus. We look at how glorious AvP was, shake their heads at the whole Jesus was a Space Jockey thing, and wonder what Guy Pearce is even doing there. Zoe is nothing but questions, Zammit is sad that the film was not the original screenplay of Alien: Engineers, and Gabe wonders what was the point of having a Xenomorph turn up at the end. So settle in, get immediately confused and start yelling at Damon Lindelof while you run away from a giant rolling wheel by staying directly in its path and refusing to jump out of its way.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross expand upon the main quest of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It's the biggest game we've ever done for the show. It's so big that it's immune to our usual treatment. This isn't a text you can read from front to back. Instead, it's a world you inhabit. This episode sees us completing the main quest of Morrowind, fulfilling the Nerevarine prophecies and defeating the evil Dagoth Ur. But that's only one part of the story. Next week, we will look into the various guilds of Morrowind.

This week's Bodacious Horror Podcast celebrates our proud Elephantine heritage, with a salute to our noble Space Jockey ancestors and our gracious Alien overlords. In recognition of Xenomorph Awareness Week we discuss "Alien" (1979), "Aliens" (1986) and "Prometheus" (2012). Roscoe struggles to stay awake, while Gill tries not to punch him as he tells tales from far-off lands and compares "Prometheus" to a nonsense rhyme. 2nd upload, correcting audio issue. Also, Gill was wrong yet again and apologises. The butcher can ONLY kill Beavers. We were both tired and emotional, and we love you all. If you also urgently require sleep, send us some comments on the Facebook group, follow us on Twitter (@BodaciousHorror) or if you're so inclined you can leave us a comment and rating on the iTunes.
