- fullstop 7y agoI've just started Persepolis Rising, please don't spoil anything rubbingalcohol!
- rubbingalcohol 7y agolol I've never even heard of that. I'm just a little fearful of playing games with asteroids. Probably because I suck at Star Fox.
- throwmeback 7y agoDo watch The Expanse though. The show is amazing, and I hope the books are even better.
- fullstop 7y agoAh, it's book 7 of The Expanse series. They are worth reading and the show is worth watching.

- NortySpock 7y agoThey are hitting a moonlet of a near-earth asteroid. Even after they hit it, the moon will still be in orbit of the (still) near-Earth asteroid.
