- Filligree 6y agoWait, really? I haven't watched the show, but aren't there like six different habitable planets involved? You can't have that all in a single star system.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoThey kinda try to patch it up in the movie "Serenity". Supposedly the whole show takes place in a gigantic star system full of giants with dozens of moons amounting to hundreds of worlds. They also have some form of terraforming tech to make inhospitable worlds habitable. Frankly I find that whole set up only slightly more plausible than some kind of FTL, especially since they also have gravity manipulation tech already.
- iso947 6y agoMore. All geo engineered. Ambiguous how humanity got to the system though. That said recent talks about habitable zone around a black hole made me wonder if that would work.
- maxcan 6y agoI honestly did not remember that. Good point.
- int_19h 6y agoIIRC it's spelled out somewhere that the colonization fleet was generation ships.
