Hello Fellow Travelers!
Yesterday, the Spouse and I (Mostly the Spouse) watched part of a movie called "Apollo 18". It may as well be called, "Blair Witch 18" or "Paranormal Activity in Space". With crackling dialogue like, "What the hell was that?" and "I heard it too. What was that? " Did you also know that the moon is crawling with all different sizes of Space Spiders? Well it is. Did you also know that the Government knows all about it? Well, they do.
I looked at the screen long enough to figure out what was going on and it was another flick concocted by men for men. Astronauts and spiders! If they could figure out a way to get some Hooters girls and some beer up there it would be the perfect movie. A female never would write such a silly story. Any female knows that just being in a space suit or being in the tiny capsule is claustrophobic. A space suit is not only claustrophobia in and of itself a space suit is kind of disgusting (all the bathroom functions happen in the suit for starters). And it doesn't help the wearer's appearance one bit. So the idea that the space spider gained access to astronauts through their heavy, ugly, suits made all kinds of sense to me. And the capsule, could it be any tinier or more cramped? No surprise there, either. Mission Control refusing any assistance citing "contamination", well isn't that what the Government always does?
No woman I know would don that ridiculous suit, or live in a capsule too small to float in, let alone make a movie about it . It all sounds really uncomfortable. It looks awfully uncomfortable. Space spiders? Of course they win! Big unwieldy suits, tiny capsules, those guys don't have a prayer! Too silly for females to even consider. The spouse admitted the whole thing was pretty silly. Although I could see it sounded good on paper - astronauts plus spiders equals a hit. Not so much.
