Is it right calling it a 15th century invention when the Koreans had metal type printing in the 13th century and the Chinese had ceramic movable type in the 11th century?
It feels way too Eurocentric a claim to me.

But in the meantime, they have to put their survival suits together from whatever pieces they can forage. And possibly kill for.

Worth it just for the patchwork astronaut costumes. Apparently cosplayers made them and the sets.
It's an incoherent mess, but it's a beautiful and engaging incoherent mess. I love it.
