Almost, but not quite, entirely unlikely - but after nine years, my question-fu is exhausted.

I think my answer-foo is exhausted as well!

Exactly right - author is Josef Nesvadba

And you can watch the whole film with English subtitles here - some of the translations are a bit weird though, the English is a bit stilted. The first 30 seconds or so look like a travelogue. then you get the big reveal of what the plot is about, and some fun titles made by running Nazi film backwards

<chortles> I knew the music (from DOFP) from the first clip, but I had to dig to find the series (which I don't think I saw).

Spacemen are ten-a-penny. What they need out there is a good copper.

Star Cops? The link being Justin Hayward, who wrote and performed the soundtrack song.

correct hombre..

i knew if any one would get it it would be you...lol

the tripper is yours.... be careful of the brownies. i had a couple and cant remember where i parked my Cobra....

Tripper? Dr John, the Night Tripper? <plays Humble Pie's cover of I Walk On Gilded Splinters>


Anyway - I had a question ready to go, but on checking I find I've already asked it. Back to the drawing board - I may be some time!

More prog rock - it's the only way! This should be easily solved.


Name the piece upon which this is based, add a primary colour of your choice, and you should get one of a trilogy of novels.

Couldn't hear the sound file - first time I've tried plying an OGG, I think, and I may be doing something wrong.

"Red Mars". Or "Blue Mars" (not read). But not "Green Mars". Or "Rainbow Mars".

Red Mars or Blue Mars will do - over to you, sir! Your browser should be able to play an ogg - Waterfox/Firefox do.

It fired up something called "Rhythmbox" but - silence. Whatever.
I shall have to think of something ... {turns to bookshelf}

OK.
One day, the sun of an inhabited planet (one of many) rose, and it's core turned from degenerate hydrogen-helium to iron. This had terminal effects on the planet, and an expanding wave of other inhabited systems with the steamroller certainty of neutrinos sleeting through human space at the speed of light.

Author and book title.
Just for a change - does anyone have vaguely realistic ideas for building a "star killer" device.
