The wife is watching Extant, in which an astronaut comes back to Earth nine months pregnant or somesuch after being in space for about 13 months on an alone mission. The mathematics are, of course, troubling in context of a space show. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I don't wish to appear crass, but in such an instance wouldn't you just - I don't know - hit her with the flamethrower the second she stepped off the spaceship? Molly: "Hi! Look at this! I've been alone in space all by myself and I'm about to have a baby!" WOOOSH Gas-masked soldier #1: "Shit, that was nuts. Crazy fucker came back with a space-creature of some kind or other in her tummy!" Gas-masked soldier #2: "Yeah. Damn lucky she told us, though."
She's kinda cute. If she invited me to visit her four months into her mission for a break from the gravity boots, I'd go.
Apparently, this getting her pregnant by an alien was all a plot by the powers that be to make contact with these aliens. The CEO of the space company sponsoring all his said ominously: "They're already here." So we'll see what happens I guess..
