What Would Terrify You in Outer Space?

Question

What would frighten you in Space? Would it be that you were lost, you encountered creatures, you learnt that the universe you had been born in, the universe you knew were about to be crushed. What would be your brilliant ideas for a Sci- Fi Movie?

Answer 1

Run out of oxygen or food supply.

Answer 2

If I had brilliant ideas for a sci fi movie, I'd be making a brilliant sci-fi movie not on Yahoo answers!

I'd be most afraid of dying without being able to communicate with my loved ones. (I'm assuming I'm just floating alone in a space suit.) But not a good idea for a film.

Answer 3

Well, if I were in outer space, the thing that would terrify me the most would be getting struck by a tiny little pebble flying at fantastic speed through space which put a hole completely through my space suit and me. That exact moment would be filled with nothing but sheer terror.

Were I to try and develop a movie about events like that,
I would most likely develop a base plan for the movie which discussed "low bids" for space related ventures.
Then I would go into the various technical details of space suit construction and the built-in back up systems of the modern space suits. Get the audience totally convinced that the present day space suits are a thing of absolute marvel. Then shift back to cost cutting measures being taken by politicians who control the space program in an attempt to get the biggest bang for the buck, so to speak. Jump to Space Mission 345, day 47 wherein a space walk is ordained for the crew of the space station to install new waste bladder control selenoids outside the station.
Four astronauts exit the space station and are in the process of performing the scheduled work when one after another of their suits begin experiencing catastrophic failure at the seam in their suit where the left leg joins the torso. One after another of the suits explodes with the astronaut suffering and having a really unimagineable last moment. The final remaining astronaut makes an heroic attempt to regain the safety of the space station just before his suit also fails. The remainder of the movie deals with the investigation on Earth of the processes of space suit design, engineering, and manufacture. That same individual that gave us the earlier talks on space suit safety turns out to be a politician who mandated cost cutting measures that eliminated intensive testing and approved use of non standard welding of seams in the suit to save money. He is found responsible for the loss of life which resulted from his cost cuts.

Answer 4

Anything that would cause me to be afraid here on Earth - The stuff that's built in - Anything that will apparently cause immeninet intense pain or death.

Would it change what I was doing? Nope. I'm out there to explore. Being scared is part of that deal.

But a really big heavily armed furry spider critter? Gonna need some new shorts for that one. I don't like spiders at ALL. Heinlein's description of the Bugs in Starship Troopers just gave me the oogies.

Answer 5

Finding out that my crewmates were Madonna, Hillary Clinton, Joan Rivers, Sharon Stone, Rosie O'Donnell, Barbra Streisand, and Jane Fonda.

I would set the ship on Self Destruct, disable all other Escape Pods, and hope that I could encounter the Obelisk in the last Escape Pod.

Answer 6

I fear the Aliens.
I fear the Predators.
I fear the Blog. We are the Blogger, lower your shield.
I fear the darkside Emperor Palentine and Lord Darth Vadar....
What is my bidding, Master?

If my captains are Janeway or Picard, I have 101% rest assure we will get back home, Earth. If other captain like my country, I rather go fart myself than a stupidity death.
With the capabilities of Warp Engine, I fear not the Universe crushed.

Shield Up! Hard to Port! Brace for impact! Fire Quantum Torpedoes Array.

Mama, help! you're one ugly mother farter! -from Aliens vs Predators.

Answer 7

They have done so many post apocalypse movies wehre there is one major resoucre people fight over. In waterworld they fought for land, Mad Max it was fuel, Ice Pirates...well you catch my drift. Anyway I want to see a REAL war start up when the citizens of the universe learn of the new scarcity in beer. That would truly frighten me.
