Open Thread: Space Doom
March 8th, 2012
Lots of people like to submit Space Doom stories. Even though I wouldn’t normally post about this stuff, some of the boards I read (which rarely have any credible information on them anyway) are losing their minds over this solar flare event, which I doubt will amount to much, if anything at all.
I think that there is a deeply embedded Space Doom meme in fringe circles that was planted by Ed Dames with his Killshot woowoo back in the 1990s. That stuff went out over Art Bell’s radio show to millions of people and my guess is that the echos of it are still reverberating around the Internet.
Anyway, bring on the Space Doom!

Update: Ed Dames Still Going Strong
T let me know that Dames is still at it:
This is pretty much how I remember the story — and I like the heavy drama voice over. THE KILL SHOT. HAHA. Admittedly, I only ever listened to Art Bell as background noise, while waiting for something to download at about 30kbits/sec. and taking out seven to ten bottles of Moosehead.
