Oddly enough, when I was planning the idea I never really had Portal and MST3K interacating. Since I really didn't know when this was taking place, the odds where was Portal didn't exist yet. But Joel know that someone was, eventualy, comming because there was occasionaly flashes of the Hub that you could see from the SOL.
If vistors can come to the KTMA SOL, won't they have a similar fate? IE, they original versions would stay omni-dimensional space and spit out a superior version?
Hmmm. I think only certien people can bounce in and out of omnni-dimensional space, since I have to explain how Dave and Val and some other charecters and pop in and out of the Hub. I don't know the why yet, but since the other charecters could travel between planes/dimensional/virtual worlds and one could also travel though time, I think it's a rare talent.
Plus, I think it also has to do with how they get there and so on. Think of the ommni-dimesional space as a sandbar, and a charecter as a boat. If the boat goes too quickly onto the bar, they'll break up. But if they just floated onto the bar, they would be just stuck. So if you were on a ship in orbit, you would break up. But if you were some reason spacewalking, you might one day get away when space-time ripples pushed you out.
In 1001, it was stated that the SOL was programmed to go boom after 10 years. Is it that it's always 1989 that prevents this from being carried out?
Unfoutuntaly, I have to against cannon here. But it's not too much, so it still might work. Instead of Dr. F programing the SOL to explode in 10 years, it's Dr. E that programs the SOL to explode in a few years so Dr. F will have enough time, in Dr. E's eyes, to prove whether or not their idea works. Since Dr. F insn't the type to give up, he would have continuted the experiment as long as he possibly could to see if the hypothosies was right, even though a "No, it's not going to work" is going to look almost excatly like a "It will work, only it hasn't happened yet". So in programing the SOL to explode, Dr. E would have forced Dr. F to eventualy move on.
Or, to actually answer your question, the SOL doesn't blow up in 10 years because Dr. E haddn't programed the SOL to explode yet, I think. I picture this programing to take place a little bit before Dr. E dissapers. But even if he did program the SOL to explode before the launch, it's pretty much the moment in time where the SOL split into two continuties, so it's never 10 years later.
Do the mads know? Or are they too far gone to notice? I think they do notice, but they don't care because they think this splitting wouldn't affect the results much, if at all.
And would you happen to know anymore fandoms that have people on satellites that aren't in the far future or a reality that is not our own?
