Totally.

The Milky Way is on a collision course with Andromeda, so we are already on our way!

Maybe Andromeda is coming to save us. Isn't that what The Andromeda Strain was all about?

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 21 hours ago

You are confusing that with Galactica from Andromeda out of the "Hello Spencer" TV series.

The "Andromeda Strain" was about human hubris and the reasons we are probably not going to become intergalactic travellers...

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

That reference was a bit strained.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That was an interesting mini series, albeit nothing to do with Andromeda Galaxy.

I wondered why I didn't remember a mini series to exist - then saw its Rotten Tomato rating...

So perhaps better watch the film instead.
It has a few 60s movie moments, but overall was really fun to watch, with most of the science being surprisingly solid, given its age.
