Space

That shit in the sky that has planets and stars and shit. If you don't know what space is you must be a dumbass.

In space, no one can hear you scream.

This is the tagline for the film Alien, which was directed by Ridley Scott, not James Cameron, as currently stated on this site. Cameron directed the sequel, Aliens.

"In space, no one can hear you scream." is on e of the most quoted and parodied timelines in film history. It would have been more accurate if applied to Cuaron's Gravity, in which the silence of space plays a role in the narrative.

space opera

Generally speaking, refers to an epic adventure in space that focuses less on the technical details and more on good vs. evil and action. The mechanics of how things work ('hyperspace', 'the force') tend to be glossed over, as opposed to traditional "hard sci-fi", like Poul Anderson's "Tau Zero", where realism is emphasized, generally leading to stories smaller in scope.

Not an absolute term - Star Wars is more space opera than Star Trek, which itself is more space operaish than Deep Impact

Star Wars
Mass Effect
Bio of a Space Tyrant
Dune

Space Marines

One of the most popular races in the table top game, Warhammer 40k. Space marines are basically super soldiers with power armor. The reason for their popularity is
1. Their tactics are fairly straight forward.
2. They are easy to paint.
3. Easy on the wallet since you don't need many of them to have an effective army.
4. They are hella tough.

Damn, he just raped my orc army with his space marines because my orcs have a fucking stupid 6+ save and are raped by bolters.

space opera

An increasingly popular genre of Science Fiction. The term is largely self explanatory in that a space opera is a drama that is simply put in the context of science fiction. Although it can be "hard" science fiction, space operas typically focus on the characters to a point where the actual setting (space obviously, but more specifically, a technological future) is largely unimportant.

Have you seen Cowboy Bebop or that new Battlestar Galactica show?

No, I've never been a fan of space operas.

Dude Space

The designated space between two males when sitting on a couch/bench/etc. Males should sit as far as possible/practical. The name is derived from the very first thing you say when somebody violates said space: "DUDE!.....WTF are you doing!?"

Only temporary violations of Dude Space are allowed, i.e., Dude #1 is busy talking to a chick, so Dude #2 reaches over his leg to grab the Doritos.

On a couch that seats three people, properly alloted Dude Space would require both dudes to sit with the middle seat unoccupied.

Dude #1: "Hey man, Let's play some Rainbow Six: Vegas."
Dude #2: "Sure, hand me a controller."
Dude #1: "Dude...what the hell are you doing?"
Dude #2: "Playing RS:V....why?"
Dude #1: "Scoot over...you're violating my dude space."
