I'd sign up for the animated one for sure. It won't be that much more expensive and they can even get the same cast to do voice acting. Alex Kamal doesn't play much role anyway in last three books so he can just stay dead.
Oh the goosebumps i get thinking Bobby's last moments.
Or when Amos would show up slow travelling to another star system.
Oooof.
Once you verb a noun, you can use it however you like. Rock could turn to violence if you did it to billionaires, but you can rock out, too. Tools are a good source. Shovel billionaires, hammer billionaires, blowtorch billionaires.
I would still qualify "space" as a noun here, but that's if you accept these kinds of constructions as sequences of nouns rather than the zero-conversion of nouns into and adjectives.
In Ukrainian those type of phrases would be converting the first noun into an adjective or into a prefix (either hyphenated or completely joined with the main noun)
In german, space billionaires would be a single, combined noun (Weltraummilliardäre) while space billionaires would be two separate words, a verb and a noun (Milliardäre verteilen) or, in the spirit of the meme, even more words (Milliardäre in den Weltraum aussetzen/dem Weltraum aussetzen).

It will forever crack me up that Bezos saved this show.

Saved because it was doing well and also killed when it was doing not as well as Amazon hoped.

The show did so many great changes! Tho the books are phenomenal too. I hope they'll adapt the final trilogy some day as well.

Ageing all characters was digitally expensive. Plus CGi budget would go through the roof with all the alien shenanigans.

Oh, I understand why they didn't do it right away, I just hope there will be another one. Maybe even animated instead of a TV show

There are few adjectives which are both homophones and homonyms for verbs.
I wonder if there are any such pairs not related to violence or sex....

off the top of my head "park", "fly", "table".
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 126d
I’ll accept fly, but park and table definitely aren’t adjectives
Ziglin@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 126d
Maybe you're just insecure about not being as fly as I am.

Table salt
FishFace@piefed.social · 2 pts · 126d
Not really adjectival, but forming a noun phrase. It's not productive because you don't call just anything you put on the table "table x".
GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 126d
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/table
See part 3 of 3.
FishFace@piefed.social · 0 pts · 125d
So what is "table food"? If I ask what kind of salt you have, might you reply, "oh, it's table"?
To look at it another way, can you give me an example of a noun that is not an adjective?
I'll freely say that I disagree with Merriam Webster here...
GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 125d
Ok, you're right and the dictionary's wrong. Good job!

Same as "space billionaires" in the OP

How else do you differentiate between a gym bench and a park bench?

Those are noun phrases formed of two nouns
