Optimistic soviet space dreams are always quite awesome, then again many Russian authors, philosophers, artists etc from era had some great ideas about what was possible in a 'space utopia' but didn't believe at all that it was possible under what the Soviet actually was.
Lem is still one of my favorite authors.

Space slavs

Slavs on the moon.

Now I'm picturing people in soviet style steampunk space suits on the moon lined up against makeshift barricades made of soviet era spacejunk and fighting each other with molotov cocktails, medieval weapons and fireworks.....
Lunamaidan ......

A tip, in case anyone feels like preordering the game.

Green Man Gaming, a fairly reputable site, is implicitly offering a 25% discount on Civilization Beyond Earth using the voucher code HEA34T-3L03RY-JLXOOR, which would lower the price to $37.50 USD, if that's the currency GMG has assigned to your geographical region. It's likely a limited time offer, possibly related to Gamescon.

A couple of considerations, however:
- At present, the offer doesn't seem to include the Exoplanets pack advertised for CivBE preorders. Although GMG offers have retroactively added preorder bonuses in the past.
- GMG usually sends the game keys on release, which means you don't get to preload before launch. It's a compromise given that due to the way the system works, they can only offer refunds before the keys have been sent: once they are, they aren't in control of the item anymore. Nevertheless, Civ5 was relatively small compared to contemporary AAA games, so I doubt download times will be unreasonable at all for CivBE.

My main concern about this game is if my crummy computer can run it.

It can run Civ 5 and it's expansions at moderate graphics okay (Even if it is technically below the requirements for the expansion.), but seeing as Civ 5 came out in 2010 ...

Welp, I predict my return back into the world of lowest graphical settings possible!

I just hope it's a return to the glory days of the likes of Civ IV rather than the dumbed down experience that Civ V provided.

...welp, so much for not preordering.  Thanks. ^_^

Was surprisingly disappointed it didn't end in a total annihilation reference.

It did if you choose to read it that way!     Red is obviously going to become the first Arm commander.

What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machine escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds. The Core and the Arm have all but exhausted the resources of a galaxy in their struggle for domination. Both sides now crippled beyond repair, the remnants of their armies continue to battle on ravaged planets, their hatred fuelled by over four thousand years of total war. This is a fight to the death. For each side, the only acceptable outcome is the complete elimination of the other.

Having been a dedicated Civilization player since the first one, I really don't see how Civ 5 is particularly dumbed down. Alright, so it took two expansions to make it the great game it is today, but Civ 4 had two expansions as well. To each their own, I guess, but if the whole 1-unit-per-hex and hexes instead of tiles is your problem, you're probably going to be disappointed in this one as well as it's based on the same groundwork, as far as I can know.

Aside from corporations, which weren't much more than reskinned religions, I'm not sure what Civ4 had that Civ5 doesn't at this point.

Random events and forests/jungles that can spread.

I miss random events.

Don't forget selectable leaders (Something I am astonished they never brought back)... better modability I guess.
