Ah, I gotcha! We just say, “in space” if you mean outside the earth; I think in Spanish you say “el espacio” but in English it’s just “in Space.” Also, “discussion” is a false cognate. A discussion doesn’t result in a war, but an argument or a dispute might. So you can say, “After a heated argument between two world powers, things boiled over and war broke out in space.”

Well, the idea is if a world war begins, it could involve new the army outside the earth, because there are many aeronautics advances; or the Galactic Republic could be founded ðŸŒ•

“The mood boiled over” is good. I don’t know what you mean by, “the war started in the space.” It could me a heated argument or disagreement in a meeting room, or something more serious. “The space” is a little vague, so you can define if you mean a room or a territory. For example, you can say: “The mood between India and Pakistan boiled over, and resulted in the two sides launching strikes at one another.”

Great example! You can just say, “…for leaving a meeting when tensions are starting..”

It was very good the 500th lesson there adn you are good at doing it. Maybe some kind of content different from here can be shared there.
Well, leave your thoughts “boil over”, maybe some thing different can emerge from them for us and be shared on YouTube!
Success guys, you deserve it a lot!
