    Characters' favorite Olympic events?

    Just a weird thought that popped into my head while watching the Olympics - what's the favorite event(s) of the various characters? I was able to think of some obvious ones: Archer - water polo Boimler - speed walking :lol: Picard - fencing, equestrian events, maybe distance running? Kirk -...

    How would you respond to this?

    I'm only posting here in the open because I'm sure the others involved don't come here.... So, my son is getting married next weekend! She's a wonderful girl, and they have made each other quite happy. And to be quite honest, my wife and I are a bit relieved that he's matured so much in the...

    The National Air and Space Museum posted this teaser image of a new exhibit. Any guesses?

    I went to the "Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show" in Pigeon Forge TN on Saturday, and outside the building there are several gravestones marking the passing of many "cousins" on both sides. This one in particular caught my eye:

    TMP crowd - 3 guys with rectangular badges

    In the TMP scene on the rec deck where the crew is watching the Epsilon 9 broadcast, I noticed 3 guys in the crowd who didn't have the usual delta insignia, but a silvery rectangular badge. They're all next to each other, white uniform with silver (maybe greenish?) tabs: a Vulcan male, a...

    The Expanse Season 3

    Season 3 starts tonight (April 11)! Very much looking forward to it! Is there a recap anyone knows of? It's been so long, I've kinda forgotten where exactly all the characters currently are, and what the situation is.

    What specific aircraft was the Galileo rear landing strut from?

    It's pretty well known that the rear landing strut on the Galileo full-size exterior mockup was made from surplus aircraft landing gear struts. But does anyone know specifically what type of aircraft it came from? Looks like it would be something bigger than your typical general aviation...

    Trek core down?

    I just tried to access trekcore.com, and it's telling me the domain has expired. I hope this gets resolved quickly!

    Incredibles 2 - coming summer 2018

    In case anyone missed it, a teaser trailer was released this past weekend: Really looking forward to this! (Also, cool logo!) (There was previously a thread here, but I'd like to separate this from Cars 3.)

    WOW! signal - Likely just a comet and/or its hydrogen cloud

    I've always thought the WOW! signal was a natural phenomenon, although I didn't expect its likely origin to be a comet. http://planetary-science.org/research/the-wow-signal/

    Contest: ENTER March 2017 Challenge - B.J.'s entry

    Initially I wanted to do something with the Spaceflight Chronology's hammerhead Marshall Class, but I couldn't come up with anything decent. So instead, I moved on to doing something with the Mann Class, also from the SFC. I don't usually work in 3D since the workflow in most meshing programs...

    Contest: ENTER January 2016 Art Challenge - "Damage"

    The theme for January is simple - Damage. Interpret that however you like - it could be damage to a ship, planet, equipment, individual, or even (if you can figure out how to show it) someone's mental state. Despite the ENT episode of the same name, I had a rather odd bit of inspiration for...

    Contest: ENTER December 2016 Art Challenge - B.J.'s entry

    Almost didn't make it this month! With family around for the holidays, it's sometimes difficult to find time to finish these things. Anyway, not sure if this quite fits the theme, but here it is regardless. A Romulan Bird of Prey, as if designed during WWII as a fighter jet. Obviously a lot...
