Been bouncing this around a long while and now realize I'm not ever going to do anything with it, but don't want it to go to waste. Prophet Margin. In really broad strokes I figure it would have something to do with the Ferengi trying to pull something on the Bajorans in some way. OR maybe...

September 14th: (Wonder if they're setting up Ken for if/when Alex decides to and/or has to step aside (hopefully that'll still be a long time coming)? It'd be a good choice, IMO.

This happened: Will never forget sitting on the floor of my great-grandparent's living room watching this unfold. Possibly one of my clearest childhood memories.

45 years ago this month Dr. Gerard O'Neill testified to congress on his proposals for our future in space, presenting his ideas for manufacturing in space, solar power satellites, and free-space habitats a the L5 point in Earth-Moon space. This was big stuff at the time amongst those of us...

Carl Reiner has died. Creator of the classic Dick Van Dyke Show, father of director/actor Rob Reiner, and longtime comedy partner of Mel Brooks: One of the funniest guys ever, but he made a great straight-man for Mel's Old Man.

Hi, all. Am noticing a bunch of stories here with title all prefaced with TUE for "The Untold Era". Is this an organized effort to fill in the blanks for this period between TUC and TNG, or is it just a confluence of folks all writing in the same era? I've had an idea for some stuff in the...

It's Only Space Opera or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Star Wars I've been enjoying Star Wars for about 43 years now, since the first movie appeared on the screen at the Everett Theater in Everett, Washington when I was 15 years old. Over the years my enthusiasm has had it's ups and...

Some good news amongst the current unpleasantness. IF the schedule holds, astronauts will be launched from Kennedy Space Center to the International Space Station in late May...

Salute to the crew of Apollo 13 and all the folks on the ground who worked to ensure they made it home.

NASA has a new fun web-page: https://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/what-did-hubble-see-on-your-birthday You give it the month and day of your birth and the site will show you a photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on that date. For my birthday (7 December) I got a nice pic of the Southern...

This is a really cool video describing one of the highest-resolution photos taken on the martian surface: How cool is it that we can sit on our couches and look at the surface of another planet in this kind of detail?

Now, this is a movie I want to see:

NPR had a nice interview with Patrick Stewart on this morning's Weekend Edition program where he talks about coming back to the role of Picard. Listen to the eight minute interview here...

Wanted to pass along that Nicholas Meyer (director of ST2:TWoK, and ST6:TUC) is being interviewed tonight the Coast to Coast AM radio program. Show airs from 1am-5am EST (10pm-2am PST). You can find a local affiliate here: https://www.coasttocoastam.com/stations

Was the Miranda class starship and improvement over the more well-known Constitution class starship? I think there may be a case to show that it was. Most source seem to peg the Miranda (or Avenger class in fan-tech circles) as a "frigate" type vessel, implying something lesser than or not as...

Just wanted to take a moment to mention this new book by Graham Langridge. It's a real beauty. An oversized hardcover with diagrams of pretty much every space craft and vehicle featured thus far in the series of Alien movies. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Alien...

So. Gonna do a thread where I watch Space: 1999 for pretty-much the first time in 44 years and provide some commentary. I watched the show back when it was first-run, but I do not think I've seen every episode - wasn't quite as diligent with 1999 as I was with TOS back then. So, technically...

The Chinese lunar rover currently roaming the moon's farside seems to have come across something interesting: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/chinas-lunar-rover-has-found-something-weird-on-the-moons-far-side/ar-AAGBQ3P?ocid=spartandhp I will be looking forward to hearing more about...

Here's the trailer for the upcoming movie about Fred Rogers starring Tom Hanks: They made a good choice with the casting here. IMO, Tom Hanks is to movies now, what Jimmy Stewart was to movies sixty years ago - when you want to have a firm reassuring presence onscreen this is the guy you look...

Well, this seems to have been pushed back. Amazon had been listing with a release date of 6 August, but it is now listed with a release date on Next April. Bummer. I've enjoyed Goodman's other Trek boos, and had been really looking forward to this in the next couple of weeks. I assume...
