NASA tweets.  A lot.  And when NASA tweets it’s always something exciting and worth a look. Just look at the picture above.  It’s an extremely scaled-down version of a 1.3 billion (Yes, that’s with a B like Batman!) pixel full-circle panorama of everybody’s second favorite planet, Mars.  To put that resolution into perspective, that’s 1300 [...]

One of the greatest traits of the human race is our ability to dream and then act on those dreams.  Everyone, no matter who they are or what their lot in life may be, has dreams, aspirations, hopes.  That is what brought us down from the trees, out of the caves and ultimately into space. [...]

Available online now is a completely crowd funded, space-based science fiction series called “L5.” While the quality of the CGI work isn’t near network TV standards, considering it was made on a $15,000 budget and nearly every frame of its half hour has effects in it, they did an amazing job.   The basic premise [...]
