I Could Use a Vacation… to the Moon
So naturally, in the middle of all this chaos, I started thinking about space vacations. Summer’s here, which means two things: yardwork, and wondering how my calendar filled up without my consent. Between the day job, mowing the lawn, power-washing everything that doesn’t run away, and taking the kids to Disney World (which is magical… Read More

Mining the Moon for Power: How Helium-3 Might Fuel Our Sci-Fi Future
That means no radioactive waste, no meltdown risk, and theoretically, a lot of power from a tiny amount of fuel. Let’s talk about something near and dear to every science fiction writer’s heart: energy. Not the “I’ve had four cups of coffee and I’m writing at 2 a.m.” kind—though that’s a close second—but the kind… Read More

The Science of Cryosleep: How Close Are We to Deep Space Naptime?
But here’s the real question: how close are we to making this sci-fi staple a reality? Let’s be honest—space is huge.

So it’s no surprise that one of the most enduring concepts in science fiction is also one of the most appealing: cryosleep. You know the drill—our plucky explorers climb into sleek… Read More

When Time Flies… or Freezes
I found myself thinking about something truly sci-fi: cryo-sleep. Spring is moving fast here—one minute I’m dragging branches off the lawn, the next I’m squinting at the thermometer wondering if it’s too soon to get the grill out. (Spoiler: it’s never too soon.) And with summer just around the corner, everything seems to be speeding… Read More

Dancing Among the Stars: Music and Entertainment in Sci-Fi Worlds
If we’re going to spend months or years on a spaceship or live in gravity-regulated domes, we’re going to need more than a playlist. When we dream about the future—colonies on Mars, deep-space missions, sentient dishwashers—we tend to focus on the big stuff: propulsion systems, alien contact, survival. But once we’ve settled in, once we’ve… Read More
