Where’s My Space Vacation Movie?
I’m not talking about the gritty space dramas or dystopian thrillers where a “vacation” turns into a bug-infested death match (looking at you, Total Recall). We’ve been to the stars, we’ve battled alien empires, we’ve rebooted Star Trek more times than most of us have renewed our driver’s licenses. We’ve terraformed planets, colonized moons, and… Read More

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

Lately, I’ve been reading about artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and those data centers we never think about until one shows up in our cornfield. You know, the giant, windowless buildings that hum like a spaceship and pull more power than a small city just… 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. Like, “you’ve-gotten-through-three-packs-of-Tang-and-you’re-still-not-at-Mars” 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
