Today is the scheduled landing date of the Mars Phoenix Mission, which is studying Martian ice and the possibility of life on the red planet. It’s one of a long series of recent Mars missions. While the Mars Pathfinder, which landed July 4th, 1997, is, arguably, the most famous in recent missions (not including the […]
A new Star Trek film has a lot of fans excited. It’s been called a “reboot”, a way to inject new life into a franchise many of us grew up with, but there are concerns as well. While some shows like Battlestar Galactica are willing to confront contemporary issues with philosophical ambiguity, trying to examine […]
A common question children ask is, why is the sky blue? I know this question stumps most parents, even though the answer is pretty simple: sunlight is made up of all colors of the spectrum (which is why rainbows sometimes appear) and blue, having a longer wavelength, gets zinged around more than any other color when […]
Twenty years, six movies, and a two-part Star Trek: The Next Generation story later, Leonard Nimoy revisited his Vulcan friend in I Am Spock. Perhaps “revisited” is the wrong word, though, since, as he made clear even in I Am Not Spock, he never really separated himself from the character, or from Star Trek. Some fans, […]

My allowance and any extra money I earned started going to the Rock City Machine Company, which is still in business, and which […]
If told I could go anywhere—and I mean absolutely anywhere—my first choice would be Naiad. It’s a tiny moon orbiting Neptune at less than thirty-thousand miles. Neptune’s closest known satellite, I think it would provide a spectacular view of one of the most amazing planets in the solar system. And, with the demotion of Pluto, […]
What do gardeners and people who are obsessive about their have against dandelions? I’ve never understood it. Just because they’re common doesn’t make them any less beautiful, and there’s something incredibly fun about blowing away the seed-heads. Don’t forget all the various ways to cook dandelions too–they’re delicious. A lot of flowers have been celebrated […]
Sir Arthur C. Clarke, born December 16, 1917, died March 19, 2008. Reading through news articles about Clarke, I found this brilliant quote: “I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarian and we’re skeptical.”
