Pin It Day after tomorrow marks 50 years since the Soviets launched the world’s first female astronaut into Earth orbit. Last Friday, Valentina Tereshkova stated that she would love to get a one-way ticket to the red planet. And that may just be possible. You may have heard of the [...]Pin It The good folks at Galaxy Press released a press release today. The subject? My killer anthology HONORED. Check it out! Thank you, Galaxy Press! Pin ItPin It Arthur C. Clarke is credited with saying that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Indeed, the technology with which we live today would certainly be considered no less than magical to someone from the past (and not-too distant past, at that). And likely there will be [...]Pin It This BBC News item from a while back describes how a blind man was able to navigate his way around obstacles without seeing them or touching them – a phenomenon called “blindsight.” And this one in Psychology Today takes a look at some additional experiments regarding seeing without [...]Pin It Almost seven and a half years ago, NASA launched “New Horizons,” a spacecraft that is destined for a rendezvous with the planet Pluto.

My [...]Pin It The much-anticipated film adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s awesome book, Ender’s Game, is set for release later this year. I am excited for this one! If you haven’t read the book, you really should. In brief, children fight aliens in a “video game;” but in reality, they are [...]Pin It We all know that Superman comes from another planet – Krypton. And the latest movie to chronicle the life of that superhero, Man of Steel, comes to theaters in just a few weeks. Should be a good flick. But what about other superheroes – do they come from [...]Pin It 47 years ago last month, we made first contact with another planet for the first time.
