After nine years and a journey of nearly 3-billion miles (4.8 billion km), NASA's Pluto-bound New Horizons robotic…

Reusable isn't always a good thing. It's heavy: doing soft landings on solid Earth would make the capsule more reusable, but would require a lot more weight than parachutes and a splashdown. (Even so, theoretically the capsule should be able to handle refurbishing for up to 10 re-uses.) It's also expensive to build…
The very first test flight for NASA's Orion spacecraft is Thursday December 4th. Here's the nitty-gritty details…
I'm sick of them shipping these manufacturing jobs out of the country! No wonder our economy is in shambles!
Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking? Space dildos!
I am choosing to believe (with perhaps-foolish optimism) that Daryl was playing Carol during the whole bookcase sequence, because that arrow was through the zombie's head *awfully* fast.
It is an incredible day for science when a tiny robot manages to land on a comet. It is an irritating day for…
Abraham's respect for Rosita stopped him. He had already stopped before he looked down and realized she was willing to shoot.
In the first six movies, The Force was actually napping in the corner. It slept right through the conquest by the Sith and mass execution of the Jedi.
Since I saw Pacific Rim, I've endeavoured to keep up with NECA's excellent series of PR Figures as they churn out…

Remember Chris Hadfield's goosebump-inducing cover of "Space Oddity?" Well, after the Canadian astronaut's one-year…
Would have also accepted because "Everybody Hates Chris, including Walkers"

Even after last night's episode of Agents of SHIELD is over, it's still really hard to tell who got played, and who…
It's sad, but this is what happens when you put Jebediah Kerman in charge of launch operations.
Hulk doesn't lose control when he is fighting the hulkbuster Iron Man. You can clearly see the Hulk standing peacefully next to police officers in that scene, who are busy shooting down the street at something, totally fine with Hulk standing right next to them. They are clearly on the same side of things. The…
The version that doesn't require 3-D glasses is pretty cool-looking, too.
It drives me crazy that NASA and more directly the US government want to ignore the Moon, a place humans have been to a few times, and want to jump right to Mars. Wouldn't it make more sense to build a Moon base and use that as a staging area to explore the rest of the solar system?
The prospect of future tourists gawking at the ice fountains of Enceladus, the volcanoes of Io and the grand canyons…
I am having a hard time trying to figure out why we should colonize Mars. Why would anyone want to live there?
