Another spinoff of this project was the GCD - Ground Controlled Descent system. This would allow the radar operator to "talk down" pilots in low or zero visablity situations into landing...and saved many lives, as before the GCD system, if the pilot couldn't find the field, he would either crash, or have to jump out…

The most wide-spread spin-off of Space Technology has probably touched most everyone that has gone into the hospital in the past 20 years, especially those who have ended up in the Intensive Care Units....all those snazzy tools that allow the nurse to monitor the vital signs of a number of patients at the same time…

Now, overlay the Republican and Democratic states and see if there is a correlation....or worse...IQ by state.....

Hear! Hear! Jeff Wayne should have been the soundtrack to the landing!

Ultimately, its success or failure will rest on if it can find a niche to fill that an Android or Apple tablet doesn't. One possible area is the medical practice or in a hospital. If integrated in to some practice management software like Pavuk (http://pavuk.com), you can have a system that eliminates most of the…

Another example of a virus from outer space is Snowcrash.

The province of Alberta would fit right in, especially if the Republicans get a majority in both houses, and elect a President...and the NDP get a majority Government in Ottawa.

Safari is a major problem...and the way that OS X is set up, it is easy to compromise it. Many people don't even password their logins!

I thought "Moon" was a homage to the movie "Silent Running", not SPACE:1999

Ron and Hermione don't make sense, I agree!

I always thought that Harry and Hermione should have been a couple...it would have made more sense.

Just because it's awesome....

Don't forget BOC's collaborations with Michael Moorcock like "Black Blade" and "Veterans of a 1000 Psychic Wars".

Great albums, and hard to get, or even hear about!

The only problem with this collection is that it is album oriented. Many bands and artists have done SF & F oriented songs, but few have done full albums. For example, the band FM has done SF oriented songs on the albums "Black Noise", "Surveillance", and "City of Fear", but only "Black Noise" could be considered an…

Our "intelligence agends" are so good that you don't hear about them...Spies are not like James Bond! I mean, think about it, if our Mounties are like Benton Fraser, then what do you think our spies are like?!?! :-)

Please, some credit where credit is due! The de Havilland company is one of the success stories of Canadian Aviation. Now part of Montreal's Bombardier (the people who invented the Ski-Doo), de Havilland has built and designed aircraft that met unique needs of opening the Canadian North and Alaska, and have been…

What most of the articles fail to mention, or maybe don't understand, is that many places use GPS as a source of a high resolution time signal. Normally, you would have to have somehow synchronized two or more atomic clocks, one at each end, to get an accurate reading. If, on the other hand, you use GPS as a common…

Great article! thanks!

The best SF rock band is, of course, Hawkwind. They have done wonderful songs based upon all sorts of SF tropes, and have an ongoing collaborator by the name of Michael Moorcock...And they have been doing this since the 1970s!
