I wonder if they will ever make a movie out of Altered Carbon. I can’t decide if they should or not, but there are parts of that book that would be well suited to becoming part of a movie.

Robert Heinlein’s “I Will Fear No Evil” is clearly the source material, besides the gender swap, love interests and the Moon.

So, the AI monsters have already learned to successfully imitate Linus Torvalds... Sheesh.

No it isn’t.

So, you think the unlivable conditions of Mars will ever be more human-friendly than any unlivable conditions on Earth? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Considering Earth has bounced back and forth between species for billions of years, it will always be more life friendly than any other planet. We could…

I was always more into Major Matt Mason myself. He was an Apollo-era toy astronaut . . . .

Thank you very much for the update. This is very good news and I feel 1,000 times more excited now. Have you seen the latest photos, which include four dark spots equally spaced along Pluto’s equator? (I assume you must have.) Surprising they are.

Babylon 5. Slog through the first season, and you’ll be rewarded with some really smart and interesting sci-fi.

By the look of it, this might be up your alley too:

I’m skirting the line picking an anthology series, but the mid-90s incarnation of The Outer Limits was a favorite of mine. I think people had just stopped being into that kind of storytelling. But they gathered some really good material and pretty awesome actors to make it a distinct reboot.

Also, see HerbertHasCandy’s response of a more apropos example: the X-37B, operated by the USAF. Unmanned, but definitely military, and…

Don't sweat it, they still miss even at point blank range.

Oh, a correction not to the actual obit, but to one of the articles quoted in it. The Bond movie Honor Black left THE AVENGERS to do was GOLDFINGER, not DR. NO as cited above.

As I recall, this was cheekily alluded to on THE AVENGERS when Steed got a postcard from Cathy Gale (Blackman’s character) and wondered what on…

The Pentagon might have some pictures, but they don’t like to share.

Russia and China are great friends!!!.......until they are not

Wait wait wait... why arent you covering this like the global privacy apocalypse you will soon be presenting it as? This is a lot more powerful than the time stamp on your text messages...

Gentlemen! There’s no space-fighting in here, this is the space-war-room!
