Interstellar Trailer

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming Christopher Nolan film, Interstellar, which comes out this November. It’s hard to tell much about the movie itself, but this could very well be a great sci-fi drama, assuming it’s done right. We’ll just have to see!

Warp Drive, Mr. Sulu

Looks like the folk at NASA’s Eagleworks are still hard at work on a possibly plausible faster-than-light system, generally known as an Alcubbierre drive, which is sort-of similar to the warp drive of Star Trek fame. If you have an hour to kill, take a look at this informative talk by NASA’s...

Captain Kirk to Command Navy’s Latest Destroyer

The US Navy’s latest, most technologically advanced destroyer has just hit the water, and it is to be commanded by none other than Captain James Kirk. No joke.
