On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis (designated 99942) will pass within 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of Earth—an incredibly close distance in astronomical terms. This asteroid is about 1,100 feet (340 meters) in diameter. NASA assures us there is no risk of Apophis impacting Earth for at least the next century (really). If you’re curious,…

The night of August 12th 2024, I think the world caught up to Science Fiction: The Musk/TRUMP interview. It was set to start at 8:00 PM ET on the X platform. I logged in and made a bee line to Elon’s feed and tried to join the space, but in doing so the platform froze……

As a writer of science fiction, I draw inspiration from the silent mentors of my past: George Orwell, Ayn Rand, Ursula K. Le Guin, and others. Like all writers of fiction, I hope to pass on something I have said that others will use as a compass for themselves. Reading George Orwell’s 1984 for the…

I was reading a briefing from Goldman Sachs, this morning, of their analysis that the robotics industry may grow faster than expected—AI being a catalyst— and the need for humanoid robots are on…

Open AI’s new platform, SORA is mind bendingly crazy beautiful. The platform (model) was developed to create realistic… and I mean realistic… scenes from text. The current model can produce video up to one minute long, which is long enough to change reality. The SORA model was released to the RED TEAMERS, who will weigh…

It seems like OMD’s song “Maid of Orleans” and how it might have been overlooked is not uncommon; many significant events, whether in music, art, or other fields, can sometimes be overlooked or not receive the recognition they deserve in their time. When I heard this song back in 1981, I was living in Noank,…

This is my most anticipated film of all time. The Challenge. A Russian made film (started in 2021) and the world’s first feature-length Science Fiction-Drama that was filmed (partially) in space with actors, by the professional filmmaker, Klim Alekseevich Shipenko. Although not the first film to ‘use’ scenes shot in space; this is exceptionally different. The actual footage presented…
