  1. JMS is more than just B5. on Straczynski Offers To Re-Boot Star Trek [updated] · · Score: 1

    Anyone who's seen his more recent project with the folks behind Stargate SG-1, "Jeremiah," knows he can project a very strong story without relying on the same old bull. I very much hope that Jeremiah has a chance to be "finished" someday (the story was very much left hanging at the end of S2), but as long as JMS gets his own high-profile show I don't care what label or brand gets slapped on it. JMS would breathe new life into Trek, and anyone who stands in the way of this project is a fool. His new Trek series will, no question, kick ass.

  3. 24 years from now.... on Asteroid To Be Naked-Eye Visible In 2029 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't know about you folks, but I don't intend to let another full generation pass before we have basic things in place like a viable off-world colony and the ability to protect ourselves from the occasional ancient space-pebble.... I mean, come on. This will be a fun show but it's another sign from nature.....like aurora, meteor showers, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami, the very tides themselves....that the Universe is a very dynamic place and we had damned well better be ready for unexpected, occasionally violent change in the 'world as we know it.' Right now the Bush-driven NASA agenda for the Moon and Mars has us just barely managing to get first boots-on-dirt/regolith by this timeframe (2029-2030) and exactly how often has NASA been on schedule with manned objectives in the past two decades or so (no offense my friends, I support your work 100%)??? As for the core objectives of humanity as opposed to politicians, achieving the lion's share of those goals seems mostly like to come from good ol' "private enterprise" in all its bizarre and wonderful forms. I would imagine that Burt Rutan has a few thoughts on these things....
