Back when I was a kid, I begged my mom to buy me what I thought of as the Holy Grail of Star Trek reference books, The Star Trek Compendium by Allan Asherman. Of course, it didn’t help that I told her that the name of the book was The Star Trek Emporium–but eventually, trusty mom figured it out and it picked the book up just in time for my birthday.

Congratulations to NASA for a perfect first test flight of America’s new Orion spacecraft! It’s exciting to get back on the road to space, especially since the end of the shuttle program.
However, I can’t help but lament how short of a distance we’ve come, and how much more slowly we’re getting there. It was on May 25, 1961, that president John F. Kennedy addressed the Congress and outlined the goal, before the decade was out, of landing a man on ...
