LEGO Build Report: NASA Space Shuttle Discovery
Once upon a time, I was going to be an astronaut. Then I learned more about math and science and noped straight out of that. My career goals changed, but my passion for space never waned. Even though most of the ships in my LEGO collection are of the Star Wars variety, I finally finished…

LEGO Build Report: International Space Station
I asked Twitter which LEGO set I should build next during my spouse’s February work weekend. The overwhelming winner was the Space Shuttle Discovery, a set that clocks in at over 2,000 pieces.

Review: Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse #1) by James S.A. Corey
I purchased this ebook when the first season of the television adaptation aired, but didn’t get around to reading it until a recent vacation.

The Waters of Mars
Things that NASA did not announce today: The discovery of sentient alien life. The development of a working faster-than-light engine. That we’ve been using a Stargate in Colorado Springs to explore the universe since the mid-1990s.

New York City: The Final Frontier?
My husband and I took a short trip up to New York City this past weekend. We met two guys from Israel on a cruise last year, and the amazing power of social media allowed us to keep in touch! When both of them were back on our side of the globe, we couldn’t pass…
