Here’s an article about Dr. Harold “Sonny” White and the efforts of his group at NASA JSC to investigate the feasibility of creating warp space in a manner that could allow faster than light travel:  Faster Than the Speed of Light? – NYTimes.com.

A Rocket on Masterpiece Endeavour

A reader points me to the PBS Masterpiece series Endeavour, which is set in the mid-1960s, and the latest episode Series 1: Rocket. An important part of the plot is played by a Bristol Bloodhound surface-to-air missile.

Watch Endeavour: Rocket Preview on PBS. See more from Masterpiece.

Spacevidcast: Lacuna Passage – a Mars survival game

Spacevidcast latest Spacepod short program is about a new Mars based game seeking Kickstarter funding: Lacuna Passage – Spacevidcast

Lacuna Passage is a story-driven exploration and survival game set on Mars. Not only do you get to play a realistic game based on the red planet, but the only areas you are able to explore are those that have imagery from our martian satellites or rovers. The terrain and texture you will see is taken from actual pictures of Mars!

For details about the game, see Lacuna Passage by Random Seed Games — Kickstarter
