Never took you for a comic book fan @Bluewolf! I haven't read any of it since my early teens and now am slowly getting back into it. Won't bore you with all the titles in the Star Wars universe that I've read or am currently reading (Darth Vader one is absolutely amazing though ), but there are also a few others that I hold in high regard... Just started reading Saga a while ago. It's a weird sci-fi-fantasy-romance-war-adventure epic that has it all - there is magic, profanity, television-headed robots, intergalactic bounty hunters, nudity, endless warfare, complex villains, empathetic heroes, ghostly baby-sitters and spaceship trees, all beautifully realised in a distinctive digitally painted style. Love it. Another one - Valérian. A classic French sci-fi series first published in the late 60s and was arguably a Star Wars inspiration to a certain degree... It is a true space opera that takes the reader off into the universe of the distant future, where two agents, Valérian and Laureline, travel through time-space in a vessel chartered by Galaxity, the capital of the Earth Empire. Their travels are jam-packed with adventure, humor and fantasy. East of West - a science fiction Western set in a dystopian version of the United States whose fate rests with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Descender- my new favourite. One young robot's struggle to stay alive in a universe where all androids have been outlawed and bounty hunters lurk on every planet. A rip-roaring and heart-felt cosmic odyssey that pits humanity against machine, and world against world, to create a sprawling space opera in the aftermath of the collapse of a great and shining human civilization. And then of course there's Heavy Metal... Recently found the whole archive online so slowly working through it... I'm still amazed with the art in it.

Bruce Willis is getting ready for it ... Seriously though, NASA announced a while ago that it will commence testing its planetary defense system in the next couple of years (December 2020- May 2021). It's called DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) and it will send the DART spacecraft on a collision course with the non-threatening asteroid Didymos to test the spacecraft's ability to change the direction of the celestial object.

Get in! Also their future missions will focus on development of technologies required to build an actual Moon base.

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.

The revamped one! So two-part miniseries and then the subsequent four seasons of the TV show...

Just finished The Expanse a few days ago, starting rewatching Battlestar Galactica after a long time.

Great for him if true! First and foremost I hope he'll be able to impress in his maiden season in F2 though.

This is so fascinating... first life form to be grown on another solar body other than Earth!

Good to hear hehe... That glass terrarium looks very nice; plenty of space for the gecko as it looks huge! I normally don't feel at ease with animals in captivity (not judging there; I have been tempted to domesticate them on quite a few occasions myself haha), but this looks like a really nice place for a lizard. Are they going to get crickets for the gecko to hunt in the cage?

Pet rats are lovely

This is Patrick:

Just took this photo of the Moon... preparing for the eclipse!

Love geckos. We have loads of them everywhere here; catch all the insects in the house and is great to watch when they hunt!

You should never underestimate human stupidity...

This is class

Haha it's never his fault is it, always finds someone or something else to blame. What an arrogant miserable little shit. Rinus van Kalmthout surprisingly good! Also David Schumacher looks to be improving fast.

Drink in a hotel bar. Problem solved

Is this a capybara?

Ask and you shall receive... They're not exactly erupting with joy haha... Different culture.

Finally we get more infos and photos/videos of the Chinese Chang'e-4 lunar lander and rover on the far side of the moon! Here's the actual landing video from the onboard camera released earlier today:

This is for suborbital VTOL tests. Orbital version is taller, has thicker skins (won’t wrinkle) & a smoothly curving nose section. Looks like a typical 50s or 60s scifi rocket That's how the actual Starship should probably look:

Race 1 is already finished; Ticktum's car stopped working and David Schumacher finished 7th... And yes, it's on youtube; both remaining Saturday races will be shown on the official channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUNlMDabhmu0y7qD4rcgizg Race 2: 4:10am CET Race 3: 11am CET

F3 Asian Championship Winter Series first round in Thailand this weekend. David Schumacher drives for Pinnacle Motorsports (Philippines) and will have to compete against his girlfriend who's also a racing driver and is participating in this series too Ticktum on pole for Race 1. @Tommy

No pressure... You can always binge-watch the Expanse instead
