You can check out the entire launch and recovery of the craft (minus its payload of one Tesla Roadster) here (The actual launch happens a little before the 30 minute mark).

Ursula K. Le Guin has passed away at age 88
One great masters of genre fiction has passed away today. It’s difficult to put into words just how influential and powerful a voice she was in the genre.

Twenty-Five Years of Deep Space Nine
By the Prophets! Has it really been a quarter of a century since DS9 debuted?
Giving us a darker, richer, more character-driven series than the previous two incarnations of Star Trek (and most TV Sci-Fi), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine set out on different path and changed the genre forever. By not allowing the characters to warp away from the previous week’s adventure, they were forced to deal with long-term consequences.
The show had its ups and downs. Sure there was “Move Along Home” and “Time’s Orphan” but there was also “The Visitor,” “Duet,” and “In the Pale Moonlight.”
Raise a glass of kanar or bloodwine (2309 vintage, if you please) in toast.
Variety has a great write-up on the series and it’s 25th birthday.

Women-Led Movies Topped 2017
Running counter to Hollywood’s long-standing (and self-perpetuated) myth that woman can’t lead blockbuster movies, the top three films of 2017 all had female leads. Perhaps a shift is coming?
- Star Wars: The Last Jedi – $533 Million
- Beauty and The Beast (2017) – $504 Million
- Wonder Woman – $412 Million
- Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 – $390 Million
- Spider-Man: Homecoming – $334 Million

Halloween Countdown: Get Out
So we’re counting down to -2. But it’s a great movie that deserves mention and a review.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Star Trek: Discovery Gets A Second Season
Apparently enough people are signing up for CBS All Access to warrant a second season of the newest entry in the Star Trek family.
Six episodes in, what do you all think (or are you, like me, waiting until the season wraps and binge it all)?
