Accessing Earth's Core

All of our civilization exists only a thin layer of Earth's surface, and our deepest mines barely scratch our planet. We often talk about finding new mineral resources on other worlds or asteroids in the future, but are we ignore a treasure beneath our feet, and what other technologies and engineering might we utilize in Earth's depths?

Welcome to the Galactic Community!

We often wonder how we might first meet extraterrestrials, picturing flying saucers and UFOs landing and aliens emerging asking to be taken to our leader - but joining the galactic community might be a very strange experience.

Gods & Monsters: Space As Lovecraft Envisioned It

H.P. Lovecraft is known as the father of the Cosmic Horror genre of fiction. The creator of Cthulhu and many other terrifying dark gods in his novels paints a bleak and decaying view of our world and the Universe. Today we'll examine what it might imply if that nihilistic and grim view of reality was correct.
