Okay, I’m a big space exploration fan, right? I eat that stuff up. But even I question this showing up as the top story on CNN this morning. I refreshed a few times to make sure it wasn’t a random thing, and sure enough, it was hardwired as the top story. I love space stuff, guys, but this is serious sidebar material with all that’s going on on this planet.

Hey Jupiter, nothing's been the same.

IT'S SHRINKING! IT'S SHRINKING! Besides, before we go organizing a benefit concert to save the Great Red Spot, anyone who’s seen or read 2010 should know what’s really going on here. 😉… Read more

I'm just your typical compulsively-writing, sci-fi-and-science-obsessed, classic-video-game-playing, action-figure-collecting dad.

That's me in red with the smooth round head.

I edit Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast and its sister shows Mission Log: Prodigy and Mission Log: The Orville for Roddenberry Podcasts. I was a frequent writer, editor, and voice on the daily Sci-Fi 5 podcast for Roddenberry, and I created and currently co-host Mission Log: Gene-ology. I handle video production on Mission Log Live, Mission Log: Prodigy and Mission Log: The Orville. I'm the technical director for the TrekTalks online telethon event benefiting Hollywood Food Coalition.

I also run theLogBook.com/theLogBook.media and host podcasts here, including Retrogram, Select Game and Don't Give This Tape To Earl. I've written several books (WARP!1, VWORP!1, VWORP!2, and "Fatherhood, Fandom And Fading Out), and produced the Phosphor Dot Fossils video game documentaries. On YouTube, I still occasionally produce and host the ongoing Phosphor Dot Fossils and Voyages Of Shelf Discovery series. Follow me on Twitter @LogBookGuy, like theLogBook.com on Facebook, or contact me here.

Gene-ology 53 - Beyond Atlas

Welcome to Gene-ology, where we explore the earliest TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek!
