This looks crazy!



and this looks like it will be decent!


The Expanse has been saved by Amazon and renewed for a fifth season.


In the 1960s Star Trek was big and by the 90s Star Trek had a viewership that would rival the audience sizes of today's cop shows and Game of Thrones.

Why have TV viewers turned their back on space?

Actually, looking back at the original Star Trek shows - they were incredibly stupid many of them. The Enterprise itself and some of the space imagery was cutting edge though. I loved the later movies they made ....

Back in the 60's we thought by 2020 it would be like the Jetson's....

The public is no longer proud of the United States and has no interest in national success. Those that do show a national pride are called racists.
