A wonderful little jewel from the Golden Age of Sci-Fi, complete with „Buck Rogers with Sparklers“ look’n’feel scenery and spaceships: What I find especially endearing is the more than blatant product-placement aimed at 1950’s teenage boys… Those were the days.

So, after many years of Microsoft OS grief and some rather appaling experiences concerning Vista I have finally decided to switch. The money returning from Iceland was a big help.

OK, so this is my second article in this blog for today and I stick to the space theme: Virgin Galactic and the State of New Mexico are building the first commercial spaceport for space tourism! Yes! Finally! The 21st Century is here! We still do not have jet packs (which are a […]
