Gravity is one of those things without which life as we know it here on Earth could not have existed. Described by science as the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center, and born out of Earth’s rotational spin, ...
By most definitions, Mars is a dead planet. As far as we know, it doesn’t have life of any kind anywhere, and doesn’t really have the means to support life of any kind, anywhere. By other definitions, though, the place is anything but d...
To me, some of the most jaw-dropping movies ever made are the two Pacific Rims. Largely underappreciated by movie fans around the world, they remain to me visual fiestas, with crazy ideas knitted together in a story that, despite its outlandishness...
We’ve been covering custom motorcycles, more specifically Harley-Davidsons, for a long time, and we’ve learned that one of the first things shops like to do to the donor bikes is replace the wheels. Whereas at the front, generally sp...
Once the Artemis Moon exploration program gets going, humanity’s efforts to colonize the solar system will really spring into life. With Artemis, and adjacent projects like the Gateway lunar space station, a wealth of privately funded project...
There are a lot of things we don’t know about planet Mars, and if we are to sometime go there and call the place a second home, we need to get some of those mysteries sorted out. And hardware the likes of the HiRISE camera, which is presently...
The 19th Airlift Wing is one of the many unsung units of the U.S. Air Force, the ones tasked not necessarily with conducting battle, but with making sure other units can do so effectively. It also happens to be the one operating the largest fleet o...
Back in October of last year, we dug up in the collection of custom Harley-Davidson motorcycle builds made in Japan by Bad Land something called Zodiac. The thing was based on a 2017 Breakout, and for all intents and purposes has nothing to do with...
Willy-nilly, earlier in June, the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket meant to kickstart the Artemis Moon exploration program was forced to pass the wet dress rehearsal test that effectively clears it for launch as the Artemis I mission. We say wil...
Back in late June, our trek through the world of custom diecast Hot Wheels brought us face to face with something called the Mazda CX-5 Speed Off-Road. Designed for tabletop rallying games by a shop called Jakarta Diecast Project (JDP), it received...
Historically, the Saturn V rocket will forever be remembered as the backbone of the Apollo program of the 1960s and 1970s, the American effort that put humans on the Moon for the first time. The thing was officially a super heavy-lift launch vehicl...
Try as they might, carmakers have no way of knowing what models will end up becoming collectibles, or turning points in the history of the industry, or milestones of some kind. If they knew, they’d probably keep hold of pretty much everything...
If it weren’t for the still ongoing health crisis, the RV movement would have probably never taken off the way it did. In just two short years, going to sleep in the great outdoors with a wheeled vehicle as a home base moved from being a habi...
Ah, custom motorcycles rear wheels… For some reason, someone somewhere decided at one time that there’s no better way to scream custom that to slap a significantly larger wheel than stock at the rear of the bike. Everyone else followed...
Even in factory form, the Harley-Davidson V-Rods were impressive beasts. And it was only natural for them to be so, given how the line of muscle bikes was specifically created to take on the Japanese two-wheelers that were kings of the segment back...
Harley-Davidson is a bike maker for the masses. The current lineup is made in such a way as to suit both one’s needs and the size of their bank account, as you can get on the back of a stock American two-wheeler for anywhere between $11,000 a...
Back in the year 2008, when this Ford F-250 was born and rolled off the lines, the world didn’t even imagine something like the Cybertruck becoming one of the most eagerly anticipated vehicles of the modern day. In fact, 2008 was the year whe...
Back in 1986, Tom Cruise’s first Top Gun took the world by storm by giving us a glimpse into the lives of U.S. Navy pilots. It made famous or popular planes, maneuvers, actors, and even some military expressions, like “buzz the tower.&r...
If you’re a custom motorcycle fan (especially a Harley-Davidson one), then you know that most of the projects coming into this world at the hands of the many garages out there are trying to steal their 15 minutes under the spotlight. They usu...
The Virginia class of fast-attack nuclear submarines has been around since the turn of the millennium. Taking their names from American states, these incredible underwater machines welcomed a new member within their ranks this past weekend, when th...
