On the Shoulders of Giants to the Stars
At the beginning of the space race, there was a motion to put man in space fastest. No grammar did not matter the only thing that did matter was beating the Russians, except when it came to putting a woman in space. Russia beat us by almost 20 years by sending Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova. It was not because we did not have competent women ready to go to space, in fact, there were thirteen of them and they were called the Mercury Thirteen, but because at the time women were still seen as belonging in the kitchen.

Two Betrayed Chapter 5
Racker and Suqqu had continued with their trek 7 miles off the main trail. Racker figured it would be less likely to get ambushed that way. After a few hours of hiking, Racker chose a place for them to sleep, close by there were four large trees that Suqqu could climb up in a hurry should the need arise, and a large rock five feet high and teen feet wide he could use for cover. He set up the canvas sheet for cover should any rain come and as they hunkered down for the night Suqqu asked before going to sleep, "Are we just going to walk right up to him?"

Is Glamping the Next Vision to Archigram’s Endeavour of a Technological Landscape?
Neo-Futuristic architecture is a style that has been debated since the late 20th to early 21st century on how it is becoming more and more relevant today. It brings architecture and technology together to often challenge traditional modernist methods and broaden architects to revaluate design conventions and steer towards a more Avant-Garde impression. This idea of neo-futurism was thoroughly investigated by British architectural firm Archigram, where they challenged the idea of rurality and Neo-futurism together many times. They illustrated how we should adopt nomadism again and create areas of landscape living where we keep our technological comforts. Considering this, in recent years a luxurious camping activity is emerging to do just this, where we indulge in both technology and rurality. In this article, I will explore Archigram’s efforts to sway architects to think of the future, I will see if ‘glamping’ is a new standout wave of neo-futurism and if both these innovative aspects of architecture correlate with each other and have the same vision.

My Review of "See You Yesterday"
I'm in the science fiction phase of the lock down right now. I'm pretty much watching all of the Netflix sci-fi movies. They have some interesting ideas that you can tell other big movie makers didn't want to risk money on. See You Yesterday is a daring movie and for the most part fairly fun. The only thing I had against this movie was the ending.

My Review of "Extinction"
I don't know what's up with my selection of films lately but I'm really getting into Science Fiction movies. I looked at the description and watched the trailer for Extinction and I got a little excited. This movie had come out back in 2018 but without too much hype surrounding it. I wasn't too sure about this movie as the last Netflix exclusive movie that I watched, "This is How it Ends" was kind of a let down.

What is happening to Italy?
Climate change has affected millions of people worldwide through air pollution suffocating some of the worlds highest income cities to typhoons that demolish lower income countries and their villages. No matter where, global warming doesn't discriminate but instead is a result of us as people dumping toxic waste into our rivers and our vigorous use of automobiles without a care or thought of the consequence. I've chosen to study the city of Venice in Italy and how climate change has affected and damaged the city.

Velvet Aura
This is the New Now Age. Not sure about you, but we're pretty tired of all spiritual practises being considered 'hippy,' 'boho,' 'unnecessary.' A lot of platforms for crystal shops, tarot readings, yoga & meditation routines, and more, all seem to have a similar marketing approach: colourful yet minimal, wild yet peaceful, rejuvenated but mature. All those things are fabulous and we definitely like the sound of them, but here, the Velvet Aura team are a bunch of gals from London... we definitely have a bit more of an edge within us.

Would We Have Watched 'Star Trek: Picard' If Picard Were Not In It?
The first season of the CBS All Access TV series Star Trek: Picard has wrapped up, stirring a lot of online fan discussion. Throughout the season, fans conversed back and forth about what they liked and disliked about the series, as is to be expected. In various online threads, people sometimes asked whether or not anyone would be watching the show if it were not focused on Picard. This question has been asked seemingly as a way to evaluate whether the story of this series would have been good enough to carry itself without a familiar character like Picard. My answer to this question is, "No," but for reasons that might not be what one might expect.
