Behind the Scenes of DESTINATION MOON

WOW!! I got to attend the "press preview" of the amazing new exhibit Destination Moon at the Museum of Flight (opens April 13, 2019) in Seattle! Here is an exclusive FIRST LOOK at this exhibit, including interviews with curators from the Museum of Flight (Geoff Nunn) and Smithsonian (Kathrin Halpern), and insights from the Museum of Flight's CEO (Matt Hayes). Plus tons of cool space stuff!

I've only scratched the surface of Destination Moon in this video. Of course the centerpiece is Columbia, the Apollo 11 Command Module. This is THE BEST view you'll ever get of the CM, no glass or case covering it! But there is so much more... flight suits, EVA gear, tactile and VR exhibits, and even the real "F1" engines from the Saturn V rocket that launched Apollo 11 (they were rescued off the ocean floor!).

If you're in Seattle, GO SEE THIS to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing!

Video: Congrats Event Horizon Telescope!

An incredibly cool image has been published: the first actual picture of a black hole! And not just any black hole, but a "supermassive" black hole more than a billion times the mass of our Sun, in the center of M87. Wow! I'm just a spectator like everyone else, but I had a chance to meet one of the EHT scientists a few years ago, and today am so excited for the team! Congrats!!

Video: Strange New Worlds (podcast)

A couple weeks ago I sat down with Michael Wong to record an episode of his awesome podcast "Strange New Worlds". We talk about a mix of Science and Star Trek, and I give my prediction about who the Red Angel is on Star Trek Discovery! Here are some highlights, including my FAVORITE planet in all of the Trek universe....
