Star Trek Beyond

There is an old Trekker adage that Star Trek movies follow the even formula, as in, all the even numbered Trek films are good, Khan, Voyage Home, Undiscovered Country, First Contact etc. With the new, JJ Abrams inspired “Kelvin Timeline” Star Trek series, the hope was that all the films would be good. But, the even numbered film formula has devolved into the law of diminishing returns; Star Trek Beyond, the 13th Star Trek film, unfortunately lives up to both adages.

Into The Black by Rowland White

Rowland White's fourth book tells the tale of the development of the first two Space Shuttles, Enterprise and Columbia. Following the crews that would glide Enterprise from the back of a 747 and then blast off atop the loudest rockets ever built, Into The Black is a fascinating tribute to Columbia.
