Over the last few years I've acted as a script consultant for the movie 'Stowaway', a few weeks ago I talked about the spacecraft design and other things seen in the trailer. Now the movie is released I want to cover a few more things from the final product and explain how some of my contributions ended up on screen.
As a consultant, I wasn't trying to rewrite the script, I was trying to ensure that the story could be told without too many massive holes in the science supporting it. And this means that whenever I saw ways to save the situation I'd suggest ways to make sure that it wasn't an option.
Here's my previous video covering the trailer:

Xenonauts is an unofficial remake of XCom (also known as UFO in the UK), it's intended to be much more faithful to the original mechanics with expanded base management and air battle events. Version 1.0 has just been released on Steam and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Last Week the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program published the latest set of awards, funding technology investigations which may one day lead to new technologies, new missions or solve problems which might be required in future plans.
Most of these are just funding for the investigators to study the problem, do the math and make a presentation of the findings.

The new(ish) camera on the Delta IV showed the deployment of the RL-10B Nozzle extension so I thought I'd talk about this workhorse upper stage engine.
