Meet your alien bestie, not beastie (science documentary).
Science fiction books, films, and TV shows usually show aliens and humans living in relative harmony across the galaxy, but how realistic are such portrayals and what sort of accommodation would extraterrestrials need for their environments?

Halcyon Power Loader Model: a model-building exercise article by: GF Willmetts.
Introduction A couple years back, moving in a new bookcase into my front room, I hadn’t anticipated the whoopf! of air pressure putting it in place and sending my Halcyon model of the Aliens’ Power Loader flying off the top of an adjacent slice of furniture, trashing it and the difficulties in repairing the arm […]
