To start this blog i think a good topic to think of is a classic syfy movie that most everyone young and old have seen. I (of course) am referring to star wars. This is a great Hollywood classic with many scientific elements to it. There is inter-space travel, futuristic weapons, and much more. All of which may or may not be possible or true. Recently, a special was run called "Star Wars Tech" by the history channel where scientists and movie critics took light as to what was seen by viewers and what could or is already used in the science world. I felt that even as a young person in the science and engineering community this show did a relatively good job on looking objectively on the topic of the science in the movies and breaking down for most people how it worked, if it worked, and when/if the tech is already available. They break down things such as light sabers, tie fighters and much more. The history channel runs this program so i am also including a link to the history channel site.

Nice! I like how you connect to some other media. Just a few comments: you would benefit from some images and a good proofreading. I'd also like to see your links appear live (they only look hyperlinked when you scroll over them).
ReplyDeleteFinally, I'd like to challenge you to continue to develop your blog design to more accurately reflect your theme.
I have re-arranged some of the links to appear live and have run some proofreading for this posting
