On January 31 1961, Ham was the first terrestrial being to be launched into orbit and return safely to the Earth.
Talkin’ Science is back for it’s third season on Trekzone, and what a blockbuster show we have to open. Dr Brad’s back with details of Axiom Space and SpaceX’s bold bid to launch an all private crew to the Space Station, SpaceX’s mammoth satellite launch a few weeks ago and as President Biden settles into the Oval Office, it appears Space Force is here to stay.
When a Federation starship appears from the future to warn of an imminent threat, it’s up to Kirk and the starship Enterprise to investigate.
Kicking off “Sam Cockings week” here at Trekzone is That Time When we caught up with the fan film CGI guru and Trekyards host about his fan film.
A few years back we were invited to the World Science Fair, which had traveled out of New York for the first time. Attending the event in South Brisbane was Australia’s only astronaut, Dr Andy Thomas.
A huge week in science fiction production news, with Discovery’s nomination for Outstanding Television Drama at the GLAAD Awards, Voyager’s main cast musing about guest stars that could’ve been and Babylon 5’s six year remastering process completing.
A pair of Adelaide-based space companies have partnered with the South Australian government to manufacture and launch it’s first cubesat.
Enjoy our full 208 minute playthrough of 1992’s Star Trek 25th Anniversary from Interplay…
The University of Melbourne is honouring 65, 000 years of astronomy with the first Indigenous Astronomy undergraduate course in Australia.
Luke Sparke’s Occupation Rainfall continues the story he told in Occupation, an indie science fiction movie made right here in Australia that made it big on Netflix. Now, as we near the sequel’s premiere the director and producer beams in for a chat.
Following the American space agencies successful landing on asteroid Bennu in October last year, the plans for the return voyage of OSIRIS-REx have been announced.
Our last flip through the contact list brings us Gary O’Brien, the creator of Chance Encounter and The Holy Core. He’s got a new project, and you’ll hear about it on this edition of A Trekzone Conversation.
Welcome to the new look Trekzone. The recent server move and upgrade took us down a very bumpy, very long road but we’ve emerged out the other side all the better for the experience.
Our final mission for this game is a doozy, it took several attempts to beat the final “boss” – but you don’t have to suffer with me, just sit back and enjoy the highlights!
We’re taking you back to That Time When we first met Larry Nemecek – in November 2013. This first chat was an overview of Star Trek and Larry’s passion for the show, including his work on the official website in it’s hey day.
To promote an upcoming fan film he was working on – before the guidelines – Tim Russ beamed in from our LA studio to chat about Tuvok.
International researchers suggest that water might have formed a mere 100-200 million years after the Big Bang, far earlier than previously thought, and it might have been a key part of the formation of our universe’s first galaxies.
An accomplished international photographer, Charles Brooks, has captured dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at the Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron’s path when it is used. A synchrotron engineer converted radio waves produced in the vacuum chamber into sound files.
The Varda Space Industries W-2 capsule safely returned to Earth at Southern Launch’s Koonibba Test Range completing a dual-purpose mission with payloads from the United States Air Force and NASA at the end of February.
New analysis of marsquakes, which are similar to earthquakes, could offer clues into how Mars has evolved over billions of years, according to new research from The Australian National University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Distant neutron stars typically spin a full 360 degrees within seconds. However, a new type of ‘radio transient object’ – so called as they are detected in radio waves – has emerged that rotate much more slowly. In the time it takes this cosmic lighthouse to rotate you could watch Interstellar twice before it completes a full spin.
An international study led by Australian astronomers has created the most detailed maps of gravitational waves across the universe to date in three new research papers. The study also produced the largest ever galactic-scale gravitational wave detector and found further evidence of a “background” of these invisible yet incredibly fast ripples in space that can help unlock some major mysteries of the universe.
