NERD ALERT! Super Stoked About Stargate Reboot!

I'm a little late in the game, but I still thought I'd share a note saying, "Woot! Woot!" My favorite sci-fi franchise is getting a reboot, and it's about time! I was pretty sure Stargate had gone to it's starry grave, but no! It has been resurrected. Hallelujah!

According to The Wrap, last month there was an announcement that Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the original 'Stargate' creators are back on board in partnership with MGM & Warner brothers for a new Stargate film, set to be a trilogy. I don't know about you, but I am glad to hear the Stargate universe (not to be confused with the show Stargate Universe) is set to come back to life. Sci-Fi fans have been petitioning to save the franchise for quite some time. The trilogy has a lot to live up to. According to The Wrap, "at the time of “Stargate's” release in 1994, the film set the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend in October and went on to gross nearly $200 million worldwide at the box office."

Will this new trilogy spark a new generation of Stargate fans or will it fizzle flat in comparison to the universe fans so dearly love? 

Only time will tell, but this sci-fi nerd will be lined up to see it on opening night.

NERD ALERT: NASA Designed A Warp Drive Ship Right Out of 'Star Trek'

Yep, that's right. This is not a fictional post! This might sound like something straight out of your favorite science fiction TV shows and movies, but it is in fact something that NASA is seriously researching.

Want the short version? As PolicyMic reports via io9, this is how it works: " 'In terms of the engine's mechanics, a spheroid object would be placed between two regions of space-time (one expanding and one contracting)," explains io9. "A 'warp bubble' would then be generated that moves space-time around the object, effectively repositioning it — the end result being faster-than-light travel without the spheroid (or spacecraft) having to move with respect to its local frame of reference.'

That means the spacecraft won't actually be traveling faster than light; it'll bend the spaces around it and make distances shorter, which is much cooler."

Here are some beautiful concept model images.

If you want to hear more of the nerdy scientific details behind this concept model, check out this YouTube video.


To be frank, I can't say I understand everything he is saying in this video, but I am interested in the idea nonetheless.

By the way, if you didn't notice, the model is aptly named after the starship USS Enterprise.

What sci-fi concepts do you hope will become reality?
