Retro-Futurismus
Retro-Futurismus: "Diese Website soll dazu beitragen, das in Vergessenheit geratene Werk dieser Künstler wiederzuentdecken. Auch wenn wir heute mit kritischerem Blick auf ihre kühnen Technik- und Zukunftsvisionen blicken, zieht uns die Kraft dieser Bilder noch immer in ihren Bann."
Space Art in Children's books 1950's to 1970's
Space Art in Children's books 1950's to 1970's: "With the discoveries by Robert Goddard and Hermann Oberth of liquid-fueled rockets in the 1930's and the use of V-2 rockets in the 1940's, rocket travel went from science fiction to science fact in the public's mind. In post-World War II America anything seemed possible, even going to the Moon! There appeared in 1949, a book The Conquest of Space , which led to a new trend in children's books. These books outlined the future the children of the 'baby boom' would grow up in, the world of space (example). The illustrations in these books show facts (as they were known) mixed in with the fantasy of space flight and led many of the readers of these books to 'dream of space'."
Astounding Science Fiction BRE
Astounding Science Fiction BRE: "The British Reprint Edition [BRE] of Astounding Science Fiction was published by ATLAS PUBLISHING & DISTRIBUTION CO. LTD. from 1939 through to 1963.
The BRE content was always a truncated edition of the US original. During the 1940's and early 50's many stories were omitted, Book Reviews and Letters were subject to ruthless pruning, interior art disappeared. Much of this was due to the wartime and post war paper restrictions. Until the end of 1953 the publishers maintained a pulp format. Later editions were digest size and almost full reprints of the US editions running approx. three months behind the original issues.
However, there is one mystery with regard to these BRE's [and indeed all Atlas reprints of American pulps] - the covers were repainted copies of the original. Some were faithful copies, but many were inferior. Despite this, the artwork was always credited to the artist of the original US edition.
This site is designed to show the front cover images of all editions side by side."
Ansible History
Ansible History: "Ansible has been published since 1979 (with one long gap) by David Langford, 94 London Road, Reading, Berkshire, England, RG1 5AU. It first appeared at Seacon '79, the World SF Convention held in Brighton, England, in August 1979. The launch of Ansible resulted from the demise of Peter Roberts's celebrated Checkpoint, which had covered British sf/fan news since 1971 and published its 100th and last issue in September 1979. This first series of Ansible followed Checkpoint's multi-page UK quarto format -- 10' x 8', duplicated (later, partly or wholly lithographed) -- until issue 50 at the next British worldcon, Conspiracy in August 1987. In that year it won its first Hugo award for best fanzine."

Paleofuture - Paleofuture Blog - paleofuture.tv [apocalypse]: "The shiny happy futurism of the 1950s gave way to much darker predictions for humanity in the 1970s. With energy crises, fears of terrorism and skyrocketing unemployment, it's really no wonder that Americans of the 1970s were often pessimistic about the future.
Out of this dread, the apocsploitation film was born.
Movies like Future Shock and The Late Great Planet Earth served up apocalyptic visions of the American future, both secular and religious. The second episode of paleofuture.tv looks at the doomsday documentary films of this era, which strangely enough all seemed to be hosted by Orson Welles. The production values in this episode still leave much to be desired, but I hope you enjoy it!"

Steven Seagal taught Anderson Silva the front kick
Steven Seagal taught Anderson Silva the front kick: "My favorite thing about Steven Seagal, aside from his unique physiological reaction to arousal (ALLEGEDLY), is the absolute conviction with which he undertakes every task. Put a harmonica in front of Steven Seagal’s face, and Steven Segal believes with every fibre of Steven Seagal’s being that Steven Seagal is a famous blues musician. Teach him a few words of Jamaican patois? Guess what, he’s Jamaican now."
