The United States winning the space race....every....damn....time. Also the stupid one about rugby evolving into some sort of popular sport.

Some questions: 1. Did I miss the reason why Texas is not telling the other states the U.S. has been invaded? 2. Did I miss why Jamaica isolated itself from the U.S. 3. Why didn't Laforge(the attempted assinator) figure into things more? 4. Could blacks have fled to the island of South...

Cold war politics and the low quality of the military at the time would have tied any president's hands be it Carter, Ford or Reagan. There will be no military or economic moves(least any that would actually weaken Iran's military capacity) by the U.S. The risk of invasion by the Soviets(who...

What if Gene gets shot down over Germany and spends time after his release in Germany which leads to him liking the country and settling there? Not familiar with German tv, but could Gene have made the series there?

Oct. 10th 1964 -- Coast Guard calls off search for the S.S. Minnow. *Not going to spin out any more than this, but you have the 'Mosqitos' rock band, a Mars probe, an pretty advanced robot, Herald Hecuba's "Hamlet" set to the music of "Carmen" running on Broadway, A woman aviator making an...

Its not a story, but more in the way of a report: Assesment of the loss of the experimental ship, Event Horizon. After reviewing all telemetry and logs of the Event Horizon, the investigative group has found the following: Engineering: – The FTL drive when powered up to full...

Nope. Got the idea one night trying to sleep. Kicked it around a few days then wrote the piece. The only other science fiction thing I've done is an after action report based on the events in "Event Horizon".

My attempt to address this: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I'm here to clarify an earlier statement that I made...that we are now living in an alternate timeline. First I want to give you the evidence that led me to this conclusion. Curiosity about timelines led me to look back...

Do the series up to WWI then end it or totally bypass the Nazi Germany in America story line. Quit reading the series at that point because the concept basically is a boring one and a little unrealistic in my opinion. Plus the writing started to suffer at that point.

How about a bamboo bike or would it be too brittle?

So does the CSA have 10 inning baseball with 4 outs? Does the great love affair with gridiron football never get started or does the CSA get involved with that less manly sport of, gasp, soccor? Someone better start a car company somewhere, so that the beloved tradition of NASCAR comes about...

Was going to vote for the blow over option. I mean the original war of independence was a close run thing, so what chance do 4 states have. Also if Dixie can build railroads and ships then the basic economy has to be further away from the original plantation economy. If industrialized, I...

So where's the canal zone going to be or will there be 2 competing canal zones? :) Are you using some program to game this out? Not recognizing the maps or results screens.

Sorry. Disregard the thing about Victoria. Its a game by Paradox Interactive. I thought your Mexico map looked like the game map, but was mistaken.

One thing I don't see discussed is the teams behind the candidates. Would each nominee have the same election team as Romney? I think his team did a very bad job running the campaign. What strategy could they have used to do better?
