Flight Training with the Starship Enterprise
If you read the blog you know that I come from a military family. This came to me from a family member who was in the military.

10 Hottest Babes of Sci-Fi
There is nothing quite like seeing a hot chick in a hot outfit kicking some alien ass. Maybe it’s the funky hairdos, or the skin tight outfits, or the technobabble being spoken by a pair of ruby red lips. I don’t know, but can you honestly tell me that there’s anything greater? Honestly. Honestly. I…
