The pandemic has forced my friends at Rural Grit Happy Hour back in Kansas City to move their weekly open mic session online. It's sad that they can't meet in person, but it has allowed me, three years after moving to the East Coast, to join in on something I've sorely missed. It's great to (virtually) hang out with these folks once again.

A couple of weeks ago, the theme was Songs About Food, and it prompted me to complete an idea that had been floating untethered in my head for a while.

For the action-packed video version of this song, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqxP18LbsCQ&t=35s

Our future in space may be one of millions or even trillions of vast space station, space habitats, and megastructures. How would a space-faring civilization going about traveling around such an immense solar empire?

The Fermi Paradox: Galactic Disasters

Spaceships and fleets of the future may host their own unique civilizations of nomads, traveling the space lanes or venturing deep into interstellar space to colonize the galaxy or flee peril. What would such cultures be like?

Nomadic Space-Based Civilizations

Nuclear Fission was once hailed as the solution to our power & energy needs, but has grown unpopular of fears of radiation, meltdowns, and radioactive waste. However, advances in science and reactor design may make atomic energy safer and more attractive in the future.

The Future Of Fission

Science Fiction delights in showing us grim, dark, giant, and dystopian future cities of covered in garbage and where life is cheap, but how realistic are such metropolises and how can we avoid living in them?
