There's something about sci-fi horror that hits all the buttons for me. Derelict spaceships the size of cities, creatures engineered by science or nature to be perfect predators and the claustrophobia of space all manage to get me excited every time. The Alien franchise made me fall in love with this sub-genre, along with gems like Dark City and Event Horizon. One of my lesser-known favorites is Pandorum.

Here’s How to Deflect a Dangerous Asteroid Without It Totally Backfiring

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-27 23:30:14

In September 2022, NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid, successfully altering the space rock’s trajectory. The orbital shove demonstrated an asteroid deflection technique that could come in handy if a massive rock were headed in Earth’s direction. As it turns out, however, deflecting a potentially threatening asteroid is only half the battle. Striking an asteroid for deflection purposes could send it back on a collision course with Earth, merely delaying the planet-shatterin
