Why the Super Tomcat 21 Was Not To Be: Designed to incorporate the air combat experience learned during the Vietnam wᴀʀ, the Grumman F-14 was the first of the American “Teen Series” fighter jets that would include the F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the F/A-18 Hornet. During its three decades in service with the United States Navy, the F-14 Tomcat more than lived up to the role it was initially designed for, drawing blood in combat and even getting its moment in the spotlight in the film Top Gun. The carrier-based multi-role fighter was developed after the United States…

When Briana gave birth to five lovely infants in May, Briana and Jordan Driskell undoubtedly received more than they bargained for.

Marvel fans have been talking about Tom Cruise potentially being Iron Man in MCU conversations for a year now, and this amazing video highlights why. Tom Cruise has been at the center of a lot of legendary movies in his career. He is still leading the Mission Impossible movies after two decades and the long-awaited Top Gun sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, made history at the box office last year, grossing an incredible $1.5 billion. However, could we ever see him appear in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie? That’s a question Marvel fans spent a lot of last year asking, specifically as there…

Dwayne Johnson has become one of the world’s biggest movie stars, but one unmade remake from the 2000s could have totally changed his career. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson once circled a remake of a ’70s classic that could have transformed his career in a big way. The history of wrestlers trying to leap to the big screen is spotty at best, and it once looked like The Rock was destined not to make the transition. He started strong with the success of The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King, but while he was hyped as the natural successor to Arnie…

In the upcoming decades, unbelievable and somewhat terrifying futuristic scenarios will come to pass. Future inhabitants, according to futurologists, will become immortal and inhabit mechanical bodies. According to Dr. Ian Pearson, a person will eventually be able to transfer their minds into computers and attend funerals where their former biological bodies would be interred. Cyborgization does provide some benefits. Let’s consider the possibility of replacing each of our limbs with a superior one. Modern advanced prostheses provide a sensation of touch, allowing us to feel things like temperature, pressure, and the material an object is made of. We could acquire…

A green comet that has just been discovered is going to fly past our Pale Blue Dot and could possibly be seen with the unaided eye. The named green comet, designated C/2022 E3 (ZTF), was expected to approach the Sun between January 12 and February 2 before orbiting back towards Earth.

Observers in the Southern Hemisphere should be able to see it starting…

He may have scaled the Burj Khalifa, but he has yet to direct a feature. In some sense, to recognize that Tom Cruise has never yet directed a feature length film is genuinely surprising. Few actors are as unrelentingly enthusiastic about the act of filmmaking as Cruise, and there’s no shortage of A-list movie stars who have used their status, connections, and filmic experience to dabble in the art of filmmaking. John Cassavetes, one of the most crucial and influential directors of the latter half of the 20th century, booked his now-famous acting roles in films like The Killers, The…

X-15 is a hypersonic rocket aircraft designed and built by North American for NACA (later NASA) testing. It set speed records in the 1960s that remain unbroken some 60 years later. An unbelievably ambitious project that actually paid off. A lot of valuable data was gained and implemented into future aircraft design. Maximum SpeedEven in the late 1940s aircraft designers were dreaming of speeds that not only exceeded the speed of sound but much much faster than that. The Douglas X-3 Stiletto was one such aircraft. The Stiletto was intended to fly at twice the speed of sound – an…

The first of McDonnell Dauglas’s (Boeing from 1997) Hornet upgrade concepts to reach fruition is the F/A-18E Super Hornet. The first F/A-18E made its maiden flight in November 1995 and the first aircraft was formally accepted into service with VFA-122 on 15 January 1999. The avionics upgrade is centred on the Raytheon APG-73 radar as already fitted to late versions of the F/A-18C.

Our galaxy should be full of traces of dead stars. Until now, we have found surprisingly few of these supernova remnants, but a new telescope collaboration is changing that. EMU and PEGASUS, two significant astronomical research initiatives, have teamed up to address one of the unsolved riddles of the Milky Way: where are all the supernova remnants? An expanding cloud of gas and dust that remains after a star has exploded as a supernova is known as a supernova remnant. However, the amount of supernova leftovers that radio telescopes have been able to find thus far is insufficient. Where are…
