Space, the final frontier
It finally happened, Captain Kirk himself finally made it to space this week at the age of 90!
You can debate all you want on if Blue Origin really goes in to space or not, but since they cross the Kármán Line I’m going to say, yes, Captain Kirk was in space.
G4 TV is back!
When I first got DishTV back in the late 90s, one of the big reasons I wanted satellite TV was for ZDTV. Finally, I could watch a bunch of shows about geeky people just like me. ZDTV became G4 TV, which seemed to be a transition to more mainstream appeal. It was still watchable, and I did up to when G4 TV left DishTV. I used the cancellation of the network as the reason why I was dropping DishTV in the early ‘00s.
Well, now G4 TV is back, and a lot of familiar names are coming back too. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to watch it since I don’t subscribe to any of the services that offer it. Here’s hoping that they become more available as time goes on!
