Current Feature:

To Mars, on Sheer Inertia
by Dr. Adam L. Gruen

"The odd thing about the idea of sending humans to Mars, whether for the
purpose of planting flags or establishing human colonies on the red planet,
is that it reveals a stultifying lack of imagination."

This is the first in a possible series of articles on space exploration.
Later, we'll have an article arguing the case for a permanent human presence
on Mars.

Film:

Méliès The Magician
DVD reviewed by Jesse Walker

"Georges Méliès gets a bad rap. The pioneering filmmaker, who lived from
1861 to 1938, is remembered as one of the founding icons of the movies; in
the traditional formulation, he's seen as the godfather of film fantasy
while his contemporaries the Lumiere brothers are hailed as the creators of
documentary realism."
