Cosmos: The Universe Gets a Much-Needed Reboot
It's a rare day when we spotlight a television series, but this is no mere series. Cosmos was a phenomenon when first released in the 80's with Carl Sagan and the reboot with Neil deGrasse Tyson looks to prove it is up to the task to follow and surpass the original.

Looking for that one of a kind gift for your significant other? What better present could you give someone than a 1987 Soviet Intercontinental Bomber, but you better hurry, it's parked in the Ukraine, so someone maybe eyeing the aircraft for a more practical and tactical use.

FAA Appeals Commercial Drone Ruling
The ruling this week making the use of small, hobby-plane-sized commercial drones legal didn't sit too well with the FAA and as expected, the FAA has filed an appeal on the decision from the NTSB.
The FAA wasn't expected to make any rules for commercial drone usage before the end of 2015. Maybe all this activity around this court case now will get it to speed up the process a bit.
