There are many science fiction shows that feature a teleport or transporter device of some description.

Basically a device to disassemble an object or person and then reassemble them at some great distance away.

NASA is looking to name Node 3 of the International Space Station, and is looking for you to help.

With less than a month to go, it looks like Joss Whedon's Sci-Fi TV series Firefly is a sure bet, with the sexy sculptured ship from the show "Serenity" a sure thing with 86% of the vote.

For your reference, here are the two craft for comparison:

A new form of carbon ribbon is paving the way to bring the artists science fiction idea of a space elevator from the realms of sci-fi to sci-fact.

Arthur C. Clarke, in his 1978 novel, Fountains of Paradise, depicted engineers constructing a space elevator on top of a mountain peak in the mythical island of Taprobane. (closely based on Sri Lanka, the country where Clarke resided). The builders used advanced materials such as the carbon nanofibers now in laboratory study.

NASA holds competitions similar to the x-prize to inspire people to come up with materials that can make a space elevator possible. The team behind the new ribbon material developed it for one of NASA's competitions.

Heading off to Mars has always been the next human endeavour into space

When the novelty of throwing robots at mars wears out, we will have to start throwing live people at it. Thanks to some British scientists, the humans we send might have a better chance of arriving - and alive too! The idea is to use a portable "mini-magnetosphere" which should protect a spacecraft from harmful solar storms and cosmic rays in much the same way the Earth's magnetosphere naturally protects the planet.

Why Science Fiction Art and Sculpture?

You know I never thought of Sci-Fi as some weird thing for geeks.  I have heard people say that they “Hate Sci-Fi because it’s all make believe rubbish”. Interesting thought... and a very limiting belief. I see Science Fiction as Science Possibility. I hope that shows through in my Art, Drawings and Sculpture.  Especially the stories behind the works. Every artwork that I create, has been carefully thought out with the frame-work of  "If this was real, what would it be like, how would it function, and what would it have to have..." Science Fiction Art has always fascinated me. To me it really shows the future...  Keep in mind the fact that around 200 years ago we were all still dicking around in sailing ships.  Now we have been to the moon, are planning manned trips to Mars...

With time travel, change is everywhere... Anywhen is possible.

I travel to other times and places Stars are born, planets form, grow, and in what seems like the blink of an eye, life may take pride of place clinging to their surface.  Some life learns to spread its wings and even reach out for the stars. Even these civilisations come and go.  Every civilisation has its time to shine. Its Art and culture. Its moment of glory. These moments are never lost however, and exist in time. Time is a complex tapestry, of every choice that could, would, and will be, every possibility exists. Remember that choice you made this morning just after you woke up?  Yes, that one. What if you chose the other option?  What would be different now?
