For people who grew up in the middle of the 20th Century, space travel/exploration has been something of a disappointment since the lunar landings of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The promises of commercial space travel, promoted in such feature films as Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODDESSY have never been realized, and man's toehold in space has been limited to near-earth ventures like the International Space Station (ISS) and the American Space Shuttle program that was shut down several years ago. In a word, disappointing. However, the 21st Century has finally begun to deliver on the promises made by people like President John F. Kennedy and Werner von Braun, thanks to a number of pioneering commercial space ventures that are rapidly beginning to deliver results. Companies like Orbital Sciences and SpaceX, are already providing resupply and retrieval services to NASA for the ISS. And sometime in 2017, SpaceX will fly their first manned mission aboard their own U.S.-built Falcon 9 rocket. These rapid a

Join author, blogger, writer and internet radio host Dariaanne for Writestream Tuesday when she welcomes romance, mystery and suspense author Carmen D'Sousa to the program.  As most writers, Carmen has been reading since she could hold a book and writing since she could hold a pen. In college, she’d dreamed of a career in publishing, but friends and family insisted that a business degree was the safe way to go. After twenty years of climbing her way to the top of the corporate ladder, though, she wanted a change. In 2000, she left behind a fifteen-year job with a guaranteed paycheck where she had to where suits every day and opted for the comfort of her home office and PJs. Twenty-nine months later, her first book, She Belongs to Me, was published. Carmen characterizes her stories as modern-day fairytales, as they are overflow with romance, mystery, suspense, a hint of paranormal sometimes, and of course, tragedy. After all, what would a fairytale be without a tragic event setting the stage? All of her nov

The United States, while a late entrant into World War I, began to contribute to the Allied war effort in 1916 and 1917 with volunteers who wanted to fight the German forces as combat aviators. These first "American Eagles," initially joined up with the French Armié de Aire's famous Lafayette Escadrille, but soon began to join the fledgling Royal Flying Corps/ Royal Air Force (RAF). By the time of America's entry into the "Great War," a sizable force of Americans were already flying, fighting, and dying over the trenches of France and the low countries. There they helped hold the line until 1918, when American flying units began to reach the front. Throughout 1918, these Americans helped hold the line against the great German "Michael" Offensive, and later that summer helped the Allies take the offensive along the entire Western front, leading to the victory of November 1918. To learn more about these very first American combat aviators, join military historian, author and journalist John D. Gresham (@gresha
