Orbital Bombardment

They say you should always attack from the high ground, and there's no higher ground than from orbit. Today we'll examine orbital strikes, asteroid bombardment, kinetic weapons, dropships, and how to defend from them.

Multi-Species Civilizations & Co-Alien Habitats

Science Fiction often shows us aliens and human living among one another in space, but how realistic are such portrayals and what sort of accommodation would extraterrestrials need for their environments?
