Star Trek Style Shield: ‘Mini Magnetosphere’ to Make Mars Journey Safer


One of the things that makes extended space travel to places like Mars a suicide mission is the sub-atomic particles that are encountered along the way. Eighteen months of exposure to the radiation of space is likely to leave travelers with some seriously affected DNA, placing them at a higher risk of cancer and other DNA-linked disorders - nasty. That may not be the case for too much longer if scientists from the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford manage to turn their idea into reality. (more…)

Cold Ones Off the Starboard Bow, USS Enterprise Bottle Opener

Enterprise Bottle Opener
If you like Star Trek and enjoy the occasional bit of liquid refreshment, then this just might be the bottle opener for you. Who would have thought that the shape of the Enterprise could lend itself so marvelously to a simple bottle opener. It looks good, but the price is a tad high considering the fact that it only opens bottles and is just begging to be borrowed and not returned by one of your friends.

Price: About $26 [Firebox via Coolest Gadgets]

Birdie on the Starboard Bow, Scotty!

Star Trek Putter

You will certainly be a hero on the golf course with the Star Trek Enterprise putter. It is kinda cool looking if you are Trekkie. From a distance it might resemble a regular putter, even a somewhat upmarket putter, but take a close look. You are putting with the Enterprise, baby. If that’s not cool then I don’t know what cool is. While it is doubtful that it will take any shots off your game your geek credibility will go through the roof.

There are only 1,701 units available at a price of $130 each.

Star Trek Enterprise M.A.C.O. Phaser Rifle Under the Hammer

MACO Phaser Rifle

A little over twenty-four hours remain on the auction for one of the hottest pieces of geek memorabilia that has been seen for a long while.  The phaser rifle featured in a number of episodes and was handled by at least two actors.  That makes it a veteran prop in my book.  Enough of the details, onto the weapon; it is designed to look used and the paint job does a good job of that, but there appears to be a little extra wear and tear.  The seller also makes the disclaimer that time and use have left it slightly tacky to the touch.

A little tackiness, that”s okay, it is made out of resin and it is from Star Trek.  The phaser rifle is painted and anyone skilled with a brush should be able to work a little magic on it, if they want it looking prime for their collection.  This is an awesome prop and deserves to be owned by a real Star Trek fan, not someone who is just planning to resell it.
