Wasted potential? Admiralty System reviewed.

And the Winners Are…
Before you scroll down the page to see if you’re the lucky person(s), I need to thank a few people without whom this article series and contest would not have been as successful as it has been. Back when the conversation started about starship design, I had no idea how far it would evolve, or how you would react to it. As the process grew … Continue reading And the Winners Are…
