Ask the Geeky Girls -
Erika (erka3347) from Virginia asks:
In reference to your space kal and all things that might relate to space, it made me wonder if you all have read the books or watched the show the expanse on the syfy channel. You mentioned so many other space shows and this one was noticeably absent. If you haven’t, read or seen the expanse…my oh my you must check it out! It’s a great story and visually stunning!
