If you’ve ever imagined donning a pair of glasses and stepping into a virtual starship, piloting through asteroid fields, or watching a 180-inch cosmic display float before your eyes, Sentinel XR is the closest thing to a space-age holodeck you can buy in 2025.

Glen A. Larson was the mastermind behind Battlestar Galactica, a space sci-fi epic that changed television forever. But his legacy stretches far beyond the stars, shaping the DNA of action, adventure, and science fiction TV for generations.

In an era where space sci-fi often prioritizes spectacle over character, Mary Robinette Kowal's "The Spare Man" demonstrates how thoughtful representation, meticulous worldbuilding, and genre-blending can produce a novel that's both entertaining and meaningful—yet somehow remains overlooked by mainstream audiences despite Hugo Award recognition.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building your own C-3PO, tinkering with a robot sidekick, or experimenting with the kind of AI-powered humanoids seen in space sci-fi classics, Zeroth Bot is about to make that dream real. Developed by K-Scale Labs, Zeroth Bot is a fully open-source, AI-enabled humanoid robot platform that’s as accessible as it is advanced.

Based on the creative team’s stated plan, the way Season 3 has re‑focused the plot and characters, and its clear streaming momentum on Apple TV+, the evidence strongly favours renewal for Season 4 — the writers and showrunner mapped the story for four seasons, and Season 3’s results give Apple a commercial and creative reason to greenlight the finale season.

When the book opens, Dalton Greaves is exactly the kind of protagonist Ashton does best: a world‑weary, competent man burned by experience and tossed into an absurdly large problem. Dalton is recruited as one of Earth’s emissaries to a galactic polity and rapidly finds himself negotiating with alien consorts who are, to put it mildly, not human-friendly.

Haven‑1 is a single‑module, human‑centric commercial station being built by Vast Space with a planned un-crewed demo and a crewed mission targeted for mid‑2026, and it’s intended as both a proof‑of‑concept and a stepping stone toward larger commercial stations that could succeed the ISS when it retires around 2030.

Lonely Space is a hand‑crafted sci‑fi immersive sim from small indie studio HC Games that drops you awake and alone on the Cassiopeia space station and asks you to survive, investigate, and decide what kind of person you’ll become in the void.

A fun, SciNexic‑style buyer’s guide to the best space‑sci‑fi LEGO sets on Amazon right now — covering showstoppers for collectors, high‑value rockets for learners, The Mandalorian must‑buys, and notable movie/TV franchise sets released over the last five years.

Season 3 pivots The Ark from trapped survival episodes toward a dual‑track narrative — establishing a fledgling colony while mounting dangerous rescue missions across the system — with an increased focus on exploration, possible first contact, and leadership tested in new ways.

The Mandalorian & Grogu makes the leap from streaming phenomenon to tent‑pole cinema with a first trailer that proves Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni intend to keep the show’s heart while widening the horizon. The teaser arrived on September 22, 2025, and frames a New Republic‑era caper starring Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin and an increasingly powerful Grogu.

The finale, titled “The Darkness,” closes Season 3 with operatic flourishes—Demerzel’s tragic end, the violent collapse of the Cleonic cloning banks, the shocking revelation that Bayta is the Mule, and a final, very deliberate shot of Earth and robots on the Moon—that together reset the series’ stakes and leave a clear runway for Season 4.
