Hey there, I'm Emil Protalinski. This is FiToSci's anniversary edition; we've been going strong for over a year! This month, you'll notice a new format that emphasizes a balance between rounding up the biggest ways humans brought sci-fi to life while maintaining an easy-to-skim read. There's still a top story for each category, but only two smaller ones, and then a quick rundown of what else happened in the month. The category transition stories remain because they can sometimes be the most fascinating.
