Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

Reid Gower, the space nerd who’s been promoting NASA through YouTube, has a new entry in his Sagan Series about the end of the manned space era. It’s only been a couple of hours since the final shuttle launch, but if your goosebumps have recessed, get ready for them to come back. And read our interview with him here.

Update: The music is by Explosions in the Sky, who just made their first music video, and it’s also quite spacey.
