Your time machine to 55 years ago: Science Fact and Fiction LBJ has stepped into the shoes of his assassinated predecessor, JFK.

Galactic Journey

Imagine living at the dawn of the New Wave of science fiction and fantasy. The Gemini and Voskhod space programs have begun, and the Moon Race is hot. Dr. Strangelove has graced the silver screen. Joanna Russ and Ursula K. Le Guin are promising new science fiction authors. Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and the Avengers are bursting onto the comics scene. What would it be like to actually BE there, experiencing life, the movies, the books, the music, day by day? The Traveler and his team live in 1966, regularly commuting 55 years into the future to write about then-contemporary science fiction and fantasy, particularly fiction found in magazines. But that's not all there is to life 55 years ago! So expect to read about the movies, the space shots, the politics, the music, and much more! There is nothing like the Journey anywhere else in the universe. Come jump through the portal and see a world you may but dimly remember, or which you may never have seen before, but without which your time could never have been...

Great reviews from Tam and @wandering.shop : Sidney Poitier and... fuzzy animals with people legs...

June's releases are a study in contrasts: A serious drama of race and labour inequality, paired with a trippy ballet film about dancing pigs.
