  Four Stargate Stars Are Headed To Shore Leave
  
  

  Quote:Ben Browder, Claudia Black, and many more sci-fi stars will be in Baltimore for this summer's big fan-run convention.
  
  Four of Stargate’s favorites are coming to Baltimore! Organizers of the fan-run Shore Leave convention have announced the initial line-up of guests for this summer’s event, so far with ten guests spanning TV favorites like Stargate, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, and The Orville.
  
  Stargate cast members joining the 2023 event include Ben Browder (“Cameron Mitchell”), Claudia Black (“Vala Mal Doran”), Alaina Huffman (“Tamara Johansen”), and Robert Picardo (“Richard Woolsey”).
  
  This year’s event takes place July 7 to 9 at the Hunt Valley Inn-Delta in the Baltimore, Maryland area. Shore Leave organizers expect around 1,500 people to attend the 43rd annual genre celebration.

  There is no news on the rumored/much-desired new production since the January 10 article "Stargate Is Not On The Just-Announced MGM+ Development Slate".

  Looks like a really interesting con. I see they have a section of guests that are scientists, which is a great fit for a sci-fi con. One of the best panels I ever attended at SDCC was one about going to Mars. It was packed, and people really responded to the guests, which were science and engineering types, and the heads of various aerospace subcontractors and the like.

  Now that privatized space travel has arrived I find it's a little disappointing. We're still trapped on the "cusp of space", so to speak. Only China is sending real missions to the Moon, and they are still robotic.
  
  The one premise that Stargate leveraged very well was that we were able to acquire alien technology to speed up our entry into spacefaring voyages. We've had no such opportunities in real life.
  
  It'd be interesting to see a panel of real scientists and science fiction writers go head to head about where the gaps are in our technology and how long they think it will take to fill those gaps.
  
  Even Dean Devlin's latest series, The Ark, has cheated the realism curve by introducing a faster-than-light drive. For a while it seemed we might have a show that dealt with sub-lightspeed space travel.

  In addition to the lack of giant leaps in technology, I think we're "held back" by the realities of how dangerous it is, and the safety redundancies and testing required. The events of the past week with this Titanic tourist sub are a good example of how quickly tragedy can unfold when people start cutting corners to speed things up.
