Boost Your Sci-Fi Writing with Atomic Rockets, Forensics Demystified & More!"

Dare I suggest another sticky? (Apparently so.)

• Atomic Rockets
• Forensics Demystified
• Commonly referred-to scales:
  • http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness
  • Kardashev Scale of Technological Advancement @ Wikipedia

Unsure about whether or not to include more general links, like Wikipedia - I'm leaning towards "not", because those tend to do more harm in cluttering up such a listing than they help those unfortunate few who aren't already aware of them.
