SPACE TRAVELSTelevision Special

Larry Rosswww.DoctorOfContent.com



Space tourists circling the planet in space planes, lunar buggy rides that theme

park visitors control from earth, solar sailing regattas to the moon. Space

exploration is no longer just for astronauts! A new breed of rocket scientists have

already drawn up the plans and begun building the hardware that will launch youand I into orbit and beyond by the beginning of the next decade.

SPACE TRAVELS will reveal the new technologies that will make it all possible.

And it will introduce the unconventional inventors, eccentric entrepreneurs, andimaginative scientists who are creating the opportunity for us to personally

experience the greatest frontier of them all. During this captivating hour of

science adventure we’ll find out why the three stage rocket will soon become

obsolete, discover what a chameleon and a spaceplane have in common, and

learn how to sail the inner planets on a ray of sunlight. Then, we will set oursights well into the future to unveil coming attractions for the next generation.

We’ll visit a lunar filling station where we’ll top off our tanks with Helium-3, learn

to build an inflatable, self-sustaining lunar habitat, and discover how our great-

great-grandchildren might survive a thousand year journey to the stars.

Our stories will be created by combining original location shoots with high quality

NASA/JPL footage, never before seen space industry video, astonishing 3-D

graphics, man & woman on the street interviews, and campy images from

space yesteryear.

At Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute we’ll meet the designers who are plotting

the first commercial lunar mission ever! Their plan is to place a lunar rover on theMoon by the year 2005. Incorporating the latest developments in telepresence

technology, telerobotic remote control and virtual reality, Carnegie Mellon’s

“Lunar Initiative” will enable theme park visitors to literally project their sensesbeyond earth by manipulating the rover’s cameras and steering the lunar buggy.

Speaking of robots, at NASA’s Robotic Center we will see a demonstration of a

public telerobotic ride on the space shuttle. And it’s scheduled to lift off in the

next year!

In a warehouse in Pasadena, an unconventional group of explorers known as the

World Space Foundation are building the prototype of a giant celestial kite whichthey intend to sail between planets. They’re not members of some cosmic lunatic

fringe, but students from Cal Tech and engineers from NASA with a vision for

the near future. SPACE TRAVELS will introduce Rob Stahelee, projectmanager of NASA/JPL’s Pluto mission and the organization’s president, who will

explain the science behind solar sailing on a ray of sunlight. Simple graphics will

help us to understand why they are theoretically capable of traveling at half the

speed of light. To test their feasibility, an international competition regatta... a



solar sail race to the moon is being organized by the U.S., European andJapanese Space Agencies. The prize? A Lunar Cup!



Yesterday’s three stage expendable rocket technology is waning fast. We’ll find

out why during our visit with the designers of a remarkable vehicle that could

bring us out into space by the end of the next decade. It looks like a plane, takes

off from an airport, and will be able to propel us directly into earth orbit. Bart

Barthelemi, Project Manager for the National Aero Space Plane, N.A.S.P., willshow us how five American aerospace corporations are planning our journey to

tomorrow with affordable space travel. Our audience will ride this space faring

flying machine on a maiden virtual flight into orbit and learn about NASP’s

incredible nervous system, temperature controlled skin, and ability to totally

change it’s propulsion system in mid-flight. Comparing these characteristics tothe human brain, a lizard’s epidermis, and a panther’s locomotion will help us to

better understand space plane science and why it is the key to tomorrow’s space

tourism industry.

On board a cruise liner, we’ll find out just how much the very rich would be willingto pay for the ultimate destination...space, and discover if there is a booming

market for space travel from our “Man and Woman On The Street”. Some, of

course, will tell us the whole idea is absurd, even preposterous. Then, we’ll

reveal one of NASA’s best kept secrets - space tourism isn’t something that’s

going to happen in the future... It already has happened! Prince Sultan Al-Saudi

of Saudi Arabia, paid NASA its $20 million ticket price to ride the Shuttle into

history and become the world’s first space tourist.

Before looking ahead to the future, we’ll take a look back at a space dreamer of

yesteryear, Robert Goddard, the father of modern rocketry. Using historic stills,

public domain stock footage, and campy newsclips, we’ll show how this spaceage pioneer, ridiculed as “The Moon Man”, recoiled from criticism and helped

invent our space future.

Someday, when our great grandchildren switch on an electric light, a solar

power collector station might respond... from the moon! An array of power cells

on the lunar surface will collect solar energy, convert it to microwaves and beam

it back to Earth. We’ll show you how it works.

Already on the drawing board is DOMUS 1, a lunar habitat that can be quickly

inflated on the moon. From this self-contained structure, researchers andscientists can keep an eye on the heavens with a giant lunar telescope. This

Mount Palamore of the moon will never suffer the earth indignities of overcastskies, atmospheric haze or nearby city lights. And the Japanese Space Agency

just announced their intention to design it! Also from DOMUS 1, researchers and

scientists will pursue a series of lunar energy projects including the mining of

Helium 3. In a far off tomorrow, mobile moon miners could extract this valuable

resource from the lunar soil. We’ll learn why it could be used to fuel rockets ontheir way to Mars or sent back to Earth for use in fusion reactors.



Living long-term in the lunar wilderness, how will DOMUS 1 inhabitants survive

the isolation of their barren new world? We’ll ask a psychotherapist who

counsels scientists stationed in the remotest reaches of the South Pole for an

inside look at how humans respond to extreme sensory deprivation and a

perilous environment.

Next on our voyage, a visit to Allcore Corporation , where human bodies are

frozen in the hope of reanimating them in the future. Why are we here, and what

does this have to do with space travel? If our distant descendants are ever tosurvive the thousand year journey to the stars, they might travel in a state of

suspended animation.

Our final stop on our journey to tomorrow is a world famous reproductive

institute. It is here that we will see how cow embryos, decades old, develop intofull grown calves. Why is this of interest to future space explorers? Because our

great, great grandchildren might travel the vast distances as test tube babies.

Once they arrive at their final destination, they will grow up... the first children of

the stars.
