Great Scott! It's Off To Spcaedock 19, Carl Sagan's Cosmos Reboot, and NASA For Kids

 
 Hi everyone. Glad most of us made it back from Alex Cavanaugh and JL Campbell's tour stops. We only lost nine people. That’s a whopping 97.2 percent success rate at bringing everyone back and in one piece and something to be proud of!
 
Great Scott! Today we fire up the flux capacitor with 1.21 gigawatts of power and head over to Mary Pax’s Spacedock 19 for what is one of my favorite topics: NASA for kids. C'mon, hop in. There's room for all of us!

What to Watch: Did you catch the reboot of the classic the Carl Sagan 'Cosmos' hosted by astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson on Fox last Sunday? Well, 8.5 million viewers over 10 channels did. Fox is projecting that more than 40 million viewers worldwide will have seen the debut of the new series by week's end.

The reboot is put together by Carl Sagan's wife Ann druyan and Seth McFarlane of Family Guy fame. "Television is the ideal place for a relaunch of the Sagan 'Cosmos' series," Fordham University professor Paul Levinson, author of the 'New New Media' says. "Because it's the biggest screen in the home and is easily seen by the family or friends at the same time.
 
 
Escalation: The Adventures of Chase Manhattan: Together, Breakthrough, Opening, and Escalation follow the lives of the unlikely participants from innocence to a coming of age through sacrifice, betrayal, passion, lust, unconditional love, and hope.
 
Escalation is an international thriller and will appeal to fans of modern-day science fiction, action, horror, and a bit of romance for the ladies. To download Escalation: The Adventures of Chase Manhattan CLICK HERE.

  1. I heard they were bringing Cosmos back, but didn't realize that meant...immediately! Wow. Will have to tune in next time. I remember watching it with my dad when I was elementary school age in the 70s. Didn't understand a thing, but was fascinated by it.
