NASA Colab Luna Philosophie Montly Meetings - open to the public

Dear Fellow Space Fans,

I am excited to inform you about a new initiative by NASA and the innovative technology-entrepreneurial community called Colab:

http://colab.arc.nasa.gov/

As part of Colab, they are running monthly meetings that are open to the public called Luna Philosophie:

http://colab.arc.nasa.gov/node/34

These meetings are held on the Full Moon of each month in San Francisco. Check the above websites for the physical location, as these may change from month to month.

It was an honor to be invited to give a work-in-progress presentation of my Arthur C. Clarke Maelstrom II independent HD digital short project.

What I found exciting about attending the 1st Luna Philosophie meeting was the opportunity to meet interesting people from all walks of life with a grass roots commitment to Space Exploration and Colonisation.

If you are in the Bay Area, please consider attending the next Luna Philosophie to see how you can participate.

If you are located on a different part of this planet, please consider joining Colab virtually:

Hope to see you at the next meeting!

Best wishes,

Jeroen Lapre'

Hi Ken,  much thanks. We will make these corrections when we use the real voice  actors. This kind of feedback is invaluable.  If you can think of any background chatter for the approach to the lunar  base, that would be wonderful. i.e. if you were listening in on 1/2 dozen routine base procedures.

Hi Jeroen,  Roger asked me to take a look at the clip you referenced in your email  below, and there were a couple of things in the dialogue that seemed a  little off.  Here are some suggestions for you to consider:  1.  Ground control indicates to Cliff that his capsule is "1000  kilometers too slow."  That should be "1000 kilometers per second too  slow." 2.  Ground control also indicates to Cliff, "... at the rate your  capsule is loosing altitude, you will orbit the moon once ..."  This  doesn't sound quite right, since at this point in time, the capsule is  gaining altitude.  Suggest you instead say, "... at the rate your  capsule is decelerating, you will ..."  Ken G.

Jeroen, Ken,

I agree with Ken's comments, but would still quibble about the last phrasing. I think it would be better to say something like, "according to our measurements of your trajectory, your capsule will...."

Re: animatics - launch control dialog feedback

Hi Ken,

much thanks. We will make these corrections when we use the real voice
actors.
This kind of feedback is invaluable.

If you can think of any background chatter for the approach to the lunar
base, that would be wonderful.
i.e. if you were listening in on 1/2 dozen routine base procedures.
And/or background chatter for the flight preparations of a freight capsule.
e.g. checking with L1 for the all clear, etc.

thanks again
