Hey Chasers! I found this amazing project today and just had to share it. The Milky Way Project is a citizen participation initiative that allows you to identify bubbles in stellar gas created by massive stars through images from the Spitzer Space Telescope Images are provided to you to mark what you believe to be these stellar bubbles that are …
The Faces of Chasing Atlantis
Fellow Chasers, Here is a first look at “Chasing Atlantis.” I hope that you enjoy this teaser. It won’t be the last! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. – Paul
Preparing for Our Own Liftoff
Hey Chasers, It’s been two months now since our return journey to the Kennedy Space Center. Yesterday Paul and I, over Skype across the country, looked at the first rough cut that he had put together for our first trailer called the “Faces of Chasing Atlantis” that highlights some of the key interviews during our first journey in July and …
Curiosity Prepares for Journey to Mars
Largest vehicle we are planning on sending to the Red Planet yet. Curiosity’s revolutionary landing system may be the step we need to one day have somebody from our own Blue Planet settle on Mars. Rather than the rover being couched in an airbag deployed shell which looses energy gradually by bouncing across the Martian surface on landing, curiosity will …
The Soul in the Machine
It’s been one day since I’ve returned from Titusville on the Chasing encore journey. I still find it hard to trace the path from our adventure’s first inception to standing before the Shuttle Endeavour this past Monday in NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building. Chasing began when I first saw Endeavour touching down; its final landing and second last shuttle mission. The …
Beginning of Return Journey to Kennedy Space Center

Meeting back up with Paul in Orlando where we will be making our way back to NASA. Very stoked to get into the Vehicle Assembly Building to see an orbiter up close. We will keep you updated along …

I thought people might be interested in following our journey online. @chasingatlantis adorned on our Chevy Malibu, we rolled into the Kennedy Space Center, Paul brandishing the …

Happy Star Trek Day
Hey Chasers! Sorry that we’ve been off the air for so long. Paul and I returned safely from Sierra Leone where we collected nearly a TB of footage of Esther and her school for Esther’s Echo (www.esthersecho.org) and I have also just finished a move out West to one of Canada’s prime sci-fi film locations, Vancouver! Anyhow, we will be …
Headed to Africa
Hey Chasers, Paul and I are off to Africa working on another project for Esther’s Echo (www.esthersecho.org). Development is my field of study and I’m really excited about the opportunity get abroad and start the first community project for our organization. It’s been a few years in the making! Below is the IndieGoGo project profile for the trip if you’d …
