AS THE SPACE SHUTTLE NEARS RETIREMENT, MOST AMERICANS REMAIN UNAWARE OF THE SPACECRAFT THAT COULD REPLACE IT OR ITS PLANNED DESTINATIONS. THE GOAL OF THE FUTURE SPACE PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WITH REALISTIC IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES THAT WIN BE THE RESULT OF NASA'S NEW HUMAN SPACE PROGRAM. BECAUSE THIS PROGRAM IS STILL IN PLANNING, THE PROPOSAL ADDRESSES HOW ITS DELIVERABLES WILL CHANGE BASED ON THE OPTIONS PRESENTED BY THE U.S. HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT COMMITTEE, INCLUDING BOTH ROBOTIC AND COMMERCIAL ALTERNATIVES. THE PROPOSAL WILL CREATE TEN INFORMAL SCIENCE PRODUCTS DESIGNED FOR RAPID AND WIDESPREAD PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT. IN THREE YEARS THE FUTURE SPACE PROJECT WILL REACH A PROJECTED 500,000 AMERICANS DIRECTLY AND OVER TWO MILLION THROUGH DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS TO PLANETARIUMS, PORTABLE DOMES, MUSEUMS, CHALLENGER CENTERS AND THE WORLD WIDE WEB. AFTER THREE YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT, THE PROGRAMS WIN ALSO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT, FUNDED BY CONTINUING PARTICIPATION OF PUBLIC AND SCHOOL AUDIENCES. A COLLABORATION OF TWO MUSEUMS WITH PLANETARIUMS (LOUISIANA ART AND SCIENCE MUSEUM (LASM) AND HOUSTON MUSEUM OF NATURAL SCIENCE (HMNS), A UNIVERSITY WITH A SPACE SCIENCE FOCUS (RICE UNIVERSITY), AND FOUR PRODUCER-VENDORS PROVIDES BOTH THE PRODUCTION EXPERTISE AND THE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK TO CREATE PUBLIC AWARENESS, EXCITEMENT, AND SUPPORT FOR NASA'S FUTURE SPACE PROGRAM VERY QUICKLY AFTER IT IS ANNOUNCED AND AS THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM ENDS. THIS PROJECT IS AMBITIOUS AND WIDE-RANGING, WITH 10 INTERACTIVE PRODUCTS, BUT THE TEAM HAS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHING PROJECTS LIKE THESE BEING PROPOSED ON TIME AND ON BUDGET.
