CAUTION: Following is an invitation to help a dream be fulfilled (yeah, a plug for donations)
Two of my favorite people in the world are Jeanne and Spider Robinson, authors, dancer, artists and all-around delightful people. Together, they wrote the Hugo and Nebula award winning Stardance trilogy. Somehow, the two of them managed to actually convey zero-gravity dance in print in the Stardancer books. Until the Challenger disaster, Jeanne was on the short list for NASA's 'Civilian in Space' program.
With today's advances in CGI, it's now possible to do justice to a film of zero-gee dance. Jeanne has written the script and put together what sounds like a great production team. A private patron has provided seed money but the film is looking for the rest of the six figures needed to make this film a reality. All donors will be listed on a Roster of Honorary Stardancers, given screen credit and get the personal thanks of Jeanne and Spider.
You've seen how beautiful space can be in the backgrounds Babylon 5 used. Wouldn't it be cool to see the grace of dance not hindered by gravity? That's Jeanne's dream and you can help make it a reality.
Please check out The Stardance Project for more information, some lovely art and a button to donate to making this dream come true.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum....
