InfiniD Learning is Now Mission.io. The Christa McAuliffe Space Center's Planetarium Has New Colored Lasers. World War I is Going Well for Germany (for now). The Space Place Voyagers Make a Great Tech Crew. Imaginarium Theater

Image
       Last month I stopped by InfiniD Learning in Provo to do a recording.  I'm the voice of the computer in all InfiniD missions. While there I was told in the strictest confidence that InfiniD Learning would be changing its name to Mission.io.  Brooks Heder explained that while cool, InfiniD always had one problem - spelling.  People misspelled InfiniD when searching for the web site.  They knew the name had to change, but to what.  After considerable brainstorming, they came to the realization that the word "Mission" had everything they needed.       The word "Mission" was the word I used for adventures in the Starship Voyager back when I founded the Space Center. The name stuck and is used at every Space EdVenture Center and Dream Flight Adventures today as you can see in Dream Flight's web site menu bar.       "Missions" has always been the word InfiniD used as well for their adventures.  The...

A New Simualtor Mission in Honor of St. Patrick's Day. Landon Hemsley's "Things You Heard at the Space Center 20 Years Ago". The Imaginarium Theater

Image
Hello Troops,      Here is a nice St. Patrick Day mission for you.  I won't even charge for its use :)  We could title it "The Shamrock Attack".  It will be a hit. I feel it in my bones...... Mr. W.  The Shamrock Attack      In the vast expanse of the galaxy, nestled amidst swirling nebulae and twinkling stars, lay Starbase Williamson—a bustling hub of interstellar activity. Commanding officers monitored their consoles diligently, while engineers scurried about, tending to the maintenance of spacecraft and machinery. But little did they know, a peculiar threat lurked beyond the reaches of their scanners.        On March 17, 2324, as the starbase hummed with its usual rhythm, an alarm pierced the tranquility. Admiral Porter was jolted from a quiet moment of reflection in his command chair.  "What the," he shouted as he looked around the command deck for a reason why a peaceful dream was abruptly interrupted....

Wes to Leave on Mission to Texashire. The Villagers in the Pleasant Grove will Miss Him. And From the Brilliant Mind of Connor Larsen, More "Things You'll Never Hear at the Space Center." Also, Enjoy This Week's Imaginarium Theater

Image
         In the heart of the quiet pleasant grove, where the cobbled streets echoed with the laughter of market-goers and the clinking of armor from the castle, lived a young troubadour named Wes. With a microphone in hand and a voice that could charm the birds from the trees, he entertained both rich nobles and poor peasants alike with his enchanting tales of adventures far into the cosmic realm.       Wes's stories were like magic, transporting listeners to far-off lands and weaving dreams with the delicate threads of his words. Whether he performed on his Magellan stage for ladies and gentleman or by the fireside for humble farmers, his gift for storytelling made him a cherished figure in every corner of the realm.       Yet, despite the joy he brought to others, Wes felt a stirring deep within his soul. A calling that tugged at his heartstrings, urging him to set aside his life of quests and song fo...

Things You'll Never Hear Spoken at the Space Center in a Billion Million Years. A Blast from the Past. Also, This Week's Imaginarium Theater.

Image
  Hello Troops,      It has been a quiet week at the Space Centers so I thought I'd repost something I wrote in February 2009.  It is called "Things You'll Never Hear Spoken at the Space Center in a Million Billion Years."  I added comments (in purple) to add a bit of background to help you understand the sarcasm.         Let's make an updated version of this for 2024.  Take a minute and send me something for a current member of staff or a volunteer at any of the Space Centers.  I'll gather them up and make a new post for the staff and volunteers today.   Ad Astra! Mr. Williamson  The Staff Back in the Day at an Honor's Night Sorry for the blurry picture. Who do you remember? THINGS YOU’LL NEVER HEAR SPOKEN AT THE SPACE CENTER IN A MILLION BILLION YEARS. February 2009. Mark Daymont: "We're going to do a different mission today in the Magellan. No Death Trap today!" Mark loved that mission. It was his go to s...
