The Anderson Brothers. Alex and Brent Hello Troops,      A few video updates are on today's schedule, brought to you by the Anderson Brothers (Alex and Brent) and Renaissance Academy's new USS Voyager experiential simulator. Alex and Brent spend a few hours in the Voyager every Saturday working on the simulator's intelligence. All the ship's programming, from sound effects to video to lighting to music to just about everything is controlled by their FLINT operating program. It's too technical for me,  but just to be on the safe side, I am going to ask them to install a failsafe off switch somewhere in the control room just in case FLINT becomes SKYNET and the Voyager turns on us in a nasty and fatal way.      Brent and Alex are proud of their work; they should be. Their creations will affect the lives of thousands of children over the years.  Thank you Anderson brothers. You've done well. You've given the ship of dreams its spirit.  ...
