FIRST WORLD - FIRST WORLD Web Site Launched!
"I am pleased to announce the launch of First World's Web site: www.firstworldmovie.com
As you will see, the Web site provides a timeline of world events and Presidential directives that build up to the year 2018 on the eve of the new space race between China and the United States. In addition, the Web site includes the trailer, contact information, media coverage, screenings and artwork. The Web site also includes major historical events like President Kennedy's 1961 address to the United States Congress on Urgent National Needs. My thanks to First World director Adam Starr for building this site.
As I work toward the goal of producing the long version of First World, the support the film has received from the science fiction convention and media community has been excellent. My continued thanks to them and those of you that have supported this project. Have a great Holiday Season. Thanks ~ Mark"

Are We Alone? - New episode available: "Sputnik: 50 Years, 1 Month, 2 Weeks Later"
"It looked like no more than an oversized grapefruit with whiskers. So you wonder what all the fuss was about. But the small silver ball kicked into orbit by the Soviets in 1957 set off a decades-long space race between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. That race resulted in major accomplishments during the fifty years since Sputnik's spunky spin, including landing humans on the moon.
Meet the new space race(s). Private companies are gearing up to go where only governments have gone before, and the launch of a Chinese lunar probe signals a new turf war over Earth's natural satellite. We'll hear these stories, plus meet a "Sputnut" who owns two copies of the pioneering orb and is looking forward to a Sputnik-eye-view of Earth as a passenger on board the International Space Station next fall. Also, why the space elevator biz is looking up. "
