Will Space Travel Save Us All? | Idea Channel | PBS
Will Space travel change our perspective on the human condition? Space, also known as The Final Frontier, has been in our collective dreams and fantasies for decades. Who WOULDN’T want to blast into space, experience zero gravity, or walk on the moon?! But with limited funding to NASA, the day that had been promised to us for years (in addition to flying cars and hover boards), seems no closer now than it did 30 years ago. BUT WAIT! Could private research and funding be the future of galactic exploration? And maybe once we are all able to see the earth from a distance, we’ll all gain some much needed perspective. So keep on truckin’ Elon Musk, for humanity’s sake.

Help us raise money to travel to kitchens across America: www.indiegogo.com (and then maybe… THE WORLD!) ONE PART VLOG: Musings and karaoke from the RV as we roll all over this fine country. I’ll also shoot vlogs at the meetups I’ll be doing in each city. ONE PART TRAVEL SHOW: A crowd-sourced travel show, I will go to the places that YOU think I should check out in the cities YOU are from. Forsaking the glitz and glamor of America’s biggest metropolises (metropolii?), I am more interested in touring the states from the perspective of those these videos have touched (appropriately). You control the route in two ways: FIRST, we’re going to ask the zip code of each person who donates and base our route on cities with the highest concentration of Hartosexuals. SECOND, we’re going to give you printable real-world like buttons (HARTOS!) that you can stick on your favorite pizza joint, bar, dog park, or historical landmark. When we roll into town we’ll determine where to shoot the travel portion of the show by following your Hartos. ONE PART KITCHEN: I’ll be shooting an episode of My Drunk Kitchen in every city we go to. Which leads me to ask… Can I get drunk in your kitchen? Each person who donates gets their name thrown in the hat as a potential kitchen host. When we roll into town, we’ll pick a person at random, call that brave person, and have a respectful culinary experience together. Please help by donating! Thank you! www.indiegogo.com
