Description of Pictures: Panel: Science Fiction Legacies
We can only imagine that a child growing up in a science fiction family would be a . . . fascinating experience, to say the least. Four prospectives come from children of creators, storytellers, writers, and filmmakers: Rod Roddenberry, Adam Nimoy, Jamie Anderson, Mason Peck, and Dan Curry.

Moderators:
* Mason Peck, Cornell University -- Former NASA Chief Technologist and Associate Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University and the Director of Cornell’s Space Systems Design Studio. Mason is also a member of the Museum’s Board of Advisors and Technology Subcommittee.

Speakers:
* Adam Nimoy -- The son of Leonard Nimoy, who played Mr. Spock on Star Trek, will discuss his father’s legacy and his new documentary film, For the Love of Spock.
* Rod Roddenberry -- The son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, Rod will speak about his father’s legacy as the series celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, as well as his work as chairman of the Roddenberry Foundation.

Escape Velocity is a micro futuristic world’s fair to promote STEAM education within the context of science fiction using the fun of comic cons and fascination of science and engineering festivals. Escape Velocity seeks to make a measurable positive impact to boost informal learning on the more conceptually challenging academic areas.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

3. ESCA2A_160703_067.JPG: Jamie Anderson. His dad was Gerry Anderson Gerry Anderson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gerry Anderson, MBE (born Gerald Alexander Abrahams; 14 April 1929 – 26 December 2012) was an English television and film producer, director, writer and occasional voice artist. He was known for his futuristic television programmes, especially his 1960s productions filmed with "Supermarionation" (marionette puppets containing electric moving parts). Anderson's first television production was the 1957 Roberta Leigh children's series The Adventures of Twizzle. Supercar (1961–62) and Fireball XL5 (1962) followed later, both series breaking into the US television market in the early 1960s. In the mid-1960s Anderson produced his most successful series, Thunderbirds. Other television productions of the 1960s include Stingray and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Anderson also wrote and produced several feature films whose box office performance was unexceptional. Following a shift towards live action productions in the 1970s, he had a long and successful association with media impresario Lew Grade and Grade's company ITC, continuing until the second series of Space: 1999. After a career lull when a number of new series concepts failed to get off the ground, his career began a new phase in the early 1980s when audience nostalgia for his earlier Supermarionation series (prompted by Saturday morning re-runs in Britain and Australia) led to new Anderson productions being commissioned. Later projects include a 2005 CGI remake of Captain Scarlet entitled Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet.
4. ESCA2A_160703_083.JPG: Mason Peck From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mason Peck is an associate professor at Cornell University and former NASA Chief Technologist. His immediate predecessor in the NASA position was Bobby Braun. Peck has published in various aerospace sub-disciplines including; air-bearing spacecraft simulation, low-power space robotics, hopping rovers, and Lorentz-augmented orbits. Peck was awarded $75,000 in 2007 by NASA's Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) to study how a large fleet of microchip-size space probes in Earth orbit might propel themselves into the Interplanetary Transport Network; and thence as far as Jupiter's moon Europa. This was to be achieved by exploiting the Lorentz Force, enabled by using photovoltaics to maintain an electrostatic charge while orbiting in Earth's magnetic field. Peck has served on the advisory board of Mars One since February 2014.
5. ESCA2A_160703_113.JPG: Dan Curry From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dan Curry is a visual effects producer and supervisor, as well as a main title designer in the film and television industry. He is most famous for his work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager (for which he also designed the title sequence), and Enterprise. His work on these series has earned him seven Emmy awards. Starting on TNG, Curry used his experience as a martial artist to develop a fighting style for the fictional alien race known as the Klingons. He designed several Klingon hand-to-hand combat weapons, including the Sword of Kahless, the mek'leth, and - most notably - the bat'leth. Curry has also designed many memorable title sequences for feature films including Top Gun, Big Trouble in Little China, and �Three Amigos!. He also worked as visual effects supervisor on the television series Chuck. As of 2015, he is also a member of the board of directors for the Hollywood Sci-Fi Museum.
