One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc./The Space Show Current Funding Projects:

The follow special projects are in need of funding for the One Giant Leap Foundation (OGLF)/The Space Show for the year 2010. If you are interested in funding all or part of any of these projects, please contact me for more specific details. All costs listed are estimates subject to vendor pricing and negotiation.

1. Sponsorship opportunities: Opportunities to become a OGLF/Space Show sponsor are available. All sponsors are listed on the sponsor OGLF web page and depending on their level of sponsorship, can have their message on a particular program, a series of programs, or all programs. Sponsorships start at $5,000 per year.
   
   
2. The Space Show YouTube Program: The Space Show is developing a special YouTube program for Gen Y viewers about why space should be considered as a career. We have a partially completed set to use and access to major film studios for professionally shooting the programs. Each finished program would be about 7 minutes in length. The format makes use of a countdown, focusing on space development and issues germane to this age group coupled with career opportunities. We will use lots of multimedia and public domain material. The Space Show plans on one or two programs per month but intends to shoot 6 to 8 episodes at a time for economies of scale. The annual budget is estimated at $35,000.
   
   
3. Webcast symposium/panel on key space development issues and topics: This would be a two hour studio produced, live video and audio, HD quality program with a panel and live audience participation (via email, chat, and telephone) presenting a detailed discussion and analysis of a specific topic -- space tourism, space security, etc. Based on funding, this program could be implemented quarterly. The discussions will be archived in both video and audio formats. Estimated cost per program is $30,000.
   
   
4. The same as above, but audio only using conference telephone lines: The format would be similar to the webcast symposium, but by telephone only. Costs panel discussion program are estimated at $2500.
   
   
5. A New Space Show state of the art multi-media website: The Space Show website needs modernization as a full educational multi-media website. The new Space Show website would make use of educational outreach specialists as well as multi-media specialists, plus a hosting company capable of hosting this kind of site using large amounts of bandwidth for both the audio and video content. The new site would enhance getting educational media grants from National Science Foundation (NSF), with approved NSF partners. Modernizing the website is an essential part of the new programming as it will allow contests, an exchange of information and educational programs. Estimated cost for website design, implementation, and the first year of hosting are $20,000.
   
   
6. The Space Show Classroom™ project: This is an online and selected radio station space educational class taught by multi-discipline educational teams with performance outcomes. It is a classroom version of The Space Show. We would also develop workbook material. The use of experts and grad students from educational disciplines outside the space world would be essential. Outcomes would be designed to measure success of the program with those participating. I would model the sessions based on my years of graduate level teaching as an Adjunct Professor in the Space Studies Department at the University of North Dakota. The estimated annual budget for this program is $100,000.
   
   
7. KKNW 1150 AM Broadcast in Seattle: KKNW 1150 AM in Seattle has been broadcasting the first hour of The Space Show Monday program for several years. Annual costs for streaming, repeats, board operator fees, in addition to program production costs are estimated at $20,000.
   
   
8. Satellite Broadcast on Friday Space Show program: The Friday Space Show program is two hours in length. The recording is uploaded to the satellite for play by AM and FM stations who wish to use it throughout North America. Annual costs for this satellite service are estimated at $1,500.
