Nasa hopes novel mission will take science fiction to new frontiers
The new partnership is in line with the authors of torque and scientists to produce a series of novels based on science to inspire explorers and inventors of the future
Travel Timeand chain drives can, unfortunately, out of the picture in a new partnership between NASA and the Books Tor / Forge, who are the authors of the publisher of science fiction associated the space agency to launch a range of "scientifically accurate and entertaining" novels.
authors are paired with scientists and engineers at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, in a two-day workshop in November, where the unnamed writers still have access to NASA data, facilities and experts, and learn about space exploration. NASA and the publisher will then perform a series of novels based on the science - the "NASA inspired fiction" online -. Based on "concepts relevant to the missions of existing agencies and future operations"
- "The space shuttle program may be more, but the dream continues!" Tor said. "The concept is not only to create fiction novels of scientific precision and exciting science, but also to promote the interest of scientific knowledge in general." The couple hopes the collaboration will raise awareness of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and inspire more students to specialize in issues and the growing awareness of his own work NASA. Science fiction, they said, is credited as "major inspiration" for the career choices of many scientists.
"Ultimately this agreement will benefit the taxpayers as we seek innovative ways to train students for the challenges of the future of science," said Nona Cheeks, who heads the Goddard Innovative Partnerships.
