Reader note: I have been reading through your blog, and I love your commitment to science. Perhaps you and your readers might be interested in a new interactive science documentary project – BLAST (http://blast.artistshare.com) – a film that follows a group of intrepid astrophysicists as they travel to exotic locations all in the name of science.

Our web-based community project on ArtistShare.com lets students, professors and science enthusiasts learn more about telescopes, cosmology, and astronomy from an intimate and interactive perspective – all while actively participating in the creation of a great science documentary.

With extraordinary access to a new generation of young astrophysicists, BLAST puts a human face on groundbreaking scientific research. The story follows a close-knit team of international scientists as they attempt to launch a multi-million dollar telescope on a NASA high-altitude balloon, taking them on a dramatic journey from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Please feel free to watch the trailer for the film on our official site at: http://www.blastthemovie.com/trailer.html
