The StarTrails Game
Never say, simulator, again!
a contemporary space sciences adventure, PG-13 Sci4fi feature
Mr. Raymond Kenneth Petry, Strategic Director
a Wision--Sesquatercet USA production
"Before NASA sends men to another planet it will be simulated a thousand times."
(a division of Lanthus Corporation)
[science-hypercubed adventure] An 8th-grader who loves StarTrails,
comics-to-movies-to-forums, has won a Summer Fun Contest to ride with the regular
astronauts six weeks at NASA's Deep-Space Simulator Training Facility ....
But she's virtually over-qualified and gets the captain's chair, and it looks all
too real for a simulation: They launch a full-scale mission from Earth to
Neptune, routine until they learn the real purpose for the mission to rendezvous
with a newly-discovered near-Solar-system object and must cope with the consequences
of trying their best, among whatever planets, gravity singularities,
space clouds, are way out there at the edge of our solar system.
The concept is that StarTrails is both the reality of her favorite science-fiction story,
and, NASA's next big push for the edge.
(Her dad was her older brother in the third
of the Professors' Spring Break trilogy: See Mi-Kee's debut, Spring Fling act#6.)
The Game itself is a seven-player
simulator-trainor for tomorrows' deep-space astronauts to help NASA look ahead: In
the 1960's America went to the moon, and developed nuclear-powered space engines
with the thrust equivalent of the Space Shuttle's main-three running non-stop, for
going to Mars and beyond ... Now it's time to return to immanent domain, power, and glory.
The movie shall be available digitally recorded widescreen 2:1 stereo'eyes'ed 4Mpx
30 fps released on 3D-HD-DVD, HDDVideo, standard 35mm film (telecined celluloid),
home-theater HDTV/DVD/DTV, VCR etc. (Stereo'eyes'ed 3.5-D
is viewable with white sexichrome or polarized safety-goggles; The advantage of
digital is its reproducibility for the future of both broadcast and movie-house.)
The initial shoot shall be direct to gigabyte hard-drive; wavelet-compressed and
copy-saved to DVD+RAM;- the digitized sound and music edited in synchronized
frames-fractions of a second. Image generation shall be further enhanced and
assisted by state-of-the-art computer facility.
[Music specified in this screenplay is the Strategic Director's selection
from hundreds of CD's of existing works by artists whose timbre and lyrics
fit each onscreen activity, and is not otherwise representative of projects
Sesquatercet and its purposes or NEMO and its advanced sciences and theories]
Mr. Raymond Kenneth Petry, independent research scientist, is the author of
FUNDAMENTAL CONTROVERSES: Christian Science Class Instruction, taking-up the
Holy Biblical Scripture as a synopsis of mankind's Scientific purpose on Earth,
(web-published); and as well, Project NEMO advanced-topics science articles base
including his 1984 discovery of presolar remnant star core Pluton.
A 1973 UCSD graduate, BA, Mathematics Dept., Mr. Petry is a former crypto-Tempest
digital electronics engineer with former Linkabit Corp. of San Diego, CA, in digital
radio satellite communications systems for the former SAC Command Post. He has also
served as Board Of Regents Appointee Lecturer in mathematics at UH Manoa, HI; and
Vice President on his prior branch Church Executive Board, Eighth of San Diego;
and is Founder and current Trustee-Director of The Son Dey School of Christ Science,
the erstwhile project 'lambhorn'; And, since 2001, is President CEO of Lanthus
Corporation and Director of its Surrogate Executive Accessions Management, and its
new-market PubNatSec and pdqbanking divisions. Mr. Petry writes science docudrama,
science-hypercubed, science-scenario, feature screenplays, based on satellite
photography, Biblical astronomical fact, correlative scientific Scriptural exegesis,
and mathematical induction, in his repertoire at
Wision--Sesquatercet USA productions
(registrar; division of Lanthus Corp), where he is also Strategic Director and
Principal Screenwriter; He has several more works in research and development.
As profferred Adult.Basic.Educator to the Internet, Mr. Petry acts as liaison to
scientific organizations primarily in the cosmo-thematical studies, mankind's common
past and connected future, presenting science in an entertaining redacted format.
[Mr. Petry also maintains several websites and posts on usenet news-groups and forums
in the mathematics, sciences, technologies, digital electronics and computer engineering,

Abstract
START RAILS
Opening on the interior of a starship control room, the computer is 'dreaming' of
chasing a gaggle of young women in flowing robes along a forest cliff ledge, the
captain and crew frantic to determine that the navigation computer is merely bypassing
its logic-comprehension unit ... and Mi-Kee turns to the next page ... Mother calls her
down to lunch and mail and she learns she's been selected winner to spend summer,
training with NASA astronauts in a deep-space mission stimulator. At NASA she prep's
with the regular crew and -former- captain, who's now her second-in-command because
she's outscored him on written skills-tests, and ultimately she must prove herself
worthy.... Before launch an administrator explains to her the importance of including
children on space-studies missions; then they ride out to the simulator, and spend two
months underground. Once inside, Mi-Kee forgets the outside world: the spaceship is a
self-contained multi-level virtual reality vessel and there's nothing in this simulator
to suggest they aren't really launching into deep-space, from liftoff to the stars.
They fly their mission quickly passed the moon and several planets, dropping
science-probes along the way, to the far reach of the solar system, where they learn
the real purpose for this mission,- and Mi-Kee runs them too close to a gravity
singularity 'black-hole' which flings them off-course but into a tenuous giant
gas-planet where Mi-Kee rescues their heading and makes first-contact with aliens.
They return home to meet their debriefing schedule; and riding away from the
simulator-trainor silo, Mi-Kee notes that the ground around it has been
opened and reclosed ... was it really virtual?
