I am writing to let you all know that I am shelving the Southwest Missouri Planetarium project for now. I just don't know at this point where to go with it. And am very sorry for that. I think most of you have a seen that it is easy to do these kind of projects if you have plenty of money, or have a project of like kind already in the works. Also a "person" with a lot of gravitas can attract donors. But it is very, very hard otherwise. But enough of that, I started this project with the idea of enlightening our local children in STEM education, and there is a lot of lip service devoted to these disciplines. There are going to be tons of very well paying jobs in the next 20 years, as we move into space in different ways from the past. We will be mining asteroids for resources that will be needed by more and more people. And we are also talking about going to Mars. It truly is a brave new world, and I figure our children should take part. I hope you will keep these new vocations in mind as you parents mold the next generation.

Anyone that has an idea, or contact, that could benefit from the materials and resources we have accumulated just let me know. 

Remember 

Keep Looking Up
