2 - Everyone's Space Featuring Scott Bakula Grade Levels 6-12 Running Time: 17:00 minutes
Teachers Guide Included on DVD Host Scott Bakula (of Star Trek and Quantum Leap) shows how competition drives innovation—even in space exploration.
In the 1960s, the intense rivalry between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. fueled the Space Race, culminating in Neil Armstrong’s “giant leap” in 1969. The near future seemed to hold great promise for commercial space flight and space tourism. But in the intervening years, NASA’s accomplishments have been underwhelming.
Now, the most exciting innovations are found in the private sector, where the Ansari X-Prize contest inspired enterprising teams to race toward the goal of developing a cost-efficient, reusable space craft.
The X-Prize was modeled after a similar prize that helped launch the commercial aviation industry—a $25,000 prize won by American Charles Lindbergh with his famous 33-hour solo flight from New York to Paris in 1927.
Today, the budding private space tourism industry is attracting entrepreneurs, investors, and would-be adventurers who hope to be among the first private space travelers. Thanks to the power of competition, the dream of safe, affordable space flight may be realized in the not-too-distant future.

VPW is an international service company specializing in placing sponsored educational materials in our nation's classrooms.
VPW offers educational materials FREE to qualified teachers, librarians, media specialists, and youth leaders throughout the United States, courtesy of some of America's leading companies and organizations.
Corporations, trade associations, and information agencies have been providing free educational films, brochures, books, and pamphlets for use in the classroom since just after the turn of the last century.
Now, as we enter a new century, videos have replaced film, and sponsors are adding DVD, CD-ROM, laser and computer disks to their offerings. But the intent is still the same -- to supply valuable and effective teaching tools that help teachers enrich the learning experience for their students. There is no charge to teachers, or any obligation. Pamela Clark has been a member of the VPW since August of 2004.
