Take the PLANETXXI Challenge: Create the Eco City of the Future

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- As we zoom into the future in 2021, we see first-hand that the universe is filled with limitless opportunities. Space greats are busy with plans to build Mars City, creating orbital sci-fi habitats in space and adding finishing touches on luxury spaceships for galactic-go-getters. There's a real competition in the "race for space," and Sandra Snowden, aka Celestina, Ambassador PLANETXXI, has just entered the race with plans of her own to create The Eco City of the Future on PLANETXXI. And, now she's inviting a new generation of futurists and visionaries of all ages to compete.

Celestina's newly-launched website, http://www.planetxxitv.com/, encourages futurists to sign on as virtual cybernauts who can then travel into cyberspace to the planet's space station in CyberCity. Through virtual events, and cyber connections, they can design the blueprint and masterplan for their future on PLANETXXI.

Located in the Goldilocks Galaxy, PLANETXXI is an exoplanet in the Circumstellar Habitable Zone (CHZ). It's a planet of peace and positivity and a place where dreams for the future can come true. It's also Earth's mirror planet.

"Exoplanets are real," Celestina says. "NASA's first exoplanet was discovered in 1995 and a recent study at the Carl Sager Institute revealed that exoplanets have the best odds for extraterrestrial life to exist."

Celestina believes that this is the ideal time in history for people to ignite their cosmic powers and create the Eco City of the Future on PLANETXXI.

"Space is the new frontier and if we work together as space pioneers in the 21st century, nothing is impossible," she says.

So, while many on Earth are having to stay safe at home, futurists and visionaries can join forces and unleash their imagination and innovations through video and share them with the world to see.

For 20 years, humanity has found discovery and lived-in space at the International Space Station (ISS), so the sky has no limits.

"I also agree with scientists that Earth may even cease to exist by 2100 unless there are immediate changes to its unhealthy environment," Celestina adds.

The PLANETXXI website includes Celestina's Celestial Greeting and Welcome to the Future, Think Tank of Tomorrow, Vision Quest for Futurists and the Cyber Challenge: Create the Eco City of the Future on PLANETXXI. In addition, her upcoming YouTube PLANETXXI TV Show, Show Celestina Live From PLANETXXI, will feature weekly futurists and visionaries who will discuss how people can build a whole new, eco-friendly world.

Schools are also invited to join and be part of PLANETXXI Cyber Schools of the Future, and Club PLANETXXI. Cosmic Kids of the Future will introduce Cyber Pal cartoon characters to inspire kids, and even invite them to fly on Star Rider through the galaxy and reach for the stars. The website is in compliance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.)

"Time to fasten your seatbelts. We are ready to launch," Celestina says. "What role will you play in our future?"

Celestina is available for interviews from CyberCity, her orbital space station and communications center at Celestina@PLANETXXI.com or (312)953-3108.

Nashville-based Otherworld Encounter returns for an encore exhibit at the Nashville Fairgrounds

NASHVILLE, Tenn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Otherworld Encounter will bring their 10,000 square foot immersive art experience back to the Nashville Fairgrounds for a limited engagement July 5-21, 2019. A team of 13 Nashville-based artists designed, developed and operated the exhibit for its debut this past winter. The team recently concluded a four-week run of the experience in Atlanta.

Parent company Otherworld Entertainment LLC plans to use revenues earned from the three pop-up shows to establish a permanent location in Nashville. With this permanent location, Otherworld Encounter hopes to continue on their mission of providing sustainable income for artists through commissions, grants and job opportunities through growth and expansion of the experience.

By incorporating new installations and technologies, performance art, a music venue and arts education programs, Otherworld Encounter will ultimately have a major impact on Nashville's creative economy, as well as provide a new and exciting attraction for both local residents and visitors.

"Before Otherworld Encounter, Nashville has never seen an immersive art experience of this scale." says Jamie Whitlow, Co-founder and COO of Otherworld Encounter. "We have an exceptional Arts community here, and we want to enhance that with a unique kind of visual arts presentation, one that people of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy and interact with."

About Otherworld Encounter:

Designed to appeal to all ages, Otherworld Encounter is a science fiction themed immersive art experience featuring new creative technologies such as virtual reality, interactive projection mapping and other digital art forms. Most every art installation included in the exhibit is hands-on, with visitors creating their own experiences through the discovery of the interactive elements and a sci-fi storyline.

A futuristic tech company has created a new brain scanning device that amasses people's thoughts to form a dream sequence. Otherworld Encounter is the resulting fantasy world...but there are messages and clues that appear throughout the exhibit. What are the meanings of these clues? And who is Circuitman, the unpresumptuous guide who steers you to the answers?

Geminid Press Announces New Release by Acclaimed Author Daniel P. Douglas of the Science Fiction Adventure, ‘The Outworlds: War Torrent’

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June 23, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Geminid Press, LLC, an independent book publisher in Albuquerque, N.M., announces the release of "The Outworlds: War Torrent" (ISBN: 9780692450048 eISBN: 9780990737193), a new science fiction adventure by acclaimed author Daniel P. Douglas that is the first in a series. In "War Torrent," ancient reptilian aliens clash in a war that is the start of a new interstellar crusade orchestrated by evil ethereal entities whose intent is radical genetic purification of the galaxy, and Earth's Stone Age humans are their next target.

"War Torrent" is a novella, and the first book in "The Outworlds," a series of science fiction adventures set in the early twenty-fourth century at the fringe of human civilization. Although "War Torrent" steps outside that timeline, its prequel events, characters, and technology will have a major influence on the continuing storyline in "The Outworlds."

The science fiction book draws on the mystery of ancient aliens, in particular, reptilian humanoids, and related conspiracy theories about their alleged, past involvement with humans and possible engineering of our genes. It's also a military science fiction story with metaphysical and spiritual components. At times an outer space aliens conspiracy thriller, the bottom line is that "War Torrent" is a good versus evil story featuring unlikely heroes on a collision course with destiny.

Named a Foreword Reviews' 2014 IndieFab Book-of-the-Year Awards Science Fiction Finalist, Daniel P. Douglas is also listed by BestThrillers.com as one of 2015's Best New Mystery and Thriller Genre Writers. Douglas garnered these accolades in conjunction with his debut novel, "Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project." In it, readers plunge into a storyline featuring former FBI agent William Harrison, who finds himself hot on the trail of a major extraterrestrial cover-up.

Geminid Press Announces Screenplay in Development for Acclaimed Science Fiction Conspiracy Thriller ‘Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project’

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Geminid Press, LLC, an independent book publisher in Albuquerque, N.M., today announced it has partnered with writer-director Jack Snyder to develop a screenplay for the acclaimed science fiction conspiracy thriller "Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project." In the suspenseful novel authored by Daniel P. Douglas, readers plunge into a sci-fi storyline featuring former FBI agent William Harrison - a reluctant yet admirable hero - who finds himself hot on the trail of a major extraterrestrial cover-up.

Douglas's debut science fiction novel has received its share of critical acclaim. Foreword Reviews recently recognized "Truth Insurrected" as a science fiction finalist in its 17th annual INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards. Winners will be announced in June 2015. Kirkus Reviews described "Truth Insurrected" as "A multigenre espionage tale that's unquestionably entertaining."

The Columbia Review of Books & Film highly recommended "Truth Insurrected" and described it as "An excellent science-fiction/conspiracy thriller." Best Thrillers described the novel as "An engrossing, deftly-crafted UFO conspiracy thriller that is easily one of the most successful tales to emerge out of Roswell alien lore."

"We are very pleased to partner with Jack Snyder, an award-winning filmmaker who has written, directed, and produced both features and short films," Geminid Press co-founder, Paul Garver, said. "Jack's a very talented professional, and given the popularity of the novel's subject matter, as can be seen in such examples as the pending return of the 'X-Files' and a sequel for 'Independence Day,' we're very excited about what the future may hold for a 'Truth Insurrected' screenplay."

The estimated timeframe for completion of the "Truth Insurrected" screenplay is June, 2015. Geminid Press published the science fiction thriller in October, 2014, and it is currently available in Kindle eBook, paperback, and audiobook editions.
