Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Science fiction visionaries join forces to bring us the future of the past
Bucking the major Hollywood studios, famed television and movie magic makers Marc Scott Zicree, Doug Drexler, and Neil Johnson have united to bring us a new science fiction series called Space Command. It’s not unusual for big names such as these to join up for a tour-de-force of a movie or series, but what has been deemed a unique move is the trio deciding to gather funding for their ambitious project from the every day citizenry through donations.
The project is still under wraps to some degree, as the major details along with a demo video of the movie will be released May 16th. The group seeks to bring us a 1950′s retro styled science fiction action series, without the fear and issues associated with big budget studios trying to control the movie making process. The independent production will get funding via the Kickstarter.com program, and even give the major contributors screen credits and possibly even a guest spot on camera.
Many Star Trek fans know the name Doug Drexler, from his makeup effects work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, all the way to his visual effects work and designing of the Enterprise NX-01. His heart belongs to the future, and his passion has brought us some of the most memorable moments in recent sci-fi history to life, including his breathtaking work on Battlestar Galactica.

Brony Musicians Join Forces to Raise Funds For Ugandan Medical Services
Story updated May 12, 2012 – Official Music Video Released for Project.
Over 150 professional and amateur musicians alike from around the world who are fans of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic television show, have united to help raise funds to build a medical clinic in Uganda. Using their talents and creating music inspired by the wildly popular children’s show, the musicians are putting together an album named Seeds of Kindness which is being sold to raise the much needed money. Their rallying point is a character called Pinkie Pie, who in the show is an eternal optimist and always working tirelessly to bring smiles and friendship to all she meets. The song Smile (Come on Everypony Smile, Smile, Smile) sung by the character, is being recreated by the fans and sung in a We are the world style arrangement, made famous by the late Michael Jackson who along with other world famous musical talents, put together an album in 1985 to raise funds to benefit charities in Africa.
The Smile Song as it’s commonly known, was created by composer Daniel Ingram who was recently nominated for two Emmys for his work on the My Little Pony show, which has embraced Broadway style musical segments in many of its episodes. Seeds of Kindness features 41 tracks created by fans and is on sale now, with all proceeds going to the charity. To-date the impressive fan collaboration has raised well over $5,000 USD and is climbing as they seek to aid Mawanda John Bosco, the founder of Childneed Africa who is working to establish a self-sustaining medical clinic with a full time doctor and other aide workers who will be able to drive to more remote areas of Uganda to provide medical care.
The Hope and Goodwill Superheroes Bring Helps Unite Cultures in Real World
Silver Scorpion
NEW YORK – (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX Press Release) — The Open Hands Initiative, in partnership with Liquid Comics and MTV Voices, announced today the newest rendition of the Silver Scorpion comic book character – an animated web series featuring the world’s first disabled cross-cultural superhero. Silver Scorpion is the brainchild of a group of American and Syrian youths with disabilities who gathered in Damascus a little more than a year ago. The hero they envisioned, an Arab teen that loses his legs in a tragic accident, has the power to not only bend metal with his mind but — the creators hope — to transform his world… and ours.
Created by 26 talented youths with disabilities who convened for a Youth Ability Summit in Syria, the Silver Scorpion will come to life on the web in an animated 4-part series on the MTV Voices global websites, bringing this unique story of courage and perseverance to young people all across Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia. The series is intended to build bridges among the youths of the world while promoting inclusion and equality for people living with disabilities.
A long time a go in a galaxy far, far, away, we ran a poll to see what our listeners and fans wanted to be called. Doctor Who fans are called Whovians, Star Trek fans are called Trekkers or Trekkies, and we wanted to get a name that we could call our fans! We ran a poll on our Facebook page and we were supposed to have chosen a winner by April 13, we ran a little over that by mistake due to life in general and our intern forgot to poke us with a stick (that’s right, blame the intern).
We had a long list of names that were initially submitted to us by fans and staff members, after a weeks worth of votes and emailed feedback, we whittled it down to about five choices. Those choices were put on our Facebook page for voting, and the slightly forgotten (we still blame the intern) votes were tallied. The winning name to call our fans is: KRYPTICS
A Zombie Invested 5K Obstacle Course Race – And No You Can’t Shoot Them
Krypton Radio Newsire
Popular race to invade 12 cities throughout the United States in 2012
BALTIMORE, MD (Jan. 25, 2012) /PRNewswire/ — Reed Street Productions, creators of the zombie-infested 5K adventure race, Run for Your Lives, announced today that the race will expand beyond its inaugural location outside of Baltimore into 12 cities across the country, starting with the Atlanta area on March 3, 2012. The inaugural race launched in Darlington, Md., last October with more than 10,000 participants and spectators.
“Even before we officially launched the first race in Darlington, we started planning to invade other popular cities. We’d received so much demand and interest from consumers in the U.S. and abroad that we knew we needed to expand,” commented Ryan Hogan, managing member of Reed Street Productions and co-creator of Run For Your Lives. “We learned a lot from our first race and are excited to bring the improved Run For Your Lives experience to zombie-enthusiasts and runners. The zombies are coming to a city near you; get ready to Run For Your Lives!”
Yes, we noticed Picard's rank is on the wrong side.
Ok, we admit it. We yank fans of Star Trek are a bit jealous. Maybe a little more than jealous, would you believe we’re setting our phasers higher than stun? Coming this October to London on the 19th to the 21st, the Captains of the legendary Five Star Trek series will be on stage to wow the fans in a first ever meet-up. As part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation, William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Avery Brookes, Kate Mulgrew, and Scott Bakula will be coming to London’s Excel Exhibition Centre.
The event is being billed as “taking the best elements of a convention and signing event to create a bit of something in-between.”
This isn’t a standard Star Trek Convention, but fans are allowed to dress up if they want. The organizers ask that fans use common sense on any toy weapons they bring, or to be safe to refer to the weapons policy. Other guest stars are expected to attend, but have not been publicly confirmed yet. Tickets go on sale April 30 and prices range from £29.00 to £2,999.00 and come with varying benefits; exact details are subject to change without notice.
Stay tuned to Krypton Radio as we’ll update with details as they’re released – Check out http://www.startreklondon.com for ticket information.

The Everyday Heroes of A City Pull Together To Help A Superhero
By Staff Editor, PK
Courtesy: City of Arlington
The greatest battle that any man will face, is his own mortality. For a 7-Year old Arlington-Texas boy named Kye who is suffering from leukemia, that must be the greatest battle he could possibly imagine facing. But thanks to some wonderful volunteer efforts and the a Wish with Wings organization; Kye was able to live out a dream of his, and for one day in his young life, he became the legendary Dark Knight and helped fight evil in the city of Gotham Arlington, Texas.
Members of the Arlington Police and Fire Departments, along with the Mayor’s Office and several others setup an elaborate day of crime fighting events for Kye. Starring as a Little Batman, he joined forces with the caped crusader himself and helped defeat volunteers dressed as the Joker and the Riddler who were engaged in nefarious plots. With Batman and the Police, Kye stopped the Joker who tried to rob a bank, and with the Fire Department he outsmarted the infamous Riddler who tried to blow up city hall.
After a day of intense crime fighting, a catered chicken lunch and some quality time with Arlington’s men and women in uniform; Kye met with the Commissioner Assistant Chief of Police who presented him with the Key to the City.
