A couple of years ago , I draw to attend to a really splendid author ’s shop : theLaunchpad Astronomy Workshop , held each year in Wyoming . One of its supporters has launched a crowdfunding drive to help fend for the program .
Doug Farren is an author and long - time meeter , and he ’s launched an IndieGoGo movement to keep the curriculum running . As a disavowal , I serve the computer program a duet of years ago .
Launchpad was ground by Mike Brotherton , a skill fable generator and astronomer , and is designed to give science fiction authors a leg up when it follow to understand the science that they ’re using . Too often , skill is misused in books , television and film , something that Neil deGrasse Tyson is tender of pointing out . The shop is an intensive , five day series of year that cross a considerable amount of information .
Farren ’s effort can be foundhere , and he ’s looking to raise $ 5000 , which will help countervail transportation , elbow room and board costs for the 2016 workshop .
