The People Who Went to Another Galaxy
This story was written by my grandnephew when he was about 8 years old, in 1996. He is still writing as an amateur story teller but unpublished yet.
The People Who Went to Another Galaxy
The People Who Went to Another Galaxy
by a young astronaut named andrew asteroid
This story takes place five billion years in the future.
Earth has been struck by an asteroid about 2,000
years ago.
The story of andrew asteroid,
Propulsions Expert, is the innovation of
anti-gravity techniques which return this same
asteroid to outer space, carrying the last
survivors of the human race!
Before the asteroid struck the earth, it was business as usual, politically correct and socially segregated.
However, for the past 2,000 years, we have struggled intensely just to survive!
The truth is, there are only 42 people left and our sun is about to enter the white dwarf-red giant death cycle.
We have got to GET OUTTA HERE!!!
Not to worry, the three surviving scientists have discovered the anti-gravity belt engine.
The scientists include, me, andrew asteroid, my commander, anthony android, and the ancient hunter known only as Radoni.
We have hollowed out the asteroid and are about to just blast off, away from the earth and sun forever!
The earth has been gradually dying over these 2,000 years, and is about to crumble apart from the sun's heat and gravity.
When asteroid and the survivors pass Pluto, the sun gets hotter and swallows the planets.
Pluto melts into vapor forming their last vision of earth's vanishing solar system.
The asteroid accelerates beyond any measurable speed as the wave of energy from the sun propels the survivors fifty billion light years from their home.
Along the way they are swept along by super nova shock waves until they arrive at a new galaxy.
When they direct the asteroid to land on an M class planet, they crash land into a building!!!
Believing them to be enemies, the aliens aim their laser cannons at the asteroid.
The aliens are big-headed and have five human-like eyes.
However they are highly intelligent and actually knew of the earth and its culture for billions of years.
In fact they named their planet after a human author of scary books, named Stephen King!
Translated to their language, Stephen King was pronounced UnkUnkaFunka.
The temperature on their planet ranges from 110 degrees in summer, to minus fifty in winter.
The aliens however did not detect the asteroid before it crashed, so they are not aware that the visitors are human and peaceful.
In the heat of the battle after the asteroid crashes, a miracle happens!
Time-warping from the 24th century is Jean Luc Picard and the entire crew of the Enterprise!
Seeing that the humans have no weapons and are under fire, Captain Picard leads an away team with Riker, Worf, Data and Doctor Crusher.
The away team transports to the roof of the damaged building, where the alien king is directing the battle.
Unknown to the away team, the aliens believe that if a leader
is killed, the battle is won!
Recognizing Picard as the leader, the alien king immediately shoots at him and Picard falls from the roof dead!
However the aliens then
cease firing and expect the away team to surrender!
Needless to say, Riker returns fire and kills several aliens.
The aliens possess very unusual powers and clone the presence of Riker just as he attempts to beam all the humans to the Enterprise.
They put an electric field around the asteroid, trapping the humans inside.
Riker and the away team are killed.
The aliens start to attack the Enterprise, and
using Riker's cloned voice, set the auto-destruct on the Enterprise for fifteen minutes in order to see what the humans on the starship will do.
Geordie gives the order to abandon ship.
In full view of everyone, all the Enterprise pods launch, while the Enterprise explodes.
Fortunately, the real Enterprise is saved at the event horizon on the 24th century side of the time warp.
On this side, however, the aliens are too advanced and angry to let anyone escape, so they destroy all the escape pods.
They enslave the 42 humans on the asteroid simply because the humans are weak and different.
The humans are forced into hard labor without any rest.
The alien day has 54 hours, and the week has ten days.
Their sun revolves around their planet.
Three humans die from exhaustion.
Angered by these deaths, the remaining 39 humans escape.
They find their hidden asteroid and get off the planet.
They go to a different planet and when they get to this next planet, a festival is going on, called KetchaMatcha BingBong.
This means a celebration of our planet's life cycle, which just turned another age, five billion, 99 million years old.
Many years before the earth's 20th century, a planet Vulcan existed between the earth and the sun.
When Vulcan went into the sun, some parts of the planet flew out of our solar system as asteroids.
These asteroids flew together and formed the festival planet that andrew asteroid and the humans landed on.
The festival planet is called GeckoGeck which means earth's brother.
The astronauts left GeckoGeck with food to eat.
And then they travelled many galaxies, and landed on a planet that was named after the singer formerly known as Prince.
And guess who was there?
The Prince himself!
And the astronauts greeted him and said that they needed new clothes and a place to stay.
And Prince said first there was a feast of roasted clone meat going on.
It seems Prince Planet had no food, only a cloning machine.
So Prince, who was stranded there for millions of years, volunteered to clone himself to feed the starving people, so they named the planet for him.
The astronauts thought this was disgusting, so they got new clothes and left Planet Prince.
They left four people out of their crew on Planet Prince, who were obnoxious and wanted Planet Prince people to eat them for a change of diet.
Now there were only 35 people left on the asteroid.
However as the asteroid got into space, five of the crew threw themselves out into space to freeze to death to protest leaving the obnoxious people on Planet Prince.
Then while the crew was sleeping, andrew asteroid and anthony android had a serious meeting.
It was about the people who were killing themselves.
They decided to seal all the outer doors until they reached another planet.
Then one day the asteroid lost its gravitional pull and they had to fix it real quick or else they would be in a free fall.
Then a crew worker throws a screwdriver into the main shaft which is the power source for the warp engine, and it starts going at the speed of light.
Then all of a sudden andrew asteroid, the hero of all heroes, saves the day by turning off all the power and having all the engines run on slow.
Then just when they think they are going to die, they crash land into a planet.
This planet looked just like earth except it was 80 per cent water and 20 per cent land.
And they had good food to eat there, they had pizza, fries, chili cheese dogs et cetera.
And then the next day they were put to hard hard labor by the people on the Phoners' Planet.
The people on Phoners' Planet were on the phone all day.
The third day that they were there, the Phoners decided to eat 28 of the people, so andrew asteroid and anthony android slipped away.
Then they travelled great distances and looked at their distance odometer and found out that they were two billion one million 73 light years away from the earth's previous solar system, which was now rubble, space dust dude!.
Then one day anthony android on his 93rd birthday died and andrew asteroid ate him for dinner, and said good party dudes and dudettes and gender ambiguous creatures!
Now andrew asteroid who was only 22 years old conquered all of the known universe and remembered his family and solar system especially earth.
THE END DUDE!

my advice is never take my advice :)
Crowdfunding sites as we see them today started about 2005.
Of all the projects listed there, LESS than half get funded.
However, the possibilities of finding expert help are good.
With some expert help or just plain LUCK, maybe 40 percent
get crowdfunded currently. That is about 10 times more than
currently get traditional angel funding. What may happen in
the future depends on many variables. Maybe the most change
will happen in the creation of capital by some other method
than causing debts for people who are already debt burdened.
Many experts suggest using one crowdfunding for one project.
While I agree that the contributors could choose one source,
there are some crowdfunding sites which pay the project only
if all the money is raised, and some which pay all the money
to the project. My research on crowdfunding convinced me
that I need to experience different listing sites for myself.
Some of my listings will last as long as the listing site, or
I myself, exist :) There are so many details that can change,
depending on the listing site, such as how the donors can pay,
and even the method that funds are paid to the project itself.
Many listing sites charge a fee after the funds are raised or
before any funds are given to the project. These fees may be
charged to the project owner, out of the funds raised. Paying
fees may reduce the amount available for doing the project.
It may be wise to seek expert help before seeking expert help.
Legal or financial advisors might prevent losing time or money.
Given the odds, I DO NOT advise spending ANY money until you
do all the research yourself, my advice: NEVER take my advice :)

A journey of ten thousand miles begins with...
Use KickStarter money for your idea.
The information in this section is about a website where I am planning to list my movie idea. I am only a subscriber, and I get nothing for anyone else who subscribes, except the satisfaction of introducing the website. KickStarter is an amazing place where hundreds of subscribers follow their dreams and real ideas.
New York Times article on Kickstarter

A journey of ten thousand miles begins with...
If one could hover just above the earth's surface, at the
equator, unaffected by gravity, a journey of ten thousand
miles would take about ten hours, as the earth flew under
your feet at a thousand miles an hour, while a flight on a
commercial jet would take about 22 hours for the same trip!
An interesting factoid: The circumference of the earth is
a little under 25,000 miles, which is the same distance of
my fictional cyclotron in the story below. The Large Hadron
Collider, a real cyclotron, the largest ever built, is only
about 17 miles in circumference. LHC is located in Europe.
