“The People of NewSpace” – transcribed for posterity with your help

Alvin Remmers has led the Moonandback Media effort to document this period of burgeoning private space development with video interviews of many of the leaders and participants in these endeavors. The project has built up a large collection of such interviews and now Alvin is

seeking funds to transcribe 102 hours of video content for donation to the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum. Our target funding will enable us to pay for the transcription and donation of the archive to the NASM and to continue our documentary project. The transcription is necessary to make the content useful for historians, journalists, academicians and researchers.

You can contribute to their crowd-funded campaign at The People of NewSpace (2010-2013) — a Moonandback documentary project | RocketHub.

Their collection of videos can be seen at Moonandback Media on Vimeo.

Alvin describes the Moonandback collection and the plan to create transcripts for them in this video:
