The company is a public benefit corporation founded in 2017 by a former senior Intelligence Officer with the CIA, a distinguished research scientist from the Department of Defense, and an award-winning artist with the goal of creating a dynamic Aerospace, Science and Entertainment consortium. We strive to be a positive vehicle for change by supporting progressive thought through academic research, exotic engineering, and entertainment media. In the course of the companys organization it acquired To The Stars, Inc. (TTS), an existing business that now comprises the companys Entertainment Division.
In what we believe is the first transparent partnership of its kind, the company will collaborate with global citizens to investigate under-funded areas of research that could lead to awe-inspiring discoveries and innovations. We believe transformative research of the type we propose should not be considered too taboo for serious academic research and we advocate that the search and investigation of new discoveries should be made broadly available to the public using the lens of entertainment media. Our goal is to inspire the imagination in the scientific mysteries of the universe and their profound implications on human potential and the future of our planet.
In designing a plan to approach this ambitious undertaking, we solicited the help of the best minds in aerospace, science, and entertainment to identify projects that will be most likely to yield results. While the exact project(s) and order in which we pursue them will depend on the amount of capital we raise, we believe the investment we make will yield results to the store of human knowledge, create useful and profitable commercial products, and provide unique entertainment experiences.
The company is composed of Aerospace, Science, and Entertainment Divisions. We intend to provide support to exceptionally gifted and creative aerospace and scientific researchers with the expectation that they can, on an accelerated timeline, leapfrog over the usual incremental steps to yield new concepts and technologies of significance. The entertainment properties we create will support our findings and creatively and responsibly present new ideas and possibilities.
The companys Aerospace Division is dedicated to finding revolutionary breakthroughs in propulsion, energy, and communication. We intend to employ lead engineers from major Department of Defense and aerospace companies with the capability to pursue an advanced engineering approach to fundamental aerospace topics ranging from Beamed-Energy Propulsion to warp drive metrics. Our team will seek to develop next-generation energy and propulsion concepts for spaceflight, as well as new technologies for space communications.
The companys Science Division will be a theoretical and experimental laboratory, challenging conventional thinking by discovering a new world of physics and consciousness-related possibilities and exploring how to use them to affect the world positively. TTS AAS has access to a global team of research scientists with advanced knowledge to pursue the companys research projects, including Human Ultra-Experience Database, Engineering Space-Time Metrics, Brain-Computer Interface, and Telepathy.
The Entertainment Division is composed of the companys wholly-owned subsidiary TTS, a vertically integrated business that licenses and creates original intellectual property brought to life by award-winning content creators. Spanning film, television, books, music, art, and merchandise, fans from all generations and interest levels find themselves engaged and immersed in exciting media that creates a sense of intrigue and wonder. Our storytelling experiences will be where science meets science fiction.
Examples of our approach to a vertically integrated aerospace, science and entertainment consortium are our current award-winning and bestselling franchises Sekret Machines and Poet Anderson. Sekret Machines is a bestselling TTS franchise that explores the real and well-documented events behind Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. With input from top government officials and scientists, Sekret Machines is an example of how real research can generate media content: a fictional Sci-Fi thriller novel, an academically researched non-fiction series, and the upcoming documentary with exclusive interviews from military and civilian government officials.
Poet Anderson, winner of IPBAs Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Teen Fiction and Best Animation at the Toronto International Shorts Festival, is an exciting dystopian Young Adult franchise based on a Stanford University study on how dreams can prepare you for real life events. If we are successful in our raise, future plans include expanding the Poet Anderson franchise into virtual reality and a documentary exploring the real- life science behind the story.
TTS AAS aims to push the boundaries of what standard academia, corporate and government labs typically support, but we dont believe discovery that impacts humankind should be a solo venture. TTS AAS will provide positive support for government, aerospace industry and academia in the accomplishment of our goals. Wherever possible, we will translate what we know into an entertainment medium that we can responsibly share not only with our customers, but our community. Thats why we decided to be a public benefit corporation.
