**Director of The Enterprise Project, Ernesto M. Luton, Sr, to Beam Aboard Good News to Discuss the Vision for a Full-Scale USS Enterprise Replica and Total Immersion Experience**

Philadelphia, PA — Ernesto M. Luton, Sr., Director of The Enterprise Project, is scheduled to appear on the popular YouTube talk show, Good News, to discuss the ambitious plan to construct the world’s first full-scale, fully immersive replica of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek. The episode, will explore the project’s mission to transform Gene Roddenberry’s vision into a living reality.

The Enterprise Project is a colossal undertaking aimed at creating “The Galaxy’s Largest Immersive Experience.” This includes the construction of the massive starship replica, a Starfleet Visitor Center, and the “First Federation Town”—a planned green, high-tech community inspired by the principles of 23rd-century Star Trek. The core philosophy of the project is Total Immersion, designed to make visitors truly feel they have stepped into the future and onto a working starship.

As Director, Ernesto has been a driving force in advancing the project’s primary mission: building a global community of one million members to launch the design and construction phases. This endeavor goes beyond entertainment; it is positioned as a monument to human ingenuity, a catalyst for space and environment education, and an engine for creating a sustainable, modern community.

“This is more than just building a replica; it’s about building the future we want to live in,” said Ernesto. “Appearing on Good News gives us a unique opportunity to engage with fans and forward-thinkers alike about how we can collectively make this incredible, inspiring vision a reality. We are dedicated to creating a place where Gene Roddenberry’s dream of unity and exploration is palpable.”

About The Enterprise Project The Enterprise Project is a visionary initiative committed to constructing a full-scale, ground-based replica of the USS Enterprise, complete with a massive immersive experience, a Starfleet Visitor Center, and an accompanying sustainable community known as the First Federation Town. The project aims to be a global hub for science, sustainability, and the optimistic future envisioned by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. The project headquarters is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Planting Peace in Times Square Virtually Throughout the World to Celebrate the International Day of Peace

Austin Tang — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:57:22 +0000

New York, NY, September 18, 2025 – Saturday, September 20, 2025, Times Square will transform into a hub for global peace when Pause the World for Peace and May Peace Prevail On Earth International (MPPOE) unite forces to honor the International Day of Peace. The event, held from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM, invites people in Times Square and around the world to participate in a day of unity, compassion, and collective visioning for a peaceful world.

In partnership with Good News Corporation and founder Paul Sladkus, participants will be invited to “plant” a virtual Peace Pole on the world map at www.plantpeace.worldpeace.org/, sharing their personal message for peace.

The day will also feature a powerful World Peace Flag Ceremony, led by MPPOE at 4pm Easten, honoring the 193 nations of the United Nations while uplifting the universal message: May Peace Prevail On Earth.

“Peace and Mother Earth Lovers, there are billions of you—let’s celebrate,” said Paul Sladkus, Founder of Good News Corporation. “Plant a Peace Pole—virtually or physically. Imagine 8 billion Peace Poles around the world! Together, let’s make this vision of global peace visible and real.”

Since 2002, Sladkus and Good News Corporation have supported the International Day of Peace, hosting Peace Vigils in New York’s Central Park and producing media to uplift the voices of peace. Today, their efforts connect with MPPOE’s decades-long mission of spreading peace through Peace Poles, an initiative launched in Japan by Masahisa Goi after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who envisioned Peace Poles planted in every corner of the world. To date, more than 200,000 Peace Poles have been planted across the globe.

“By inviting people to plant Peace Poles—whether in their communities or virtually—we’re giving the world something tangible to focus collective intention and energy on peace,” said Fumi Johns Stewart, Executive Director of MPPOE. “When people plant Peace Poles inscribed with the message, May Peace Prevail On Earth, we raise the consciousness of our global family to think and act in the Spirit of Peace.”

The event in Times Square is a call for peace, unity, and action. A Global Silent Minute for Peace will be observed at 12 Noon. This initiative reminds us that peace is possible—when we choose it together.

Half a Million Dollars for 10 Planet-Saving Ideas

Our planet urgently needs to mitigate climate change by 2030 to avoid irreversible negative impacts. Global native forest restoration could deliver up to one-third of the natural carbon capture we need. And Terraformation is a Hawaii-based organization that is building a pipeline of future reforestation projects across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia to help answer this clarion call.

https://tinyurl.com/Keeling-Curve-Prize

Terraformation is just one of 10 organizations recognized by the Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP) as winners of the 2025 Keeling Curve Prize (KCP). The Keeling Curve Prize — overseen by GWMP, a Brooklyn Story Lab partner — supports organizations developing practical, scalable answers to the climate crisis.

This year, the 10 winning organizations were announced by Jacquelyn Francis, Founder and Executive Director of GWMP, at the TED Countdown Summit main stage in Nairobi, Kenya, awarding $50,000 to each project to help expand their impact in the fight against climate change.

Learn more about the 10 winning organizations — and GWMP — here.

Bringing Order to the ‘Wild West’ Ocean

Travel 200 miles from any country’s shoreline and you enter the “High Seas,” the UN’s designation for international waters. The High Seas might as well be the Wild West, as there are few laws that govern this territory, which covers 43% of Earth’s surface (the ocean itself covers 71%).

That chaotic lack of law jeopardizes the future health of the ocean, including the Blue Economy: the food that 3 billion people globally count on, and the economic opportunities on which 11% of the planet depends.

The third UN Ocean Conference — which convened last month in Nice, France — addressed the issues top of mind related to governing and protecting the ocean. And Brooklyn Story Lab was there, with its partner Blue Planet Alliance.

Among other events, we helped produce “Together, We Rise,” with UN DESA (the Department of Economic and Social Affairs), an evening recognizing the leadership of two ocean champions: Surangel Whipps, Jr., the President of the Republic of Palau, and Peter Thomson, the UN S-G’s Special Envoy for the Ocean.

Read more here about our experience in Nice, and how Blue Planet Alliance was a ubiquitous presence in France.

Elephant Mothers

Elephants are a matriarchal species.

This year, World Elephant Day (August 12) is honoring both the matriarch elephants AND the women conservation leaders and rangers in communities in Africa and Asia who are working to protect them.

Check out this video with more info about #WorldElephantDay — narrated by Daryl Hannah and with music courtesy of Peter Gabriel.

The mission of World Elephant Day (BSL founder Lance Gould is on the Board of this nonprofit) is to bring awareness to the continuing plight of endangered African and Asian elephants. Elephants are climate change mitigators, and a keystone species that help ecosystems thrive. Protecting them is protecting the planet.

EXCLUSIVE OFFER FOR BROOKLYN STORY LAB READERS

Expert Fundraising Offer for BSL Readers

Fundraising is expensive. Yes, it takes money to make money, and hiring a consultant can be hugely impactful, but doing so can also be costly.

For startups or small nonprofits already reeling from the shock and awe of recent political events, that can create a barrier to entry that has existential implications.

Our strategic partners at boutique fundraising firm Hudson Ferris have come up with a dynamic solution: a new platform called Margaret, which democratizes the fundraising experience at an affordable price point (hundreds a month as opposed to thousands). Membership offers unlimited fundraising questions from experts in the field via the platform.

Margaret already includes partners such as Civic Hall (which has 62,000 members), fundraising CMS platform Arreva, and donor-research tool DonorAtlas, the latter two of which have integrated Margaret into their platforms.

To learn more about Margaret — and a special introductory package for the Brooklyn Story Lab community — visit here.

Iran’s Nuclear Enrichment

Austin Tang — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 17:57:40 +0000

By Gordon Edwards, Ph.D., President, Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility; Board of Directors, Project Save the World

There is a lot of confusion about uranium enrichment in Iran.

In natural uranium, only 7 atoms out of 1000 are chain-reacting uranium-235. The other 993 atoms are, for the most part, uranium-238 atoms – not a chain-reacting material.

Uranium enrichment refers to any technology that increases the percentage of the chain-reacting U-235 beyond the 0.7% level (i.e. natural uranium). But there is a good deal of misinformation and/or misunderstanding about enriched uranium in the media recently.

Nuclear Explosions

It is often reported that 90% uranium enrichment is “needed” to have a nuclear weapon. This is not true. The Hiroshima bombs had only 80% enrichment. Iran has a good deal of 60% enriched uranium, and you can make a bomb from 60% enriched uranium — it would be bulkier than a bomb with 90% enrichment and therefore harder to deliver, but not so very much harder.

Also, the mechanism needed for making a uranium bomb is very much easier than what is needed for a plutonium bomb. It can be done with a lot less effort and taking very little time. It’s called a “gun-type” atomic bomb rather than an “implosion-type” atomic bomb.

Gordon Edwards

The gun-type bomb just fires one chunk of uranium into another chunk (the target) so that the two chunks add up to more than a “critical mass”. It is so simple it cannot possibly fail – as a result they never had to test this type of bomb before using it. They dropped it on the city of Hiroshima with no testing. There is a need for a precision timed “neutron source” but that is very old technology that has been well known for ages.

The implosion-type bomb is much more sophisticated, requiring a perfectly spherical
