The Space Explorer's Field Guide (wiki) will be a low budget, partially crowd sourced, CC-BY-SA, science fiction TV series about our world, more or less, when space travel is attainable for anybody with a basic understanding of soldering and $200.

It's heavily inspired by Aesop Rock's Spirit World Field Guide, Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the anthology FTL, Y'all.

The year is 2030. 5 years ago, someone uploaded plans for a DIY interstellar engine to hacker news, and … It worked. It could be assembled for peanuts.

The american empire has collapsed. The world is in chaos. Interstellar flight is possible, easy, cheap, not remotely safe.

It's a vast, nearly infinite cosmos. All of it is basically uncharted.

A weird combination of hardcore nerds and long haul hikers are out there documenting it and contributing back to the wiki.
