    Default The Last Question planetarium show - Narrated byf Leonard Nimoy

    Talking to my brother about visiting the US in 2014 and we got onto planetariums.

    He watched a planetarium show at Abrams Planetarium - The Last Question by Isaac Asimov narrated by Leonard Nimoy.

    Does anyone know where we can get the audio for this show narrated by Nimoy?

    Thanks

    I saw that show at Gate's planetarium in Denver about a bazillion years ago.

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    My brother saw it on the 50th anniversary of the first (Michigan) show - 2006 he thinks.

    Default Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question"

    For those of you who have never read the short story, here's a link:

    It's a very short read. I can see how it could be worked into a graphics show in a planetarium quite easily, though I've never actually seen it done before.

    Got no idea Mark. But it's been posted to Reddit.com several times. It was the first hit on Google.

    Wikipedia does not list the company. But given the list of Planetariums, that means one of the Big Four: AVI, Laser Images, Laser Media, Laser Fantasy.\

    I have Prescient Guggle-Fu and I can't find who contracted him. But I have sure way of getting an answer.

    I hit all the file sharing circuits, and dumps around the world and didnt even find a hint. You can get the audio, but not read by Spock.
