Synopsis
Experts discuss the past, present and future of U.S. space programs.
Storyline:
Fight for Space explores the past, present, and future state of the US Space Program, while making the argument that the exploration of space brings economic and cultural benefits to the nation. This film probes why and how the space program came adrift, will examine our current plans and asks, why don't we have a more ambitious space program and what steps can be taken to fix it?
My Involvement in Fight for Space
I worked as a camera operator on Fight for Space, Paul J. Hildebrandt's feature documentary about why America stopped exploring beyond low Earth orbit and what it would take to go back. The production took me to Houston and Washington DC, where I shot interviews with figures across the space world, including NASA historian John Logsdon, then-Senator Bill Nelson, Mars One founder Bas Lansdorp, and actor and space advocate Robert Picardo.
