Fight for Space

Fight for Space is a documentary film that asks, why haven’t we gone back to the Moon, or sent humans to Mars? Weren’t we supposed to be there in the 1980s? What lead to the decline of NASA’s budget and why is it stuck in low earth orbit?

Filmed over the course of four years, Fight for Space is the product of thousands of Kickstarter supporters who believe that the exploration of space is worth fighting for. Over 60 interviews were conducted with astronauts, politicians, educators, historians, scientists, former NASA officials, commercial space entrepreneurs, and many other experts in the space community. It is a film like no other that tackles issues no other documentary has touched, featuring newly restored 35mm and 16mm footage from the National Archives NASA collection.
