Wild Wild Space: The Frenetic Race to Dominate Low-Earth Orbit


The long-awaited documentary based on Ashlee Vance’s book “When the Heavens Went on Sale” is set to premiere on July 17th. In Ashlee’s own words, “Wild Wild Space”

…offers the first in-depth examination of the current incarnation of the space race by focusing on Rocket Lab, Astra Space and Planet Labs and the people behind the companies. It’s an unfiltered look at why making rockets is so hard, the wonders and perils of satellites and why low-Earth orbit is so important to our modern economies and ways of life.

The trailer has already given us this gem:

I’m not sure how much unfiltered Peter Beck is in the film, but I’m ready for whatever it has to offer.
