Filmmaker David Ruck<\/a>\u00a0has created a documentary titled,\u00a0I Want To Be An Astronaut<\/a>\u00a0– “The dream of one boy. The fate of one nation. A documentary about our future in space<\/em>”<\/p>\n

\u201cI Want To Be An Astronaut\u201d is a documentary about a young man who has aspired to be an astronaut since he was 3 and the path he now faces to become one.\u00a0Aside from being a film, we hope to carry a message of inspiration to young people across America by igniting imaginations and fostering the next generation of explorers. While we are not affiliated with NASA or any other organization, we believe in the power of the space program to inspire and engage students. It is by focusing on the raw power of space exploration that we aim to educate young people and give em a little kick in the butt to move ahead with their dreams and work hard to be our next generation of heroes \u2013 whatever avenue they pursue. \u201cI\u00a0Want To Be An Astronaut\u201c<\/em>\u00a0<\/i>asks\u2013and attempts to answer\u2013 imperative issues through interviews with leading space experts as well as exclusive footage of the country\u2019s space centers. Above all, though, the compelling film generates a dialogue not simply about science, but the future of our nation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to this\u00a0update on their Indiegogo site<\/a>, they are finishing up the documentary and it is being submitted to film festivals for this year.<\/p>\n
