FORTITUDE - Forging the Trillion Dollar Space Economy is an Apple TV documentary about the people, perils and promises behind the emerging space industry.
Sparked by humanity’s unquenchable thirst for exploration, fuelled by capitalism’s insatiable hunger for profits and propelled by breathtaking technological advances, a New Space Renaissance is emerging. Fortitude uncovers how a few influential individuals with utopian ideas and vast fortunes are forging a trillion-dollar off-world industry, while inspiring millions of us back on Earth. This is the story of those who take the risks, invest the capital, and endeavor to turn science fiction into science fact.
Follow award-winning filmmaker Torsten Hoffmann as he candidly meets leaders in the emerging space industry, including policy makers from the United Nations, renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, leading venture capitalists, established technology companies such as Northrop Grumman and Viasat as well as ambitious start-ups such as Planet, Voyager Space, Privateer, Astroscale and many more.
The film highlights that a new space age has dawned and challenges viewers to question the economic viability of the most hyped projects, sustainability way beyond planet Earth and billionaire bravado.
This is the first public screening of the documentary in Scotland - on the largest screen in Scotland - and director Torsten Hoffmann will personally introduce the film, and participate in a short panel discussion before the screening.
The event starts at 6pm with a chance to mingle with members of the Scottish space sector before the film.
Tickets are free and limited, so please reserve your seat now for what promises to be a popular event for anyone with an interest in space!
