Is Space "Y"our Dream?

I think it's important to share your passion for something that you feel strongly towards. Space, is something that I do feel this way about. However, it is also something everyone is connected to biologically, chemically, physically, environmentally and emotionally. With our everyday lives depending on the satellites that orbit our planet, to the stardust origins of the atoms within our own body, space affects us all. 

This documentary was made by my classmate and friend Edu Ferrete as part of his Individual Project at ISU. It's on the importance of Space in both everyday life and for the future of mankind and was creatively made with just his own resources and the intention to  inspire thought and provoke action.

 As you watch, consider if Space is your dream. 

Why Space? Why not

It has been two days since Sunita Williams achieved the word record of the most Extra-vehicular Activity (EVA) hours in female history. She spent 10 hours outside the station on 05/09/12 ingeniously using a toothbrush in order to solve the International Space Station's (ISS) power unit problem alongside fellow astronaut Akihiko Hoshide.

I feel that sharing inspirational music will compliment the work of these extraordinary people. The xx is a favourite band of mine and they have just released an online stream of their new album 'Coexist' for people to spread throughout the globe. The geographical direction of this sharing is tracked and illustrated on site. This is an interesting use of the bigger picture of Earth, making people feel closer through music and technology.

Enjoy your trip around the globe through the eyes of 'Coexist' by The xx.
