“Wanderers” Video on the Future of Space Exploration

space exploration
Erik Wernquist, a digital artist and animator from Sweden, has created a stunning video showing the future of space exploration called Wanderers. The video depicts real places in our Solar System, using digital effects to create what they might look like.

Take the tour, using narration from the late Carl Sagan, to see what future generations might get to see for real.

The Carl Sagan narration is taking from the astronomer’s reading of his book, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space (1994). Wernquist explains that his non-profit production of the video is designed “to enlighten and inspire.”

    Watch Sci-Fi Film That Promotes Real Rosetta Comet Mission

    European Space Agency

    The European Space Agency released a short science fiction film, Ambition, to promote its upcoming real Rosetta probe. The ESA hopes the unusual tactic will help explain to the general public the purpose of the mission, which is a study of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. In November, they will put a small robot on to the surface of the ice comet to analyze it.

    The film, which runs less than seven minutes, stars Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones) and Aisling Franciosi. Check out Ambition and learn more about the Rosetta probe.

    Ambition was filmed in Iceland, and it initially screened in London on October, 24 2014 during the British Film Institute’s sci-fi program, Days of Fear and Wonder. For more on the making of the film, check out this video.
