Space Inc: The Next Big Disruption

Space Inc. is a multidisciplinary documentary film that explores what just might be the most disruptive industry of all time: commercial space. The commercial exploitation of outer space has already impacted daily life through applications such as satellite television, the electronic banking system, air and sea navigation and weather forecasting. Future technological advancements are beyond our imagination, but current research indicates that activities such as space tourism and space mining are likely to soon become a reality. Made by researchers and independent artists, Space Inc. discusses this important topic with experts and industry leaders from around the world in order to understand how the rise of the commercial space industry may forever change our society, economy, psychology, and the planet itself. Historically, space exploration was an activity exclusive to governments and their respective space agencies. Though outer space has been a feature of our lives through film, television, books and our imagination, it has been distant from public reach. But things are about to change. The use of outer space by private commercial entities is now a reality and it is already responsible for the majority of the investments and emerging technologies in space exploration. Plans for space mining and human settlements present the opportunity to democratize space and achieve outcomes that was only a dream.

But this dream triggers a series of political, legal, economic, social and existential questions. What impact will space mining have on both the Earth and space environments? Will space business provide opportunities for developing nations or will it increase the gap between rich and poor countries? Can space tourism produce a new philosophical debate about a borderless world? Can the democratization of space lead to the creation of a better society on Earth? The film wants answers to these and other questions. Through interviews with Politicians, Economists, Environmentalists, Lawyers, Military personnel and Business People, Artists, Philosophers, Astronauts, and Academics, Space Inc aims at bringing us to the depths of the fascinating world of the private commercial space industry, including space transportation, settlements, mining and weaponization in an effort to aid its potential impact on humanity.
