About A World Without NASA

When most people hear NASA; they think of rockets and exploration of the universe. In fact, entire facets of our daily lives are fueled by the results of the space race technology. From online dating to your smartwatch heart monitor, GPS to groceries; explore the far-ranging ways the space race completely changed YOUR life.

In this two-part series we’ll explore technologies we take for granted in our daily lives, tracing its roots back to the quest for the stars, and imagine our world had it never happened.

About Vienna Science Film Festival

The Vienna Science Film Festival is a meeting place for the scientific films and sci-fi films in Austria. A film festival that celebrates all things science+fiction.

Filmmakers and scientists may submit their films or VR works in the field of science, artificial intelligence, natural history, art and science fiction. Film is a medium that many of us connect over. With the increasing prevalence of mini-movie-making machines (smartphones), we think film is a great and accessible form of science communication!
