    A World Without NASA premiers January 9

    Go Button Media’s (2 x 50’) A World Without NASA invites you to imagine what life on earth might look like if NASA never was. The two-part special, premiering on CuriosityStream January 9th 2020, explores what would happen if the everyday space technology we take for granted simply didn’t exist?

    From online dating to the smart watch, from GPS to groceries, from fire safety to tracking endangered species . . . follow along with a star-studded cast of astronauts, engineers, and other out of this world experts to discover the inexorable ways space technologies completely changed life on earth.

    “A World Without NASA is a ticket to experience a joyride through innovation, bringing the far away concepts of space technology down to earth“ said Rob Burke, Head of Content for CuriosityStream. “At its heart, the series is a really fun journey giving us a peek at the unthinkable – how we’d live without so many of the cutting-edge technologies we often take for granted.”

    ‘We wanted to rocket into how NASA and the space race are critically relevant to everyone, regardless of interest in space or science or age,” said Daniel Oron, the series’ Executive Producer. “Forget the stars, wherever you are, whatever you do, you’re using NASA technology in your daily existence.”

     ‘The Pulse of Tech’ and ‘The Fires of Science,’ episodes 1 and 2, enter a world where innovations disappear in the blink of an eye. Then, follow the space race back to present day to learn what challenges and questions drove the development of the NASA technology. Experts trace the hardware under the hood, always uncovering roots in space tech.

    On working with the team at CuriosityStream, Go Button Media’s Oron said, “CuriosityStream is an incredibly creative partner in that they truly thrive on originality and empower filmmakers to do the same. Right from the start, the back and forth of ideas was inspiring and exhilarating, leading to a final product that we are proud to share with CuriosityStream’s millions of subscribers.”

    A World Without NASA premieres on CuriosityStream January 9, 2020. Both episodes will be available to stream any time. The series will air on documentary Channel February 19th at 10 pm ET.

    A World Without Nasa was commissioned by Steve Burns for CuriosityStream. Executive Producer for CuriosityStream is Rob Burk. Executive producers for Go Button Media are Daniel Oron and Natasha Ryan. DCD Rights distributes the show internationally.
