“Orphans of Apollo” chronicles the dramatic adventure of the boldest business plan the Earth has ever seen. At the center of the film is ‘MirCorp’. The very first entrepreneurial company to have a sole focus on the privatization of space with a fantastic vision of transforming the Russian space station into an outpost for what was intended to be the first phase of a trillion dollar business. The project was to include mining of asteroids, gravity free laboratories, a space ‘hotel’, and a research facility. MirCorp was the ultimate start-up company, and unlike anything the universe had ever seen.
Followed by a Directors Question & Answer with Keynote Speaker Astronaut & Test Pilot Brian Binnie
