Reviewed by James Gordon, University at Buffalo LibrariesThis reminded me of films shown in elementary school during the 1950s. What will life on Mars be like? Will terraforming and other technologies be utilized to support civilization? What will civilization be like? How well are we managing planet Earth right now? How does this translate to the future?
These questions are addressed in visual poetry set to an original score. The movie asks for consideration of improving the current state of our planet before undertaking the task of populating another one.
Bluespace is good for inspiring young minds to think about the possibilities for the future of humans and carrying civilization to Mars and other worlds.
