A stunning recommendation from a friend. Thanks Simon. Ambition - a beautiful short film from the European a Space Agency offering inspiration as to why space exploration still important and exciting. With only a matter of days standing between now and the European Space Agencys (ESA) Rosetta Mission landing on its host Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, researchers and the ESA are looking towards what the future of the mission may mean for Earth. As the first successful orbit around a comet, speeding through our solar system on its mission around the sun, the ESA is searching for answers not only on the origin of our Earth, but also of our solar system-something they say they will find in a new sci-fi film released this morning, Oct. 24. Aptly entitled Ambition, the film first screened during the British Film Institutes celebration of Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder, stars Aisling Francioi and Aiden Gillen of HBOs Game of Thrones, and was developed as a collaborative effort between the ESA and Platige Image. Set far in the future, the film shows a master of nanotechnology teaching the process of terraforming a planet, but its a tale of folklore that builds interest in this sci-fi flick. In a lesson begun with the famous words Once upon a time... Gillen explains the origins of water and life on Earth, a tale he relates to the ESAs current Rosetta Mission in deep space. Its a film based primarily in fantasy, but one illuminated by research developing today.
