‘Wild Wild Space’ doc captures the risks and rivalries of the new space race
Astra CEO Chris Kemp is already pulling out of a parking spot when he warns the person in the passenger seat that he doesn’t have a valid driver’s license. Like its source material, journalist Ashlee Vance’s 2023 book, “When the Heavens Went on Sale,” the film seeks to chronicle the early days of the new space race by focusing on three of its most colorful companies: rocket makers Rocket Lab and Astra and Earth observation company Planet Labs. For Planet, that’s the NASA-to-startup founder story, which is now far more familiar in the space industry than it was back in 2010; for Rocket Lab, it’s the gall of a New Zealand nobody-cum-genius and his subsequent success; and for Astra, it’s the smooth-talking, slick confidence of Silicon Valley.
