First Trailer for 'Spacewoman' Doc on NASA Astronaut Eileen Collins

"As astronauts, we live on the edge of danger." Screen Daily has debuted a trailer for the documentary film titled Spacewoman, profiling the life & career of NASA astronaut / Space Shuttle pilot Eileen Collins. This is another double doc - another film just premiered at Sundance recently called Sally, about the NASA astronaut Sally Ride who was the first American woman in space. Spacewoman explores the achievements of Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot & command a spacecraft (in 1995 on the STS-63 mission), paving the way for the next generation of female space explorers. A cosmic portrait of the first female astronaut to pilot a space shuttle mission. Eileen Collins broke the glass ceiling all the way into space, and is a riveting storyteller of her own incredible story in this fascinating doc. She narrates her story offering unique insight into the overlooked psychological dimension of astronaut life and the unimaginable pressures that come with it – and the need to keep a cool head even in the most incredible situations. "A small step for a woman, a giant leap for womankind." This film is playing at the CPH:DOX Film Festival next, but has no release date confirmed yet. Looks inspiring & empowering! Space geeks definitely need to keep this film on their radar. // Continue Reading ›
