Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents Nature Screen “Rise of The Rockets”

The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster continues its Nature Screen film series in a week-long celebration of the 50^th anniversary of the first man to walk on the moon with PBS’ original NOVA documentary; Rise of The Rockets.  
We may be witnessing the dawn of a bold new era of human activity in space, not only for    science and exploration, but also for profit. An explosion of private companies is sparking the development of new technologies and lowering costs to bring space closer than ever. At the same time, NASA is returning to crewed spaceflight with renewed gusto, building a rocket more powerful than even the storied Saturn V to take us far beyond Earth.
 
As costs come down and rockets with new capabilities come online, a new generation is reaching for the cosmos, daring to dream big and yearning to go farther, in greater numbers than ever before.
