Movie idea.

I think the problem you have in making a spaceflight movie is that real spaceflight is, well, fairly boring. At least from the perspective of John Q. Public. Nobody is fighting, there are no big explosions, the uniforms are not in the slightest bit sexy. Even the major challenges that we face in long-term spaceflight are not all that exciting. It's hard to make bone loss or long-term radiation exposure a riveting plot point in a 120-minute screenplay. Space disaster films (Apollo 13, The Martian, Gravity, etc.) do better, because they bring some danger to the table. But as a genre I don't think they really do much to promote spaceflight. I think if anything they make the average person think, "If it's so dangerous out there we should stay home." When people go to the movies they want to see drama, and the entire point of the programs associated with spaceflight is to avoid drama entirely.Movie idea.
