Space, Inc.
Fault Lines explores what happens when aggressive corporations go in search of profits in the unregulated territory that is space.
Space is up for sale, and only big business can afford to buy.
The American government is no longer exerting its space supremacy. NASA’s annual budget has been cut by more than $1 billion since 2010. The space shuttle program has been mothballed. International Space Station resupply missions are being put out to private tender.
So, who’s left to roam the final frontier?
Fault Lines will boldly go where no program has gone before to explore what happens when aggressive corporations search for profits in outer space.
