movie rocket takes off astronaut swings into engine

A gravity-defying boy raised in seclusion matures into an extraordinary man -- and an international celebrity -- who longs for human connection.

Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first Shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The Shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone-tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness of space. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

In the cockpit of his spaceship, an astronaut receives a 360° home movie from his girlfriend, just a few minutes before blasting off as one of the first colonists to be sent to Mars to initiate terraforming. The astronaut will not see his girlfriend again, and the Earth may soon be uninhabitable. ROCKETMAN 360 is a sweet and sentimental final-generation love letter to an interplanetary traveller ready to embark on a noble and dangerous mission.

THE ROCKET MOVIE takes you back to that hot summer night when David Leslie attempted to launch himself over a mountain of watermelons on a Soho street before a crowd of 2,000 dazzled spectators. The story unfolds with the narration of veteran Hollywood stunt coordinator Gary Zeller (DAWN OF THE DEAD, RAGTIME, SCANNERS), who "put his reputation on the line" to collaborate with the Impact Addict. Filmmaker Larry Fessenden brings to this stunning documentary all the passion and drama of that spectacular night: As James Brown look-alike Jack Dingas pumps the crowd with an American anthem, our Rocket Man climbs aboard his bastard craft and bids farewell to the woman he loves—only to end that night in a near fatal fiery crash.

From the perspective of a rocket launch simulator, this film follows the emotional ups and downs of the machine's struggle to feel "good enough".

Astronauts blast off to explore the moon on Rocketship X-M or "Rocketship eXploration Moon". A spacecraft malfunction and some fuel miscalculations cause them to end up landing on Mars. On Mars, evidence of a once powerful civilization is found. The scientists determined that an atomic war destroyed most of the Martians. Those that survived reverted to a caveman like existence.

A long time ago, years before Elon Musk reached for the stars with his Space X project, a young man had his own childhood dream about a journey into space. This documentary tells the fantastic story of German astrophysicist Lutz Kayser who developed the world's first private space company. He did this under the curious and concerned eyes of secret services around the world.

In front of television crews and thousands of spectators, Spaceship-1—commanded by Commodore Hardt, inventor of the powerful rocket fuel "Neotan-X"—blasts off on the first flight to the Moon.

An animated interpretation of a rocket voyage to the moon demonstrates the scientific principles at play in theoretical space travel (such as gravity).
