For All Humankind

Directly from The Science Channel's news release:

In 1969, the country celebrated the landing on the moon. At the same time, the nation was mourning the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. And Robert F. Kennedy, with civil rights protesters facing violence in the streets. Inspired by overlapping events in 2020 when the first crewed NASA/SpaceX mission took flight while outrage was erupting around the brutal murder of George Floyd, FOR ALL HUMANKIND looks back to compare the contradictions of success and failure in the arenas of human space flight and human rights.

FOR ALL HUMANKIND takes a deep dive into what space exploration means for society by comparing the parallel events of 1969 and 2020. These two years - over fifty years apart - highlight the best the US has to offer in the realms of science, technology and innovation. But both years were also rife with civil unrest, as racial inequity and injustice spilled into the streets with protests that captivated the country and world.
