Well, there's the home page:
GaiaSelene website. I tried.
Later:
Wired review:
Quote:
Proser's new documentary, Gaia Selene, suggests that colonizing the moon isn't just a lark, but the best way to save humanity.
The moon, the film argues, will provide the Earth with infinite clean, cheap energy. Our ailing globe will stabilize. Wealth and good fortune will spread throughout the planetary system.
[...]
Still, anyone judging Gaia Selene based on its journalistic qualities will find it lacking; it plays like a promotional video for space exploitation industries.
Gaia Selene glosses over the challenges, financial and otherwise, that face lunar colonies. The U.S. government's role in space exploration -- which some describe as problematic -- doesn't get much consideration, either.
