An eight-minute film by Richard Garriott shot during his time as a paying civilian aboard International Space Station (ISS) will be release for public viewing after all. Release ofApogee of Fear was in jeopardy of becoming an expensive vacation video until NASA recently lifted their ban and has committed to work with Garriott on it’s completion.
Garriott had shot the short film based on a screenplay written for him by Tracy Hickman, co-creator of the Dragonlance share universe. Two NASA astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut helped make the film while in space, effectively creating a few milestones — creating the first film in space and turning astronauts into amateur filmmakers.
