Ray Bradbury, Douglas Trumbull, Richard Edlund, and others appear in this new documentary about the life and work of Chesley Bonestell (1888-1986), an American artist and designer whose visionary, pre-NASA paintings of planets and space travel influenced sci-fi art, illustration, and movies. They also helped to inspire the U.S. space program. DCP. 96 min.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with four guests: Les Bossinas, a retired NASA Glenn artist; Geoff Landis, an award-winning sci-fi author and NASA scientist; Bob Sledz, a retired astonomy teacher; and John Soeder, a writer and musician.
