GLOBAL IMPACT & EXPOSURE FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION

HELP US START TO DREAM AGAIN

Famous astrophysicist and the world leading astronomy outreach educator, Neil deGrasse Tyson appeared on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher recently and offered this powerful statement on our future. Watch it here.

“You remember the ’60s and ’70s. You didn’t have to go more than a week before there’s an article in Life magazine, “The Home of Tomorrow,” “The City of Tomorrow,” “Transportation of Tomorrow.” All of that ended in the 1970s. After we stopped going to the Moon, it all ended. We stopped dreaming.

And so I worry that the decision that Congress makes doesn’t factor in the consequences of those decisions on tomorrow. Tomorrow’s gone. They’re playing for the quarterly report, they’re playing for the next election cycle, and that is mortgaging the actual future of this nation, and the rest of the world is going to pass us by.”

We live in a time of economic fear, war and global unease. What all of us need are reasons to dream – to inspire this and future generations to tackle our challenges and build a future worth dreaming of. Outside In is an inspirational call to action.

With the worldwide visibility of this project just beginning and the long-term goal of the film to inspire action in people around the world, Outside In is worthy project for sponsored support. View our sponsors here.

The film is building partnerships with educational, advocacy and interest groups around the world that hunger for inspiring material that sparks interest in science, exploration, improving the world, global connectedness and more.
