Critics acclaimed this film for its breathtaking imagery and richness of insights.〔http://blog.documentarychannel.com/post/12768401054/spacetouristsreview〕 The film accompanies the first female space traveler who was not a space agency employee, Anousheh Ansari, who paid US $20 million for her flight into space. On the other side the film shows the poor Kazakh metal collectors risking their lives in search for rocket waste that fall literally from heaven. In the film we hear as well Magnum photographer Jonas Bendiksen who has followed these metal collectors long time ago. The film has its sad and funny sides. We observe for example Charles Simonyi, chief developer of Word and Excel at his space training and at his tasting of space food. Another protagonist of the film is Dumitru Popescu, an aerospace enthusiast who applied at the Google Lunar X-Prize of the X-Prize Foundation, founded by Anousheh Ansari. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Space Tourists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
