Ephemeral in space.

Film by Ieva Aleksejeva 2018

Mankind dreamed of the cosmos for
centuries, looking up at the skies and
envisioning the world beyond. Yet the
vigor to achieve this incredible task
was a quarrel of two nations resulting
in a moonwalk ten years from the first
rocket leaving our earth’s atmosphere.
For myself, the space race is history,
as my life so far has not been fueled
by visions of the fantastic life beyond
our planet. Yet there still are so many
people who remember: can hear the
radio announcing the first launch of the
round-tailed Sputnik 1 to seeing the first
steps on the moon on the television.
The age was a romance that went
just as quick as it came, leaving more
dreamers of fantasy behind.
