Gravitation
Over four years that “Gravitation” was produced the NASA’s Space Shuttle program came to an end. There were many reasons for making this series, one of which was that no other technological enterprise has contributed more innovations and inventions to mankind than NASA. From disposable diapers to titanium steel.
For as long time I had considered this project. Reading the theory of evolution and recent discoveries regarding the behavior differences between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals finally pushed me to do it. Neanderthals developed Clovis points and explored their lands but they never refined their skills of crafting flint arrowheads and would cease to venture beyond the water’s edge. Only humans did that. Evolution is the desperate attempt of species to survive. We evolved for other reasons and in large part due to our curiosity and courage. It wasn’t simply for survival that humans set sail across oceans without a compass. It is in our nature. I am more curious about Charles Darwin when Wernher von Braun.
