The Space Race – The untold story of the first Black Astronauts

Join us on an exhilarating journey with AROSE as we present the National Geographic Documentary Film ‘The Space Race’ in Australia, a tribute to the groundbreaking achievements of pioneering Black astronauts at NASA. These heroes, who ascended beyond the societal force of racial discrimination, symbolize the spirit of exploration and the relentless pursuit of excellence. This documentary is not just a tale of space voyages; it’s a profound narrative about resilience, unity, and breaking through societal barriers.

AROSE champions Australia’s engagement in the Artemis era, and we believe that the conversation of diversity, equity and inclusion provided by this film, is fundamental to the Space sector, now and into the future.

This is a free event, but registration is essential as limited places are available.  Some events include a curated panel of speakers who will present after the film screening, check details on the various events, listed below.
