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.
