Welcome to astrophysics Indiana Jones style!
Five time Emmy winner Paul Devlin follows the story of his brother, Mark
Devlin PhD, as he leads a tenacious team of scientists hoping to figure
out how all the galaxies formed by launching a revolutionary new
telescope under a NASA high-altitude balloon.
Their adventure takes them from Arctic Sweden to
Inuit polar bear country in Canada, where catastrophic failure forces
the team to try all over again on the desolate ice in Antarctica. No
less than the understanding of the evolution and origins of our Universe
is at stake on this exciting escapade that seeks to answer humankind's
most basic question, How did we get here?
BLAST! is about the crazy life of
scientists. Their professional obsessions, personal and family
sacrifices, and philosophical and religious questioning all give
emotional resonance to a spectacular and suspenseful story of space
exploration.
