SPACE: THE LONGEST GOODBYE now showing on PBS's Independent Lens & The on the PBS App. #1

“Space: The Longest Goodbye” follows NASA’s real-life attempts to prepare
astronauts for a journey to Mars. NASA's goal to send astronauts to Mars
would require a three-year absence from Earth, during which communication
in real time would be impossible due to the immense distance. We meet the
psychologists whose job is to keep astronauts mentally stable in outer space,
as they are caught between their dream of reaching new frontiers and their
basic human need to stay connected to home. #moviereviewsandmore #spacethelongestgoodbye #pbs
