Space has been used to present various narratives. Space is used as a allegory for political meanings. Aliens watchers: our technology and great ancient landmarks.

Interest toward space exploration per country is what drives space programs: movies play a part in letting the public listen to these ideas of colonizing and exploring the cosmos. Influential space films: destination moon (1950, discuss funding, government, private industry. Interstellar: ravaged earth, must leave to survive, wormhole travel. Jumping from point a to point b: go close enough to a massive star, there is a time dilation. Played a part in understanding space and why do we go there: films justify why we spend all this money.
