“N.A.S.A. is about breaking artistic barriers,” said N.A.S.A.’s Sam Spiegel. “We tried to celebrate the unifying spirit that art has on humanity with every layer of this project and make a record of unprecedented collaboration. We brought artists together from broad spectrums of genre, race, and geography and encouraged them to step outside of their comfort zone. The film provides a peak into the artistic process of these legendary musicians and artists and celebrates the spirit of collaboration.”
