About

Since the 1950s, governments, companies, and researchers have been planting flags among the stars. But while it might seem like there's plenty of room in space, some pieces of celestial real estate are more valuable than others.

[Directed by Tim Rauch, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Tim Rauch].
