In this episode, Brileigh and Matthew host a round table discussion about the upcoming Ticket To Space documentary being launched via StudioDAO which tells the story of Yan Kejun, a MoonDAO member from Beijing, who will be sent to space on an upcoming Blue Origin flight. Guests include director Fernando Urdapilleta, producer Susie Conley, MoonDAO co-founder Pablo Moncada-Larrotiz, and StudioDAO co-founders Kenny Miller and Rachel Leventhal.

This wide-ranging conversation touches on the complex themes explored in Ticket To Space: decentralized organizations and coordination, blockchain technology and the state, U.S.-China tensions, and private vs. public space exploration. Ticket To Space will be the first feature length film about a DAO and is being produced in collaboration with StudioDAO, a decentralized movie studio. This DAO meta-narrative is another layer of the story that will unfold over the next few months as production continues. Stay tuned for future episodes in this mini-series.
