BLAST! is a suspenseful story of space exploration told in an astrophysics Indiana Jones-style. In this movie, five-time Emmy winner Paul Devlin, follows his brother, Mark Devlin, PhD, to five continents, from Arctic Sweden to the desolate Antarctic to launch a revolutionary new telescope on a NASA high-altitude balloon. They hope to look back in time to reveal a hidden Universe of never before seen starburst galaxies. At the heart of their quest is the search for the answer to one of humankind’s most basic questions, “How did we get here?” From catastrophic failure to transcendent triumph, their adventure reveals the surprising real life of scientists.
