Beyond the Launch Pad - Project Skyfall

In this episode of Beyond the Launchpad - the Interstellar Gateway team members K, Joey, and Sam discuss the logistical planning that went into "Project Skyfall," an ambitious documentary mission to an uninhabited and extremely remote island, in the Bahamas, that was created with the intention of capturing SpaceX's 9th test flight of their Starship rocket.

Flight-7 Preparations

In this episode of Beyond the Launchpad, we’re diving into SpaceX's Flight 7 test flight for their Starship rocket and the challenges of documenting history in the making at Starbase, Texas. From weather delays and camera malfunctions to engineering setbacks, we reveal what it takes to capture rocket launches under intense and unpredictable conditions. We also dream big, imagining the ultimate space missions we’d love to film—whether from the pages of history or the future of exploration. We’ll have some laughs over a funny spacewalk video, enjoy some astronaut freeze-dried ice cream, and compare notes on Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket. Join us for an episode that celebrates both the chaos and wonder of capturing humanity’s leap toward the stars!
