'For All Mankind'

 

A combination of my two favourite things, space travel and Brian Eno. I love everything associated with space travel, be it the spacesuit designs, the sleek colour palette of the rockets, or the endeavor of man the push ourselves to new boundaries. The documentary 'For All Mankind' shows the voyage of the first men on the Moon - shot using mainly their own recorded footage, it also uses their own words and diaries for the narration. The added bonus of a soundtrack by Brian Eno makes it a must see.

  
"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." John F. Kennedy September 12, 1962.

"Beam Down" Solar Tower.

"The 'beam down' process inverts conventional tower solar tower technologies, which uses mirrors (heliostats) to direct the sun's rays onto a receiver at the top of a central tower to heat a heat transfer fluid (molten salt, oil, or water) in order to generate steam, which is then used to drive a steam turbine. By placing the receiver at the base of the tower (ground level), the research team believes that they can reduce energy losses resulting from pumping the fluid to an elevated receiver, raising operational efficiency and lowering electricity generation costs."  ameinfo.com
