What does it actually take to survive and live in outer space?
In short: National Geographic teams up with the creators of Lightyear to bridge the gap between science fiction and reality. By interviewing astronaut Tom Marshburn, the team explores the genuine physical and mental demands of living beyond Earth, contrasting cinematic space travel with the actual experiences of those orbiting our planet.
In this exploration, actor Chris Evans, who voices Buzz Lightyear, joins National Geographic science writer Nadia Drake to consult with astronaut Tom Marshburn. The discussion focuses on the realities of space habitation, moving past the spectacle of film to examine the rigorous requirements for human life in orbit.
This collaboration highlights the intersection of storytelling and scientific inquiry. By leveraging the expertise of a real-world astronaut, the project provides a grounded perspective on the challenges of space exploration, offering viewers a clearer understanding of the environment that astronauts navigate daily.
