NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine speaks before a screening of “Ad Astra” at National Geographic Society on Sept. 16, 2019 in Washington. The screening gave the administrator the chance to talk about exploration plans in the context of movie fiction.
The cast includes Tommy Lee Jones, Brad Pitt, Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler, and Donald Sutherland. Pitt, who earlier in the day had talked to astronaut Nick Hague aboard the International Space Station, stars as astronaut Roy McBride who travels deep into the solar system in hopes of solving a mystery that threatens life on Earth.
