Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/OWt_zWWoFz8
In this episode, Brileigh and Matthew host a round table discussion about the upcoming Ticket To Space documentary being launched via StudioDAO which tells the story of Yan Kejun, a MoonDAO member from Beijing, who will be sent to space on an upcoming Blue Origin flight. Guests include director Fernando Urdapilleta, producer Susie Conley, MoonDAO co-founder Pablo Moncada-Larrotiz, and StudioDAO co-founders Kenny Miller and Rachel Leventhal.
