A Celebration of Entrepreneurialism and a non-profit fundraiser with an exclusive screening of the film "Orphans of Apollo" will take place at the Historic Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro on Friday, May 28, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
"Orphans of Apollo" chronicles the dramatic adventure of the boldest business plan the Earth has ever seen. At the center of the film is 'MirCorp' – the very first entrepreneurial company to have a sole focus on the privatization of space with a fantastic vision of transforming the Russian Mir space station into an outpost for what was intended to be the first phase of a trillion dollar business.
The project was to include mining of asteroids, gravity free laboratories, a space 'hotel' and a research facility. MirCorp was the ultimate start-up company unlike any other the universe had ever seen.
Join this band of rebels out to change the course of history in space as they board a private jet, fly to Russia, and negotiate one of the most remarkable business deals of the final frontier.
Follow this diverse group as they pioneer their way through the new business of space. Listen to the management team as they struggle with issues of branding, finance, technology, and engage in the ultimate slugfest with the most powerful governments and bureaucrats.
