SCIENCE ON SCREEN® - LINOLEUM with Guest Speaker Dr. Philip Metzger

Cameron Edwin (Jim Gaffigan), the host of a failing children's science TV show called "Above & Beyond", has always had aspirations of being an astronaut. After a mysterious space-race era satellite coincidentally falls from space and lands in his backyard, his midlife crisis manifests in a plan to rebuild the machine into his dream rocket. As his relationship with his wife (Rhea Seehorn) and daughter (Katelyn Nacon) start to strain, surreal events begin unfolding around him -- a doppelgänger moving into the house next door, a car falling from the sky, and an unusual teenage boy forging a friendship with him. He slowly starts to piece these events together to ultimately reveal that there's more to his life story than he once thought.

Prior to the film, Planetary Scientist Dr. Philip Metzger will give a presentation entitled
"The Tragedy of the Commons in Space: Navigating the Growing Problems of Orbital Debris"
