UCF Space Week: Watch Party of Starman
UCF Space Week: Watch Party of Starman In-Person
Join UCF Library for a viewing of Starman (2026) a documentary about the incredible life of one member of NASA's team.
In this intergalactic biopic, we follow Gentry Lee, Chief Engineer for Planetary Exploration at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and sci-fi writer, on his journey to space and on Earth. From the Viking and Voyager missions to co-authoring the actual future with Arthur C. Clarke, Lee’s life has been spent with his head in the stars and his feet on the ground. In this visually stunning documentary, the octogenarian Starman reflects on decades of space exploration alongside friends like Carl Sagan.
