There’s more to life than money. Just ask an #artist: they #dance and #sing and #paint and write because it’s how they make sense of the world. Think this is a luxury? Think again! My Sept blog is now live. #writer #filmmaker #culture

20 years later, #FOOTPRINTS still shines. Designed exclusively for spherical screens, this defined a new #movie format. We’re celebrating the anniversary with a 2-Pt article. Check it out! #noaa #nasa #1AU #sphere #SOS #filmmaker

#Artemis II: there and back again! #moon #NASA

Acts of creation give life to culture, but culture can not thrive if creators willfully ignore what's happening outside of their studios. A recent experience in a theater brought this responsibility into sharp focus. https://t.co/dL1LgnvYi2

Outdoor camera position ready for the live #Artemis II launch broadcast. We’re in a prime location on a balcony overlooking the firing room, the Vehicle Assembly Building, and Launch Complex 39B 4.2 miles away. #media #NASA #kennedyspacecenter #moon

#Moon mission? I’m at #KennedySpaceCenter on the #media team bringing the #Artemis story to the world. The gig? Awesome. It’s a thrill to be part of it. The mission? Very cool. Rockets? Astronauts? Also cool. But the big news today? I drove a truck. First time for everything!

Oceans of Earth, oceans of space: catching a brief moment of reflection amid a huge team effort to provide media coverage for the upcoming #Artemis II launch. #NASA #space #kennedyspacecenter #media

Main broadcast set on right, gigantic rocket in distance on left. One will be paying a whole lot of attention to the other in just a few days. #artemis #NASA #livetv #kennedyspacecenter

We’re loading in a mountain of broadcast gear into multiple locations at #KSC. On the launchpad, #Artemis II is almost ready for its historic trip to The #Moon. #NASA

[Michael Starobin @MichaelStarobin]

Good morning #KSC! #nasa #artemis

4:30 am, headed to airport. Joining superstar #media team for coverage of upcoming #Artemis launch attempt. #NASA #moon

[Michael Starobin @MichaelStarobin]

#Artemis may be headed to The Moon. I’m headed to Tau Ceti. #movies #projecthailmary

Big plans? That’s why you collaborate. But HOW you collaborate can divide excellence from mediocrity. After years of leading media teams, my latest blog offers some suggestions for your next big project. #filmmaker #creative #collaboration #teams

In towns and cities across the country, I often make a bee line to the local public library when I need a quiet space to focus on some work. This morning I walked to the library in Melbourne, Florida. The day is bright and clear and suffused with cool, still air. #writer

[Michael Starobin @MichaelStarobin]

Nope. The ARTEMIS II launch didn’t happen…yet! But while the press site sits quietly and mostly empty now, we’ll all be back later this spring to try again. #moon #Artemis #nasa #media

[Michael Starobin @MichaelStarobin]

#Collaboration can power flights to The Moon or spark fights about nuthin’ useful. Good collaboration cannot be left entirely to good intention. As a #filmmaker, I’ve learned a thing or two. My latest blog:

The Artemis II SLS rocket will use four of these fire breathing monsters to get to space. I’ll be 4.1 miles away when they ignite. #artemis #nasa #moon
