These partnerships often aim to bring authentic space experiences to the big screen and inspire interest in science and technology.
• Interactive and Digital Content: NASA engages in creating interactive content, such as its "First Woman" series, an interactive graphic novel designed to inspire and educate about space exploration ⁵. They also leverage various social media channels to share updates and engaging content ².
