A Storyscapes Nominee
In Event of Moon Disaster illustrates the possibilities of deepfake technologies by reimagining this seminal event. What if the Apollo 11 mission had gone wrong and the astronauts hadn’t been able to return home? A contingency speech for this possibility was prepared for, but never delivered by President Nixon—until now.
