Homo Spatius

Can Homo sapiens evolve into Homo spatius?

Will it ever adapt? Combining human adventure and the exploration of the human body, this film offers unique insights into the physical and psychological effects of space travel on the Astronauts and measures the impact on medical sciences.

A legendary entertainer and a pioneer of gay activism, Miwa was born Akihiro Maruyama.
