Since the beginning of time, people have gazed upward at the night sky in fascination. But most people don’t realize what is up there or how much our modern way of life depends on the thousands of satellites that fly around our planet. Orbiting the Earth are satellites that allow us to communicate with each other, monitor the weather, help us get to where we’re going and keep our country safe. Always Above explores how close space is to our daily lives and the role that the U.S. Space Force plays in launching, operating and defending these assets.
This 12-minute, visually stunning journey takes audiences from the depths of the ocean to thousands of miles into space. Always Above is an inspiring, educational experience for people of all ages who have ever looked to the skies and asked, “What’s up there?”

Founded in 1971, GSD&M is an ideas-driven, fully integrated agency that has been building some of the world’s most iconic brands for the past 50 years. Headquartered in the music-loving, tech-driven, creative hub that is Austin, we exist to create ideas that make a difference by cultivating First & Only brands—fueled by ideas that are the first of their kind for the only brands that can pull them off, becoming valuable currency for brands. They stand out and distinguish the brand in a sea of sameness and stretch marketing dollars—earning media, getting attention and building brand devotion. We believe that First & Only ideas come from understanding the problem at hand—spending time with consumers wherever they are is at the heart of our process.
We seek like-minded brands and teams that share a passion for the products, services and experiences that make a real difference in consumers’ lives. We are an agency team that believes that when you pay the price to really understand the issues and challenges facing a brand, the best ideas are created by doing things together that have never been done before.
