Always Above

New fulldome space show is premiering on National Space Day, May 2, 2025.

Always Above explores how close space is to our daily lives, what satellites are up there, the threats that exist, and the role that the U.S. Space Force plays in developing, launching, and operating these assets

Most people don’t realize just how much our modern way of life depends on the many satellites that fly around our planet. Only 62 miles above us is where space officially begins. Orbiting our planet right now are thousands of satellites, including communication satellites, weather satellites, and Global Positioning System (GPS)
satellites, that allow us to communicate, shop, track storm systems, and find our way.

And while many view space as a peaceful domain, these satellites are constantly being challenged by thousands of pieces of space debris, as well as threats from other nations who wish to dominate the space for their own aims.

From the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space, discover how U.S. Space Force Guardians defend this crucial high ground, ensuring space remains accessible for science, commerce, and national security. Perfect for audiences of all ages, Always Above offers an inspiring and educational experience as it begins to answer the question that we have all asked: What’s up there?

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.
