LVJ has been an amazingly collaborative project. For over ten years people all over the world have helped complete this unique indie film and there's still plenty of ways to get involved.

 

In 2011 an era of space exploration came to an end as NASA retired their fleet of aging space shuttles. Seems an ideal time to share with you a new idea.  Watch the short video below to find out more.

 

 

 

 

We're big fans of the shuttle, they feature heavily in the movie.  For the film we needed our very own shuttle, a next generation military craft that could fight in space. So we built the X-74, a hybrid space vehicle at home flying like a fighter in the Earth’s atmosphere or duelling with alien craft in orbit.

 

 

In keeping with the best sci-fi traditions we want to give our spaceships unique names.  We started traditionally with famous folk like Kennedy and historical references like Midway but we’d love your help.

 

We want to offer you the chance to name the space shuttles in the movie.
