No one can.  Because NASA has put the kibosh on it, unlike the movie Apollo 18, which accuses NASA of spreading sentient moonrocks around the world in a bid for, uh, world domination?  I&#8217;m not clear on that part of the movie Apollo 18, which wasn&#8217;t written by, directed by, or starring Richard Garriott, but it did take place in space.  The difference is that Garriott&#8217;s movie was actually shot in space during his $30 million stint as a space tourist.<\/p>\n<p>Garriott&#8217;s space movie is news to me.  I know he was promoting whatever that MMO was at the time that had his name attached.  But he also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/01\/14\/richard-garriott-space-movie_n_1206198.html\">made an eight-minute short<\/a>, starring himself and some local talent (i.e. astronauts).  However, NASA hasn&#8217;t given him clearance to, I dunno, post it on YouTube or whatever he would do with it.  Garriott insists NASA doesn&#8217;t have ulterior motives, and he speculates that it&#8217;s just a matter of the levity not being appropriate.  But that&#8217;s exactly what he would say if he was trying to deflect suspicion from an organization spreading sentient moonrocks in a bid for world domination that didn&#8217;t want their plot inadvertently exposed by something you might be able to see in the background of Garriott&#8217;s footage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is NASA suppressing Richard Garriott&#039;s made-in-space film debut?
