Early in his career, Ed Belbruno was an astronomer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, and he had a radical idea about getting to the moon. Today he’s more interested in moving the people who come to see his paintings. Produced by Mike Lemonick.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
