Nuclear catastrophe has struck Earth, leaving Commander Kelly all alone on a small space station orbiting the planet, without contact.
It's been 154 days since the catastrophe. 154 days since communication has been severed. With his resources and fight to go on both dwindling, each episode delivers a new audio log from Kelly. Each entry we learn more about his past, as his present torpedoes into an adventure he never could have imagined. Dive into the psyche of a man, alone adrift in space, as he fights not only for a way to survive but for a reason to. Featuring aliens, faraway worlds, and one man's search for meaning, “Man in Space" is a journey that takes place both out across the stars and inward into oneself. Written and Produced by Dillan Cohen, Starring Michael Pate, with Original Music by Nico Sleator and Sound Design by Graeme Haels

Quiet the Body and The Mind Speaks

With all of his usual physical sensations, physical cravings ignored or silenced, something awakens in him. He discovers when you quiet the body, the soul speaks. Dark, long-forgotten memories come flooding back. We also learn the truth behind what Kelly was actually doing in space in the first place.

The Reasons We Hide
Commander Kelly takes cover underneath the floor of his sleeping quarters. With both fear and excitement. Aliens have entered the station. They look and talk like nothing Kelly has ever seen.
