Rise to the Sky
Throughout time, ‘Space’ and ‘Sky’ have symbolized an unknown territory, a utopian surface to which we speculate and dream. ‘Rise to the Sky’ is an audio piece, a collage of documents reflecting upon the connection between the MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies and Sky and Space practices, and subsequently its relationship to NASA.

Houston we have a problem 2
NASA sound recording, April 14, 1970.
2. Announcement made by Commander Jim Lovell following the explosion of an oxygen tank which tore off the side of the spacecraft service module. Houston, we have a problem’ was used later as the tagline for the 1995 film - Apollo 13. The use of the tagline in the film brought about a renewal in its use, from then onwards, it began being used in non-spaceflight contexts.
NASA’s Mission Control Center was planned to be built right next to MIT in the Kendall Square area. The myth goes that if it wasn’t for Kennedy’s assassination, the NASA would have been built in Kennedy’s hometown as he was a local Massachusetts man—that NASA decided to move Mission Control to Houston, conveniently, in Texas, the home state of President Lyndon B. Johnson. If NASA had established by Charles River, the famous phrase would have been, ‘Cambridge, we have a problem’.
(ES) Anuncio hecho por el comandante Jim Lovell luego de la explosión de un tanque de oxígeno que se desprendió del costado del módulo de servicio de la nave espacial. Houston, tenemos un problema' se utilizó más tarde como lema para la película de 1995 - Apollo 13. El uso del lema en la película provocó una renovación en su uso, a partir de entonces, comenzó a utilizarse en contextos no espaciales.
Se planeó construir el Centro de Control de Misión de la NASA junto al MIT en el área de Kendall Square. El mito dice que si no hubiera sido por el asesinato de Kennedy, la NASA se habría construido en la ciudad natal de Kennedy ya que él era un hombre local de Massachusetts, que la NASA decidió trasladar Mission Control a Houston, convenientemente, en Texas, el estado natal del presidente. Lyndon B. Johnson. Si la NASA se hubiera establecido por Charles River, la famosa frase habría sido "Cambridge, tenemos un problema".
