A chimpanzee is sent on a long deep space mission to find a habitable planet for earthlings to colonize. The fact that the astronaut is a chimp is a nod to our human habit of outsourcing our most mundane and dangerous work. The astronaut and the mission are both named HOPE-65, and she's from a long line of chimps specially trained for this kind of task. We can assume there is no question of ever coming back, no matter what she finds. We don't know how the all previous missions went, but this one found a planet, with oxygen, water, and life! The real question is- is this really a suitable planet for colonization by humans?
HOPE-65 is a 2026 senior film project from the French art school Brassart-Grenoble, specifically the students in the 3D animation and video effects department. You can read more about the film at Kuriositas. -via Nag on the Lake
