Development of Science Communication
• Deficit of knowledge • Communication from
scientists to public • One-way communication • Public is informed
Science LiteracyPublic
Understanding of Science
Public Engagement with Science
• Similar to scientific literacy • Focus on the understanding
of the scientific enterprise, including the processes and uncertainties
• Still one-way communication
• Dialogue between the public and the scientists.
• Public engaged in scientific reasoning
• Public engages in practical aspects of science
• Public are simple receivers of knowledge without a say in the process.
• Scientific knowledge lies with the scientific elite of professional scientists
• seen as a way to control and manage public opinion

Starting Points for Ambition
• Rosetta is an exciting (science) mission
• Use the power of pop culture and social networks to reach audiences beyond the typical space enthusiasts. (Main hook: famous actor/actress)
• Create a buzz/hype around the project to reach the untapped audiences

Script Development ROSETTA MISSION
THE FILM
“Ambition”
SCRIPT
The probes float towards him. The Master “wipes the board clean” with a gesture.
A shot from above – we see what the Apprentice has painstakingly constructed. A geometrical river delta cuts through a wasteland surrounded by rubble. The Master rapidly wipes the terrain clean with a seismic wave that spreads out in a hexagonal form.
On the empty “canvas” of the landscape, the Master constructs the setting for his story. The rubble on the horizon turns into the Kuiper belt. Blocks representing the planets appear in the wasteland. The blocks move in “orbits” around the center of the wasteland. Master and Apprentice walk past the symbolic Earth.
MASTER What was the basis of life on Earth?
The Apprentice shrugs her shoulders. The answer is obvious.
APPRENTICE Water.
MASTER In the 21st century, the origin of water and life on earth were still a mystery. People began to search for the answer beyond Earth, and even beyond the Solar System.

Science Consultancy in a Science Fiction Movie
Science has to be accurate enough to serve the story and to convince the viewer hat what’s going on in the movie could actually happen.

"I am surprised that we need something like this at all now. Mankind sends a probe into space to catch a comet and land on it, and we need a great director, film and actors to convince people that this is interesting."

• Rewards-based: backer receives perks for donating• Numerous reasons to crowd-fund:
• funding, exposure• outreach, effort to include the public
• But: some space-related projects cost significantly more than what would be feasible to crowd-fund

Vision for Science Choices for the Future – 2025Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, Government of the Netherlands, 2014
A fascination for science should not be confined to scientists themselves. Appropriate communication about
science and technology will keep the general public in touch with the field and abreast of developments.
Everyone, young and old, will be well-informed and enthusiastic about all aspects of science and technology.
Science must be visible.
