This week on Moonsnacks, hosts Dr. Ed Hoffman and Jessica Fox send telecommunications trailblazer Walda Roseman on an interstellar journey with three carefully chosen films that reflect her extraordinary career bridging global communications.

As the former COO of the Internet Society and current Chair of the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation, Roseman has spent decades proving that "as long as we can communicate, there's a chance for peace." Her lunar cinema selection reveals this philosophy beautifully: It's a Wonderful Life for its butterfly effect of kindness, Arrival for its celebration of linguistic courage in the face of the unknown, and Love Actually to remember "what being human is all about" during her solitary moon sojourn.

From her early days performing alongside her actress mother to becoming the first woman in numerous senior telecommunications roles, Roseman's story is one of resilience, faith, and determination. She shares moving insights about growing up in an orphanage, pioneering international satellite communications, and her current work developing the HAL 9000 Challenge—an intergenerational collaboration aimed at ensuring humanity thrives in our AI-driven future.

Plus: Endless Oreos (with milk) await her on the lunar surface!
