It is a story of passion and brilliance, of a man who follows his outrageous dreams. “Beyond Blue Sky” is available on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.

Burt Rutan, the subject of this documentary, is: 1) an aerospace engineer who has designed and built 49 airplanes; 2) the designer of brother Dick Rutan’s plane that successfully circumnavigated planet Earth without refueling; 3) the past leader of a small team of engineers in California’s Mojave Desert who between 2001 and 2004 built the first private manned space program and won the $10 million Ansari XPRIZE; 4) a happy Coeur d’Alene resident who recently spoke at the Innovation Collective.
