This is the incredible, untold story of Ben Howell, the only man to have ever been abandoned in space and the chance encounter that led to his discovery. This terrifying tale of survival and discovery is a testament to human resilience and the power of chance.

In this short but compelling documentary, I delve deep into the story of how this forgotten astronaut was left to die and the unusual series of events that led to his discovery. Through first time interviews with those involved, I discuss the extreme isolation Ben faced as well as the trauma caused to Jenna – the trainee aero-space engineer who stumbled upon his radio waves, which in turn unravelled the dark conspiracy and exposed the spine-chilling lengths to which some people would go, to erase all traces of of a man’s existence.

“Abandoned in Space: The Miraculous Discovery of a Forgotten Astronaut” – the astonishing mystery of Ben Howell, the man who was set up with the most twisted of consequences. This tale of betrayal, resilience, and unexpected heroism is one that will leave you questioning the ethics of space programmes and the drive to send humans into space.

A big thank you to Jenna Hayes for her bravery and candid interview.
