“Little Major Tom” is an adventurous space tale, the details of space travel, climate change, and our future lifes in space have been meticulously researched in this visually stunning experience. Audiences of all ages will enjoy this exciting story of friendship, teamwork, and facing fears.

A hurricane on Earth. A mission in space.

“Little Major Tom” brings the beloved characters of Tom and Stella exclusively to fulldome screens in an exciting tale set in the year 2053. Teenaged friends Tom and Stella live, laugh and train at Space Base 1, honing their astronaut skills as they float above Earth. Stella is ready to dive into any challenge, while Tom is panicking at the thought of completing his first-ever spacewalk. But a massive hurricane is forming on Earth, and Tom must put aside his fears and accept a difficult space mission. If Tom and Stella fail, the consequences could be devastating for them — and for Earth.

Dr. Peter Popp CEO of Softmachine/Reef Distribution and musician Peter Schilling, singer of the international hit song “Major Tom (Coming Home)”, have teamed up to create this new space adventure exclusively for fulldome theaters.

“This show is the perfect combination of great storytelling and fascinating information about our potential future in space,” says Popp. “The story conveys how much fun it is to be in a space station, while also demonstrating how critical teamwork is to that environment. It also incorporates an important message about the future that Earth could be facing due to climate change.”

The show was inspired by the popular German children’s book series, Der kleine Major Tom published by Tessloff. In conjunction with the premiere of Little Major Tom, Schilling is planning a series of special live performances in fulldome theaters of his hit song, “Major Tom”, which is featured in the show.
