Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian co-founded an orchestra of scientists at Nasa in 2012 .

The International Space Orchestra has performed with Sigur Rós , Beck and Damon Albarn .

She has also directed five feature films the latest, Doppelgängers , which explores the future of space.

She believes we have learned nothing from history, that humans may be doomed to repeat the mistakes we made in space.

The film gets its name from the two doppelgangers Ben Hayoun-Stépanian hires to accompany her on an analogue mission’ The three women travel to a cave in Spain to take part in a simulation of a space mission.

Her film premiered at Sundance last year , Donald Trump ordered Nasa to close diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Her look today is head-to-toe snakeskin print, huge hoop earrings and neon green nails.

Is she comfortable with conflict? "There is always conflict, but conflict is part of the process. Conflict is never a state that remains," she says.

Her next film is even more mad..
