Featured reviews
This is one of the BEST documentary movies that I've ever viewed so far. There were moments I suddenly realized I was holding my breath during those critical launching, docking, and then back to the earth, the blackout period, those processes were just so daunting and nervous breaking. What a journey of our space endeavor. I finally had the opportunity to share those moments with Elon Musk and those who worked together with him. What a great viewing experience, so unforgetable. Thanks to the production team who made this documentary seamlessly made, allowing us to energetically rekindle hopes during this darkest pandemic era as well as the atrocity that Russian's Putin has caused.
Great insight on Space X.
Outstanding docu and great storytelling.
This documentary shows you the timeline of Space X and it's failures and success.
Elon is relentless and has changed the space industry with Space X.
Space X creates hope and overcomes challenges in this documentary about space travel.
A definite must watch if you enjoy space exploration.

If there's one message this documentary tells us, it's that they want the future of space exploration to continue with the coming generations - and I believe this is both a great documentary and era for the youth to delve deeper into it!
The nerve-racking, high-pulse and even tearful moments I felt through the series made me really connect with the emotions of the individuals involved in the development of these projects. I really wish I was part of the first rocket launches, or even had interest in them when they launched - memories for life I know I missed. However, this documentary captured the moments with brilliance! (Since I felt all of this!) For the next NASA/SpaceX launches I will make sure I witness them digitally or...in real life!!

I find the idea of going back to the moon and establishing colonies, then to Mars incredibly exciting for mankind. Honestly, it's about time. I'm just really glad we have someone like Musk who genuinely wants mankind to progress, and has the ambition and of course funds to do it. We have to keep moving. To remain static is death.
It was interesting to learn about SpaceX and it's history, but I was really hoping to learn more about their plans for the Moon and Mars. The documentary itself was nothing special and would probably be quite boring for someone who only has a slight interest in space.
Very excited for the things to come from Musk and his team at SpaceX.

As Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai got us used to, here we have another great documentary that takes us through highs and lows of american space history, taking a deep look into the main characters themselves. Great edit, stunning shots and wrapping music. Must-watch for documentaries lovers.
