“Return to space” is a Netflix documentary directed by award-winning filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin. The feature follows the journey of Elon Musk and his spaceflight company, SpaceX, as they attempt to send humans back to space.
The film chronicles the challenges faced by SpaceX and its team of engineers, scientists, and astronauts as they prepare for their historic rocket launch to the International Space Station. It also explores the motivations of Musk and his team, who are driven by a shared belief that space exploration is vital to the future of humanity.
The documentary place into the spotlight the fact that commercial companies like SpaceX now play a major role in space travel and exploration, in collaboration with NASA. Elon Musk is prominently featured throughout the film, as well as his vision for space exploration.
From breathtaking footage of the many failed launch attempts to the successful docking of the crewed dragon “Endeavour” to the ISS, “Return to space” is a must-watch for anyone interested in rocket science and space exploration.
Bonjour! Do you know if some of those space documentaries are available in the French language? Greetings from Paris!
Hi Marie. It depends on where you are watching those documentaries. Netflix and Amazon Prime are super good at offering many languages options. Comes to the worst, subtitles are almost always available. Happy watching 🙂
I gave the Cosmos series a go this week and I’ve got to say i’m hooked! Is there a third season planned?
Hi Eric! Super glad you enjoyed the show. And yeah! According to this article, there is a new season coming out next year!
The Planets with Brian Cox was absolutely beautiful. I’ve watched the series 5-6 times already! I’m blown away that they needed to have another person host an ‘American Version’. I can’t wait for Cosmos S3 due next month.
Watch “How far is it episodes by Butler in YouTube”, I have never seen such a detailed space clips(all original pics taken by Hubble , Chandra X and Spitzer,
Details of galaxies, local clusters, nebula actual stars revolving around black holes etc.
Most documentaries are just illustrations with a script and Imaginations.
The omission of “The Universe” is pretty striking. Not saying that you should have included it. But why did you leave it off your list?
Hello Mike, I have only listed documentaries that I have seen. I’m updating the list as I go along 🙂 I’m currently watching “Alien Worlds” on Netflix and it’s excellent. I will be trying “The Universe” soon, thank you for the suggestion. All the best.
How the universe works did not make it to your list
You pretty much gave the list I have already completed watching. I want MORE! :'(
Best narrators: John Hurt, Sir David Attenborough(mainly wildlife though), Professor Brian Cox(his work in ‘The Planets’ by BBC is phenomenal), I also loved Sophie Okonedo’s narration in Netflix’s ‘Alien World’.
If anyone of you know more documentary titles narrated by the above, then please let me know. Thank you.
