“Walton Goggins is the voice of the new era of space,” executive producer Aaron Fishman said.
A film crew was granted unprecedented access to NASA and to SpaceX headquarters, giving viewers a rare glimpse inside Launch Control and firsthand accounts from SpaceX founder and chief engineer Elon Musk, NASA Administrator Jim Bridentstine and the astronauts flying the mission: Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley.
The documentary reveals the behind-the-scenes action with the teams of SpaceX engineers, NASA employees and scientists as they fulfill the SpaceX mission to “fly, test and fix” their way to the International Space Station – with the goal of eventually flying to the moon and to Mars. The Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon Capsule will send U.S. astronauts into space for the first time since the Space Shuttle was retired in 2011.
