Refreshing to see such dedication and progress in a world with its share of problems. Encouraging as as reminder of what private industry can and will do. Enlightening to get a little view of the larger than life Elon Musk. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Highly informative and interesting
I'm not a huge fan of documentaries but I actually watched this from beginning to end and it held my attention throughout. Somebody already said it - I knew part of the story but this really filled in a lot of the pieces about the space industry as a whole.
The film also gives decent insight into the character of Musk and his intentions regarding space travel. He shows genuine care about the mission and the people involved.
Highly recommend even if you hate Musk - still provides a great view of the mission of space travel over the past couple of decades.
