Netflix has shared its latest trailer for ‘Return to Space’, a documentary set to stream on April 7, 2022.
“Offering rare inside access to NASA and SpaceX, this is the thrilling story of the nearly 20 year journey to send American astronauts back to space aboard U.S. rockets, from Oscar-winning filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin (Free Solo, The Rescue),” explains Netflix.
The 2-minute trailer teases the NASA and SpaceX mission that sent NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station, aboard Crew Dragon in the Demo-2 test flight, back in May 2020. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket set both astronauts to orbit.
The mission was historical due to the fact it was the first crewed mission for Elon Musk’s SpaceX. It was the first time in nearly a decade the U.S. launched astronauts into space from home soil, avoiding costly seats aboard Russian rockets for the same purpose.
Netflix previously aired another SpaceX documentary, Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space, which sent civilians into space aboard Crew Dragon for the first time, ever.
