Ever since the “Giant leap for mankind,” the human race has been in the tireless endeavor to conquer the boundaries of space. However, after the tragic incident of 2003, when the space shuttle Columbia left for its 28th flight but never returned, resulting in the death of all seven NASA astronauts. And then, despite the odds, Elon Musk and SpaceX succeeded in producing lower-cost solution that can safely return to Earth. SpaceX launched a Dragon capsule to bring NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station in 2020. And that is what Return to Space documentary by Netflix is about.
