A new Netflix documentary focuses on the growth of Elon Musk's SpaceX and its success in returning astronaut launches to U.S. soil after a nine-year absence.
“To be out there among the stars, I find that incredibly exciting,” Elon Musk says in a new Netflix documentary celebrating the first 20 years of his spaceflight company, SpaceX.
Made by Oscar-winning directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin , Return to Space, which premieres on Netflix on Thursday, April 7, touches on many of the breakthroughs achieved by SpaceX, though it focuses mainly on how Musk and his team of crack engineers helped to bring crewed launches back to U.S. soil in 2020 after a nine-year break following the end of the Space Shuttle program.
