What's the Story?
Destination: Moon takes an in-depth look at the current state of space travel. With commercial space travel coming closer to being a reality, this series of short documentaries asks what scientific and technological achievements will make that happen, and what problems could arise along the way. What role will the moon itself play in the future of space travel? And why does our understanding of the moon shape everything we know about space itself?
Is It Any Good?
Commercial space travel seems closer than ever, which is why it's a good time to try to understand the practical, technical, and scientific forces behind that. Destination: Moon takes an in depth look at the lesser-publicized side of commercial space travel, identifying potential hurdles to it and imagining solutions. The downside is that the documentaries are very dry and straightforward, making them strictly for those with a specific interest in the subject.
