I've really enjoyed the first 3 episodes of this documentary. Lots of great footage, and although Chris Cassidy is the focus it really covers a broad range of people in various teams on the ground as well as other astronauts.

I just finished watching the complete series (six episodes).

I was particularly impressed by the behind-the-scenes access the filmmakers had to the deliberations, planning meetings and preparations that went into carrying out the series of spacewalks to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS). The tension that comes across adds an new layer to the story, which I think was largely missing from the live coverage.

Chris Cassidy's story serves as the string that connects all of the events together and adds a level of personal insight into what is like to be an astronaut today. In a lot of ways, the finale to Cassidy's astronaut career feels like the bookend to the first 20 years of continuous human operations in low Earth orbit.

(As an aside, keep an eye out in episode three and you might spot the back the head of someone familiar.)

Disney is starting to remove content from its streaming service as part of a cost-cutting measure and, as of today, "Among the Stars" is among the titles slated to be pulled.

Just a heads-up if you have been meaning to watch but haven't yet.
