Is this film supposed to be a warning? A celebration? A little of both? I sure as hell don't know.

Rated: 2/4

It’s easy to assume that the biggest hurdle to sending people to Mars is vehicle propulsion. Ido Mizrahy’s riveting documentary... suggests the real issue is isolation.

Rated: 3.5/4

Space: The Longest Goodbye, a documentary about the psychological toll of space travel, raises many questions while providing few answers.

Bill Newcott

The Saturday Evening Post

As this insightful documentary suggests, the real challenge (of long-term space flight) may be in tending to the softest of software: the emotional health of both the intrepid men and women who make the trip — and those waiting for them back on Earth.

Rated: 4/5
