na n Itll tell you who todays players are in the space rocket bizness, but it wont go onto what lies ahead. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Daniel O Very fun and informative film if you're not in the aerospace industry. A must watch if you're in tech, a nerd, enjoy documentaries or are interested in space to any degreed. If you're deep in the industry, I have a gut feeling you might be watching it and calling out all the inaccuracies as I do when I'm an "expert" in something. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Noneya B A tale of success, of failure. One of grit, another of low class scheming and government waste. I enjoyed it.

Can't wait..... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Audience Member I can only recall seeing very few business-related documentaries where external observers got such an intimate access over long periods of time (three “New Space” companies are covered from about 2016/2017 until early 2024, with older material mixed in from the company archives and other sources). The documentary reveals how the grip on space and rockets has shifted from national states, bureaucratic organizations (like NASA) and their long-term suppliers (often huge companies like Boeing, Lockheed etc.) to ambitious, nimble and energetic start-ups who skirt or even overstep established rules. These tectonic shifts will affect all of us in terms of safety, national security and privacy. Satellite constellations already rule our daily life on Earth right now, for better or worse: From GPS positioning in cars and planes, over emergency calls in remote areas with no conventional cell phone average, to more accurate weather forecasts and troop or refugee movements in or ahead of conflicts across the globe. The documentary's title is therefore very fitting indeed, the skies have become a Wild Wild Space. Sort of a "land grab in space" in the 21st century. Space is now open for business, not just for a few billionaires or very powerful nation states. The WWS documentary is eye-opening in this regard, we are only at the very beginning. The private space sector today (2024) is maybe at the development stage of the early Internet/WWW era back in 1994 (if I had to take a guess). Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Sal D A very polished documentary that explores various aspects of the commercialization of space through the eyes of a number of entrepreneurs. Definitely worth a watch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
