About

You’ll like The Farthest if you enjoy real-world space exploration stories and big-picture discovery; Not for you if you want a strictly mission-only account like Apollo 11 or Dawn Wall.

Pros: inspiring real-life mission; fascinating interviews; striking outer-planet images | Cons: too much filler footage; poetic narration; focus on records
