Once Upon a Time in Space

With the dawn of the Space Shuttle, the US gains ground on their Cold War rivals. A pioneering class of astronauts takes flight, but when tragedy strikes, NASA is left reeling.

When the Soviet Union falls, Russia welcomes US astronauts to their space station Mir. But cooperation between former the Cold War enemies is threatened by a run of disasters onboard.

The Mir's reign in space comes to an end with the arrival of the International Space Station. A new dawn of co-operation awaits, offering hope for a divided world.

Far from their home planet, astronauts living aboard the ISS face the emotional realities of isolation. When war breaks out on Earth, relationships are tested and the future of international cooperation in space is thrown into question.
