At the beginning of 2022, the US space agency (NASA) announced the place and time when the International Space Station (ISS) would end; As the agency made it clear its intention to flood the station in the so-called “Spacecraft cemetery” in the Pacific Ocean, in January of 2031. And NASA published a tweet saying that “the space station has provided unique opportunities for more than 20 years. for research and results,” adding that “the Biden-Harris administration decided to extend the mission of the orbital laboratory until 2030.” In return, the US government’s space agency intends to supplement space research by purchasing the services and flights of private space companies.
This news gives special significance to the documentary The Wonderful: Stories From the Space Station, which was released last year and which OSN has finally started broadcasting. But if we want to summarize this documentary review in one sentence, we can say that unfortunately there is not much surprising in it, and the stories contained in it, did not happen on the International Space Station.
But the importance of the documentary lies in identifying a specific group of astronauts who lived on the International Space Station out of more than 200 personalities who visited the station. The dialogue with the astronauts focuses on their childhood memories and personal stories with their families, most notably the story of love, separation and longing between American astronaut Catherine Coleman, her husband and her son. However, the main weaknesses of this documentary may be the soundtracks and the music that often do not fit in with the moment and are distracting.
