Nick Schager The Daily Beast 09/10/2021
It's an aggressive sales pitch masquerading as a typical Netflix non-fiction venture... with all the dewy-eyed melodrama, swelling music, and rousing headshots that a 45-minute episode can contain. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 10/15/2021

It's a natural for space fans, but anyone can appreciate the positive and emotional impact Inspiration4 had on the people who were involved in it. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 09/07/2021
We're hoping that once Hehir turns to the mission itself, the docuseries will get more interesting and less of a butt-kissing exercise. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gianni M 08/17/2022 Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space is a docuseries that knows how to excite thanks to its protagonists and surprising images, but perhaps the desire to give an even more epic tone to the enterprise has ended up making everything less impactful. Despite this, there are shots that leave you breathless, and if the intent was to inspire, in many ways the milestone has been achieved. See more Richard H @Rich78 02/12/2022 Very political in the way it promotes individual charity over shared responsibility thus making Americas billionaire class so absurdly wealthy at the expense of those in need. Also personally I would feel bad knowing my gender or skin color played any role in my selection to the mission in the name of diversity. It is very clear that this is a PR project designed to promote corporate space exploitation over tax funded national space projects which would benefit all in the name of science. Watching this is a reminder that America has more extreme wealth and simultaneous poverty than the rest of the world See more 10/27/2021 Probably one of the best motion picture work I was ever given to watch. Following this crew as they question the meaning of life, overcome fear of death, to launch to space and achieve this unprecedented journey. Lot of real life tears and emotions in this serie. Lot of amazing people; the crew and Space X staff. Mind-blowing and overwhelming ! See more 10/24/2021 Fantastic, Hayley Arceneaux was awesome. Watching her hike up Mount Rainier was unbelievably See more bob m 10/18/2021 4 amazing people who really truly deserve to go to space take us with them on the journey. We get to be part of the stress, the love and the scientific miracle as they make history. Bring tissues!!! See more 10/06/2021 I was surprised at how teary I got while watching this. Absolutely inspiring, and I adored the four crew members. I can't wait to see what happens next in the new space race! See more Read all reviews
