The moment when me and my amazing crew, @rookisaacman, @ArceneauxHayley, @ChrisSembroski opened up the @SpaceX cupola for the first time, a true highlight of the @inspiration4x mission. Make sure you tune into Countdown on @netflix to see more epic moments from space! @TIME

So I finally looked at my Netflix, which I hardly do, and watched all 4 pre-launch shows and I must say compared to that cringe monster of a launch show that I suffered through. Aside from the fact that it wasn't directed at most of us I liked it. Hayley really became a star and it helped that she has a big personality and is young and photogenic. Sian has a charismatic personality and also has a really interesting story. I can't imagine having a dad who assisted Neal Armstrong and Co. on their way home and then had a visit from the man himself. Chris seems like a nice guy but got pushed into the background (at least on the show but who knows how he was seen by the crew). Jared and his wife have an interesting dynamic, I thought, and it will be interesting to see how things progress between them now that this chapter of his life is through.

It wasn't aimed at us and was more for the average Joe or Jane who has no idea what is going on out there. Probably still don't nor care. But to bash Netflix for not sciencing the show hard is pretty disingenuous because most of the audience would not have watched it.

i imagine I will watch the last episode just to do it. I hope for some great images and anything else will be gravy.

Excellent 5th episode.

That drone shot (edit: actually it was from a plane) of the launch and in general views of the ascent in HDR were just amazing and alone make this worth watching. On a big HDR screen. Loud.

Could've watched another hour of it and frankly the after-landing part was bit too short, but those are minor issues. Some really cool bits from orbit. Sadly no clip of the Toilet Emergency, but not too surprised it was omitted.

Only thumbs down from couple of completely unavoidable mis-orderings of footage, ie. showing cool shot of nose cone closing from the cupola pointing camera before all the stuff about re-entry burn which obviously happened before the nose cone closed.

Excellent final episode of the Inspiration4 documentary and the whole series was great. It also acts as an effective rebuttal to those complaining about private spaceflight. I mean the fact that even seeing the views of the Earth they took from cupola on a TV screen is still impactful says something. The mission in my view very much lived up to its name.

Loved the episode as well.  One suggestion to folks with fancy 4K, HDR, OLED/QLED TVs: don't watch Netflix via the Windows client (I use my 4K HDR TV as a computer monitor as well.)  You'll get terribly pixilated, non-4K, non-HDR output.  If you use your Smart TV Netflix client instead, you'll get all of the glorious 4K HDR picture.  I had to go back and rewatch the launch sequence properly and it's a night and day difference in picture quality.

Truly an exciting moment for the CP team. I felt a huge sense of responsibility placing remote cameras ahead of I4. They had to work & the shots had to come out great so we could share them with the world. Little did we know it would end up in the #Inspiration4 documentary 🤯

The @inspiration4x docu-series on Netflix shared some of the most beautiful @SpaceX launch cinematography we've seen. Many great shots... including one by our team!!🥳 This slow-mo captured by @johnpisaniphoto. Did you catch it?

After following the mission and watching the Netflix episodes I can see some of the crew going to space again…

Pure speculation…

 I can see Jared Isaacman starting his own space company, or perhaps even working for SpaceX…just as long as he gets another ride to space..

Hayley Arceneaux was, IMHO, the rockstar on this mission…her presence on camera, handling of the media and life story makes her an ideal candidate to participate in the future Dear Moon flight.

Dr. Sian Proctor won’t bother reapplying to NASA…why wait years looking for a flight  ( I’m looking at you Jeremy Hanson), but she will return to space…her artistic skills, social media skills, piloting skills will get her to space again..somehow..


As for Chris Semroski…my sense is he’s done with space…i didn’t get the impression he was ever really comfortable in doing this flight..

Anyhooo…my $0.02…

Hayley and the same goes for Jared and Sian seemed like ducks to water. I could well imagine all three flying again. Chris I think will probably more likely follow up on his statement of visiting all the places he could see from space. I could well imagine Jared investing in the Starship program.

[kevinof]

yeah my take on it also.

Chris seems happy to go off an explore Earth (nothing wrong with that) and I wouldn't be surprised to see the other 3 fly again sometime.

Couple of interesting clips in it - the rumble from the air flow during descent was nice and you could see them experiencing some Gs in the same clip.

Going up-hill appears to be smoother than I thought it would be. The camera may be stabilized but you should still see some shaking of the crew but I didn't see much of any.

Good stuff.

The other thing that struck me about Hayley is she was the only one with no interest in space, or spaceflight, before the mission. But she had an amazing time and became a formidable mission ambassador. Clearly her energy, enthusiasm and positive attitude played a huge part. I think it bodes well for major expansion of human spaceflight in the coming decade.

Doctor Proctor have a decent shot being the first geologist on Mars landing aboard the Heart of Gold with the first SpaceX Mars crewed mission.

If the @netflix #Inspiration4 documentary series doesn't get a bucket of Emmys next year, there's no justice in the world.

Four people with nothing in common learn to work together for the future of humanity. That's what this was about.  A global lesson for us.

[RedLineTrain]

This was a thoroughly enjoyable series for my wife and me.  Usually, my wife tries to enjoy these kinds of things for my sake.  But this one didn't take much effort.

In addition to all that's been said above, the series is a glossy infomercial for crewed Dragon and what you might get for spending $150 million or $200 million with SpaceX.  It shows that SpaceX will work with you to make a unique, meaningful experience.  And that you are in safe hands with the company.
