History 101: The Space Race (2020)
Season 1, Episode 2
6/10
Good overview, but some false facts
26 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Great overview of the space race with interesting additonal info about the time and the different things that happened and contributed to the space race like the cold war.

But there was some wrong information, for example did they say 30 people died to this day connected with space travel and all of them during tests. I don't know the exact number of deaths in space travel, but i know for a fact that 18 people died during missions, not in tests. 12 astronauts, 2 civilians and 4 cosmonauts.

Additionally there where some wrong pictures used, like pictures from astronauts on the moon that were shown while they talked about Neil Armstrong but could only be astronauts from Apollo 14 onwards because of the red stripes on their suits.

The thing with the photographs isn't that bad because if you don't know it it's just any astronaut on the moon. But the information about the deaths in space travel was very wrong. Finding mistakes like that in documentaries always makes me question the accuracy of all the other facts they show that i don't know as much about.
