Especially interesting since it is technically the "intro" or "B plot." (Most of the series is a mini-version of The Right Stuff.) But the first third of the series is an oddball fusion of an office sitcom with a "dirty jobs" style documentary. (That is, JANITORS IN SPAAAAAAACE!)

I thought it was extremely consequential. It was so mich based in physics — I'd recommend ro watch it for that alone

I was motivated to watch it after reading a review with a frame-by-frame analysis of how it got the physics right.

I thought it was crazy to read a huge article on space junk and no reference to Planetes.
