Brilliant presentation with engrossing tales.
But,.. The episode on Rockets misses some vital accuracy regarding the fuels used. Hydrogen is not the most common, or the most powerful, and while the narration (scripted and read beautifully by Patrick Stewart) is telling us about the limits of Hydrogen power, the visuals show us rockets that fly using LOx and RP1 - the latter being a derivative of Kerosene. For more accurate information on that part of the subject matter, Tim Dodds on Everyday Astronaut has a brilliant presentation. Misses being 10 stars only to reflect the work of the researchers and script writers being 'mostly accurate'.
