They should have gotten Tom Hanks to produce it. That man lives and breathes the space program and did an outstanding job on "From the Earth to the Moon."

Not saying NatGeo won't do a slam up job.

It says "award-winning" documentary producers. I have high hopes for this.

This sounds like a massive undertaking to document the entire project.



"Filming over the next four years — from now until the lunar landing launch — and using National Geographic’s print and digital storytelling platforms, Return To the Moon will give viewers an all-access pass to the group of astronauts and their colleagues, documenting their efforts, ambitions, personal sacrifices and breakthrough first steps. It will follow the full progress of the mission, through Artemis I’s orbit of the moon, Artemis II’s crewed flight around the Moon and ultimately Artemis III’s lunar landings and return to Earth.

Following the model of the National Geographic magazine’s iconic coverage of the early days of the Apollo program, Return To the Moon will report and photograph major milestones in the labs and in the field. The series is designed as an immersive, multimedia experience, featuring digital news stories, features and podcasts told along the way that will culminate in a special issue of the magazine once the mission is officially off the ground.

“For more than 130 years, National Geographic has created a legacy of bringing landmark stories and achievements to world audiences,” said Courteney Monroe, President, Content, National Geographic. “With extensive access to this history-making mission, we can once again inspire the world with a story of courage, imagination, passion and self-sacrifice through the eyes and the hearts of the Artemis team.”

Return To the Moon, produced for National Geographic by Lightbox, will shoot on 4k in prime lenses and blend NASA’s own recordings."

It's amazing that between the SpaceX channel and Everyday Astronaut, there's almost a half million viewers.
