BEFORE YOU SHOW IT

Netflix lists this film as TV-MA. It has strong language: the f-word nine times (six of them in one short stretch of launch-control audio about 30 minutes in, two around the 65-minute mark and one near the end) plus one cut off in the first few minutes, two uses of "s--t," three of "hell," and "God" and "Jesus" used as exclamations. About 35 minutes in, a short run of news clips shows Elon Musk smoking marijuana on a podcast. It also includes archival footage of the Challenger and Columbia shuttle disasters. Preview it before you show it, and decide for your own classroom what to skip or mute. The worksheet stays with the engineering, NASA's Commercial Crew program and the Demo-2 mission.
