NASA’s Artemis II mission is set to launch as early as February 6, putting human spaceflight to the moon back in the spotlight after a 50-plus year hiatus which may inspire future filmmakers to explore the possibilities of space travel in their own work.
In celebration of our IRL return to the drama and wonder of space, we asked 11 astronauts to share their favorite space films that capture the thrill of leaving Earth behind. Did your favorite make it?

What about space movies that are least favorites?
There are things like Star Wars that take place in space (kinda) but aren’t really intended to be about space, and I’d imagine most of us can find at least 2 or 3 that we enjoy.
There is Gravity, which is supposed to be more about realistic human experiences in space travel, but the whole premise of the movie is kind of flawed from a physics standpoint.

The caption
A spacecraft approaches a red sun on its journey to Jupiter in „2001: A Space Odyssey.“

No love for *First Man* makes me sad. Such a tremendous yet constantly overlooked movie.

Then there’s Solaris, which now that I think of it was kinda ripped off of by Michael Crichton with Sphere.
