Launched in the summer of 1977, Voyager was the audacious first mission that would visit all the outermost planets. An adventure with heart and humor, THE FARTHEST is the story of Voyager as told firsthand by the indelible characters who made the mission happen. They are a small band of resourceful, ambitious, and passionate men and women who reached for the stars … and succeeded. As they reckon with their astonishing accomplishments, they take the viewer on a journey both epic and intimate that will stand alongside the achievements of Magellan, Columbus, Gagarin, and Armstrong.

Nothing about the mission was easy. The twin spacecraft defied the odds to survive series of perils: a fuel leak, a jammed camera platform, and Jupiter’s sizzling radiation belts, shielded by a last-minute MacGyver-like wrapping of aluminum foil purchased at a supermarket. With less computing power than a modern hearing aid, Voyager beamed back spectacular images of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. But their moons offered features never before seen beyond Earth: geysers, erupting volcanoes, and a liquid water ocean.
