One Strange Rock (2018)

Episode Overview
In the series finale, we follow Peggy Whitson, NASA's most seasoned female astronaut, as she makes her way back to Earth. The narrative sparks reflection on the rarity of life in the universe; while life itself is uncommon, complex forms are even scarcer, and intelligent life might be a fleeting evolutionary experiment. This raises the thought that humans could be unique in our ability to marvel at the vast and extraordinary cosmos around us, potentially standing alone in our capacity for wonder and appreciation of its mysteries.
