With a dose of humor, the documentary investigates how religion would adapt to spaceflight and environments where tradition-setting natural events like sunsets and moon phases become inaccessible. Neil deGrasse Tyson, astronauts Jeffrey Hoffman and Jessica Meir, and a quorum of rabbis and researchers grapple with the question: will Judaism survive in space?
