How to watch Artemis: to the Moon and Back documentary for free around the world

Artemis II splashed down after its ten day mission just a few days ago, but we've already got a slew of documentarians giving us an inside look into the historic return to the moon. One of the first, Artemis: To the Moon and Back is set to launch today on BBC iPlayer, and I'm showing you how to watch all around the world.

The 59 minute feature was shot over three and a half years of NASA preparations, looking at the processes, tests, and experiments that sent the Artemis II crew further into space than ever. It's a BBC exclusive for now, dropping on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.

Kicking off with the first Artemis I test of the SLS, the original mission, and the announcements of the astronauts themselves, the documentary runs through the testing and development process of the Orion capsule and into the Artemis II mission. Told by project engineers, reporters, and key NASA personnel, Artemis: To the Moon and Back takes us through the entire project to date and I'm showing you how to watch it all right here.

If you're currently travelling, you'll likely find yourself locked out of your usual BBC iPlayer content. That's because the service has geoblocks in place that restrict its shows only to those currently in the UK. Don't despair, though, as there's a workaround.

Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is great for security, but it can also allow you to watch your usual content as if you were sitting at home. The service masks your IP address from each site you visit, allowing you to log into various servers across the world and appear as if you're watching from the UK.
