on the side of a space ship, on the tv show 'The Expanse'. I dig the reference to the history of flight, and each monumental step that got humans from ground to space

the tv show is good, but took a long time to get from setting the background info, to the action. 

the tv show is based on the series of novels of the same name by James S. A. Corey. The series is set in a future where humanity has colonized the Solar System, but is in a constant state of war between the Earthers, who control the food supply for the entire human species, and the Martians, who want to get independent of Earthers thinking they controls Mars like the yoke of British tyranny in the 1770s, wants to force Earth into concessions. Meanwhile the asteroid miners in the belt are fed up with Mars using them as little more than slave labor, with starvation rations of food and water, and oxygen. 

and then, someone finds some freaky alien stuff, and it's simply the weapon grade stuff of nightmares, and decides to use it to achieve freedom from all other factions of the human race. Oh, and a portal to other galaxies, that instantly moves you from this solar system, to thousands of others, without the time it takes to propel a space ship there across the thousands of light years it would conventionally take, but Earth, of course, decides it must control that access, so the Martians and Belters don't leave this solar system, and the quit supplying earth with metals for industry, and the wealth that Earthers make off the labor of those who left Earth for space. Because the moment the belters can colonize planets that will allow human food supplies to grow, no one will need Earth anymore. 

It's a good time to watch this show, now that it's done, 5 seasons were all they made, and they just released the last of them to Hulu, or Amazon, or HBO Max, I can't recall which.
