Based on a true story, though I've read there are inaccuracies, but there probably are in all film depictions of true events. This seems mighty popular here on IMDB, but I thought this was a weak movie that's more about his personal life than his professional one. Perhaps I was disappointed as I expected something a bit different. I literally fell asleep twice watching it I thought it so boring at times. I usually like Michael Peña, and he's not bad here, but I've seen him do much better work in much better films. No one else in the film made any particular impression on me and the writing and direction are very pedestrian. This story of the first Latino in space should have been something special and this just is not. It's not terrible, but it reminds me of old TV movies before premium channels existed.
