Plot
Comme dans l’espace is fiction-based and tells the story of two adolescents, Alex and Joaquim. These two vloggers discover a former secret space agency station (the bunker). With the assistance of an android, Mia, an apprentice astronaut, data from the Canadian Space Agency and various experiments, they explore the phenomena of the science of space.[3][4]
In each episode, Alex and Joaquim are assigned a new mission from an apprentice astronaut. Each mission explores a new space-related subject such as black holes, weightlessness and the movement of the planets. Their objective is to learn about the science of the cosmos all the while conducting experiments on Earth. They vlog these experiments and share their experiences with their viewing public.[5]
The concept of this television series, Comme dans l'espace, is to provide an educational experience for the young, but in effect, it is a show for all ages.
