The late 1970's were the golden age of documentaries: Connections, Cosmos, Civilization, The Ascent of Man and Attenborough's Life on Earth.
Perhaps it's just me, but modern documentaries are rather dumbed down?
As a side note: Quite ironic that he ends up pointing to a rocket propelled mostly by solid fuels.
I just saw this on a netflix documentary too, called "Civilization".
I've never heard that about Civilization! I like it because it's just fun and interesting to watch. Some episodes are inspiring in a way, particularly the Renaissance and 18th century ones.
FWIW I'm not right wing and I'm a US/West minority (Hispanic). No problem with the language or topics in the series.
