Jesús Calleja, the renowned Spanish adventurer and television presenter, has added another extraordinary achievement to his list of exploits by becoming the first Spanish tourist to travel to space. This historic journey, which took place on February 25, 2025, aboard the Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft, has now been immortalized in a documentary series titled 'Calleja en el espacio: Misión cumplida' (Calleja in Space: Mission Accomplished). The series, produced in collaboration with Zanskar Producciones and Mediaset España, offers an intimate look at Calleja's preparation and the moments leading up to the launch, as well as the breathtaking experience of space travel itself.

The documentary, available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, has been released in two parts, with the final episodes now accessible to subscribers in over 200 countries. These episodes capture the culmination of Calleja's dream, showcasing the emotional and physical challenges he faced to reach the stars. The series not only highlights the personal significance of this journey for Calleja but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and the relentless pursuit of adventure.

Reflecting on his experience, Calleja shared his profound connection to Spain, despite his global adventures. He emphasized the unparalleled quality of life in Spain, describing it as his 'base camp' with a unique character and way of life that he finds unmatched anywhere else in the world. This sentiment underscores the documentary's exploration of identity, belonging, and the universal human desire to explore beyond our earthly confines.

The release of 'Calleja en el espacio: Misión cumplida' on Prime Video marks the end of a remarkable chapter in Calleja's life and career. It not only celebrates his personal achievement but also inspires viewers to dream big and pursue their passions, no matter how distant they may seem. As Calleja himself puts it, this journey was a dream come true, a moment he had been waiting for his entire life, and now, through this documentary, audiences around the world can share in that dream.
