NEW YORK, NY – (August 3, 2026) – CNN today announced the premiere of its latest CNN FlashDoc, Eclipsing Power: Musk, Bezos and the New Space Race, an examination of how two billionaires are reshaping America’s future in space. The documentary special will stream at CNN.com/Watch and on the CNN app starting Friday, August 7 and will air Sunday, August 9 at 8pm ET on CNN, just days before this summer’s highly anticipated solar eclipse.
