Synopsis
Own a piece of history! This 3-disc set — over 6 hours in all — chronicles America’s bold new space program with comprehensive footage from the film and videotape records of Project Gemini — much of it never seen before by the public!
Features on-board footage, multi-angle coverage of every Gemini launch, and post-flight commentary by the Gemini astronauts on their experiences working in space. Disc 1 includes an original program written by Andrew Chaikin, author of “A Man On The Moon”.
The two-man Gemini missions are the forgotten cousin of the space program; Mercury (The Right Stuff) and Apollo (From the Earth to the Moon) have been chronicled in popular books and film for years.
This 6-hour set rights the wrong, illustrating how the ambitious program (10 missions in 1965-66) developed most of the key attributes to go to the moon (including long-duration flight, space walking, rendezvous and docking).
- Original Project Gemini documentary written by Andrew Chaikin, author of “A Man on the Moon”
- Complete 16mm onboard film footage from all flights
- Footage from each Gemini mission preparation, launch and recovery
