Six hours of raw 1960s space footage. No narration. Just astronauts being cooler than you'll ever be.
In the mid-1960's, after the success of Project Mercury, the need to master long-duration missions and extravehicular activity resulted in Project Gemini, which provided the seasoning in men and machines that led to the first American spacewalk... and paved the way for ultimate victory in the race to the Moon. This 3-disc set chronicles America's bold new program with comprehensive footage from the film and videotape records of Project Gemini. Includes original Project Gemini documentary, complete 16mm onboard film from all the flights, footage from each mission preparation, launch and recovery. With rare bonus footage of the Gemini spacecraft, Titan launch vehicle, crew training activities and more. Runtime is over 6 hours. NOTE: Some of the tracks do not contain audio.
