Episode Description
Best-selling author and imaging specialist Andy Saunders follows up his remarkable Apollo Remastered with Gemini and Mercury Remastered. Gemini was NASA's highly ambitious 20-month sprint to prove that they could get to the moon in time to meet President John F. Kennedy's challenge.
Andy's remastering of the first space photography allows us to see our world the way NASA's Mount Rushmore of astronauts did 60 years ago.
