Into the Unknown
Beneath the idyllic façade of the 1950s, things are not nearly as quiet as they seem. Through first-person accounts and pointed insights, we experience the fears and anxieties that give birth to the Space Race - and witness the tension, thrill, uncertainty, and exhilaration of man's first bold steps into the unknown.
Perilous Steps
Although most people have never even heard of it, the Gemini Program is a crucial stepping stone on the path to the Moon. Through first-person perspectives and intense storytelling, we uncover the dramatic stories of these unknown missions in which the tiniest glitch, smallest miscalculation, or most innocent of errors can mean the difference between life and death.
Failure and Fire
Man's journey to the Moon is fraught with triumphs... and tragedies. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the most harrowing and heartbreaking loss suffered during the Apollo program, then witness the incredible power of the human spirit as NASA's men and women rally to send Apollo 8 on a breathtaking voyage into lunar orbit.
Hailed as Heroes
As NASA prepares for the world's first attempt at a lunar landing, the Soviet Union responds by launching its own surprise bid to reach the Moon first. While the two competing nations sprint towards the finish line, we reveal how this all-but-forgotten chapter in the Space Race unexpectedly develops into a moment of unprecedented international cooperation.
