From the bestselling author of Apollo Remastered, a collection of hundreds of newly-restored images and untold stories from the NASA archives that provide a never-before-seen perspective on the critical missions that paved the way for the Moon landing and today's NASA, Boeing, and Space X endeavors.
Astronauts working on the earliest space missions, from Project Mercury to the Gemini missions of the mid-1960s, answered fundamental questions about the possibilities of long-duration space travel, paving the way for the Apollo missions and, ultimately, the Moon landings. They also took the first, and still some of the finest, photographs of Earth ever captured on film. Now, Andy Saunders has restored images from these first missions to show them in unprecedented detail and tell their full story, filled with dramatic life or death moments, mischievous pranks and astonishing triumphs.
This stunning visual odyssey brings to life the pivotal, intimate moments of early space travel, unveiling the raw beauty and profound challenges faced by the pioneering astronauts pushing the boundaries of human achievement. Gemini and Mercury Remastered is a striking tribute to the visionaries who dared to dream beyond our world, and a testament to the enduring power of exploration.
