When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions - Sundays from September 07 at 20:00

9/07
 Ordinary Supermene
NASA, formed in 1958, one year after the launch of Sputnik, is leading the search for test pilots who have what it takes to enter the unknown of outer space. The seven men chosen to fly the Mercury capsule each know what it means to risk their lives.

Friends and Rivals
NASA understands that getting to the Moon and back means mastering the art of joining two spaceships in space. With that goal, NASA begins a new programme dubbed Gemini and for the first time will launch two men into space in a single spaceship. Gemini is charged with achieving an ambitious set of advanced space travel goals, from long-duration flights to space walks.

Commander Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders become the first humans to leave the gravitational pull of Earth and see the far side of the Moon.
