Project Gemini: A Bridge to the Moon
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 10 Δεκ 2015
Project
Apollo took America to the moon. But what came before? The second in
our series of films using archive footage to tell the story of America's
early days in space looks at Project Gemini: America's crucial
programme designed to ready themselves for a trip to the moon.
Day 10 of A Place Called Space, our 2015 advent calendar: http://rigb.org/advent

Before
NASA could shoot for the moon, they had to master the basics. Lagging
behind their Soviet rivals at every turn, America's space travellers
were inexperienced but had a very ambitious goal.
The Gemini
programme is the unsung hero of NASA’s eventual triumph in reaching the
moon; a crucial scaffold on which Project Apollo was built. It is a
story of innovation and growing experience, at a time when America
seemed stuck one step behind in the Space Race. Tackling their first
space walk and space rendezvous, Project Gemini bridges the Mercury and
Apollo missions, providing the foundation for NASA’s first great
triumph.
‘A Place Called Space’ is the 2015 Royal Institution
advent calendar. Every day in the run up to Christmas we'll be releasing
an original piece of content exploring the human experience and
cultural significance of space travel. With hand-drawn animations,
experiments in zero gravity, interviews with astronauts and creative
data visualisations, the calendar will fire you into space every
morning.
'A Place Called Space' channels the voices of seasoned
astronauts and expert scientists through the eyes of a team of talented
animators, film-makers and artists, bringing you a thought-provoking gem
to kick-start each day.
