Documentary about the Gemini 1 mission, entirely based on historical narration, mission audio and footage.

Gemini 1 was the first mission in NASA's Gemini program in 1964. Uncrewed, it was a test flight with the main objective of testing the structural integrity of the new Gemini spacecraft and modified Titan II launch vehicle. It was also a test of the new communication systems ground support crews.

The footage was AI upscaled (Topaz AI) on some segments, besides the usual color correction. Ambient audio was recreated based on historical elements. Sequences are shown in proper mission context as much as possible.

Historical narration (from mission commentary and NASA documentaries and progress reports) is used in an attempt to capture the feeling of the times. Language and attitudes should be seen in that context.
