Retro Space HD | Gemini 3 First Crewed Flight - Launch, Historical Footage, AI upscale, Narration, NASA, Titan, 1965 @RetroSpaceHD | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 45 minutes ago.
Documentary about the Gemini 3 mission, entirely based on historical narration, extensive mission audio and footage. The full mission is covered, showing training, launch, orbit-by-orbit operation, recovery and results.
Gemini 3 was the first crewed mission in NASA's Project Gemini and was the first time two American astronauts flew together into space. On March 23, 1965, astronauts Gus Grissom and John Young flew three low Earth orbits in their spacecraft, which they nicknamed Molly Brown. It was the first U.S. mission in which the crew fired thrusters to change the size and shape of their orbit, a key test of spacecraft maneuverability vital for planned flights to the Moon.

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.
