Since the dawn of mankind, we have stared up at the lights in the sky and wondered... Now join the heroic men and women who have dared the impossible on some of the greatest adventures ever undertaken - the quest to reach out beyond Earth and into the great unknown of space!
To celebrate 50 years of incredible achievements, the Discovery Channel has collaborated with NASA to reveal the epic struggles, tragedies and triumphs in a bold chapter of human history. Along with the candid interviews of the people who made it happen, never-before-seen film footage from the NASA archives - including sequences on board the actual spacecraft in flight - have been carefully restored, edited and compiled for this landmark collection.
Narrated by award-winning actor Gary Sinise, WHEN WE LEFT EARTH is the incredible story of humankind's greatest adventure, as it happened, told by the people who were there. From the early quest of the Mercury program to put a man in space, to the historic moon landings, through the Soyuz link-up and the first un-tethered space walk by Bruce McCandless, this is how the space age came of age. The vivid HD series features vintage rushes and all the key onboards filmed by the astronauts themselves. The sequences are captured by cameras onboard the spaceships, enabling the series to tell the stories in a depth never seen before.
6 EPISODES:
-Ordinary Supermen
-Friends And Rivals
-Landing The Eagle
-The Explorers
-The Shuttle
-A Home In Space
This documentary contains priceless original mission footage from NASA's secret film vaults transferred to High-Definition at unprecedented resolution, extremely rare footage from space vehicles' onboard cameras, exclusive new interview with reclusive Neil Armstrong - the first man on the moon, greatest moments in the conquest of space played out in real time, and first-hand testimony from those who experienced the greatest journeys ever undertaken by man. Almost 4 hours of bonus material not seen in the broadcast version is also included.
From the first foot on the moon to the first robots on Mars, NASA has long led the human race into the great unknown, fulfilling man's ancient imperative to understand the worlds beyond this one. WHEN WE LEFT EARTH chronicles the amazing achievements--and heartwrenching disasters--of the space agency's first 50 years. The series includes intimate, candid interviews with the astronauts, mission control personnel, engineers, and politicians who had a front row seat for the first half-century of America's space exploration.
