Ordinary Supermen
NASA selects seven men to become the first astronauts and fly the Mercury capsule. They're all test pilots, prepared to risk their lives. No one has ever survived a vertical launch on top of a rocket, but it's the only way they know to put an astronaut into earth orbit. NASA and America's first astronauts, the Mercury Seven, are on a journey into the unknown. Six of the men ride into space, each launch taking NASA further forward in their quest to conquer space.

Friends and Rivals
Nine new astronauts arrive at NASA - their mission, to test all the procedures required to land men on the moon and bring them safely back to earth. Each Gemini mission launches two men into space, leading to some of NASA's greatest moments - Ed White's spacewalk, the first orbital rendezvous of Gemini 6 and 7, and Neil Armstrong's first space docking.

The Explorers
Apollo 13 puts the astronauts to the ultimate test, returning a damaged spacecraft back safely to earth. A new lunar rover enables moonwalkers to explore further than ever.

The Shuttle
For its first 20 years, NASA launches capsules carrying a maximum of three people. But new requirements for a bigger cargo bay prompt a breakthrough in spacecraft design. The development of the re-usable shuttle leads to a revolutionary approach to space travel, and a Gemini astronaut is the first to fly it. Tragedy again strikes NASA when the Challenger explodes. Meanwhile, the pioneers of NASA's manned programs lead the way into the modern era of the space-age.

Home In Space
One of the most complex instruments ever built, the Hubble Space Telescope, is expected to transform our understanding of the Universe. But once it is in orbit, NASA discovers a serious problem, a defective primary mirror. NASA sends a team of astronauts to fix the problem in its most important and highest-profile mission since the Apollo era. It gives NASA the confidence to begin construction on the International Space Station, paving the way back to the Moon and onto Mars.
