“Wickedly exciting… Mercury and Gemini were as noble an undertaking as America dared to command, and here you will witness these moments through Saunders' remastered imagery and truly experience history.”—Tom Hanks
“These remastered photos, in such detail and clarity, bring back clear memories of my journeys into space. Andy Saunders not only brings to the surface the value of the Mercury and Gemini programs, but more importantly, he allows people around the world to experience the same incredible awe of our beautiful Earth as the astronauts did on those very first voyages into space.”
—Jim Lovell, Gemini 7 & 12, Apollo 8 & 13
“An unprecedented trip back in time to the beginning of our manned space program. For the first time, Saunders’s magic touch has allowed us all to see the first space explorers in sharp focus. The restored images bring everything to life—they are a vibrant, new, living record—depicting perfectly the era of early human space exploration.”
—Gene Kranz, Flight Director, Mercury, Gemini & Apollo“Another excellent production from Andy Saunders. Gemini made space operations routine, and paved the way for ongoing human lunar exploration. The book certainly brings the Gemini Program back to life, which is so important for the new generation, and generations to come."—David R. Scott, Gemini 8, Apollo 9, & Apollo 15
"A stunning opus of a book - THE definitive account of a much overlooked chapter in the history of human spaceflight and exploration. Such delicious levels of narrative detail and visual spectacle, thanks to Saunders’ signature forensic approach. A truly herculean undertaking."—Dr. Christopher Riley, Co-producer, In the Shadow of the Moon
"Andy Saunders has done an AMAZING job with remastering photographs from the Gemini and Mercury flights. We are truly stunned with the results, some we are seeing for the very first time only now, 60 years after the iconic missions. The images are now so clear, that they pull you in, and show details never apparent before. A very special book to be treasured for generations."—Bonnie Baer and Ed White III - Children of Ed White II, Gemini 4 & Apollo 1
