There is a lot of books you can read with full information on the project but nothing can compare to the visual experience. This DVD is complete, excellently put together, quality is marvelous, I went through it in two sessions - you simply cannot stop! Highlights are definitely Ed White's and Buzz Aldrin's spacewalks and of course the Gemini 6 and 7 rendezvous.

Millions have seen brief snippets of Ed White's breathtaking Gemini 4 spacewalk, but to see the whole thing from start to finish is the next best thing to being there. The colors of the motion picture are every bit as vibrant as the best still photograph, and to hear White and Gemini 4 commander Jim McDivitt describe the experience throughout the entire spacewalk sequence is worth the price of the three-disc set alone. Truly, truly amazing.

s much as I'd like to see more people, especially those who have kids who are interested in the subject, take up an interest in space exploration and the history of what has already happened, the fact remains that the Project Gemini DVD set is best viewed by those who have enough of an interest to sit through what often amounts to silent movie footage.

All told, this is the most comprehensive look at the Gemini missions ever assembled. Not only is the documentary feature of the highest quality, but the ability of the viewer to call up any film moment from any specific mission is mind boggling. Hopefully, this will prove to be just one out of many, many future releases from Spacecraft Films.
