Documentary about the Gemini X mission, entirely based on historical narration, mission audio and footage. The full mission is covered, showing training, Agena launch, Titan launch, Agena rendezvous, EVA, reentry and recovery.

Gemini 10 (officially Gemini X) was a 1966 crewed spaceflight in NASA's Gemini program. It was the 8th crewed Gemini flight. During the mission, flown by future STS1 Commander John Young and future Apollo 11 Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, Collins became the first person to perform two extravehicular activities.
Gemini 10 was designed to achieve rendezvous and docking with an Agena Target Vehicle (ATV), and EVA. It was also planned to dock with the ATV from the Gemini 8 mission. It would be also the first mission to fire the Agena's own rocket, allowing them to reach higher orbits.

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, NASA documentaries and progress reports, and TV and radio broadcasts sourced from LM5 and Apollo16uvc are used in an attempt to capture the feeling of the times. Language and attitudes should be seen in that context.
