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

Gemini 12 (officially Gemini XII) was the tenth crewed spaceflight mission of NASA's Project Gemini, which flew from November 11 to 15, 1966. Commanded by Gemini VII veteran James A.

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.
