Re-live the excitement of the early days of space exploration, from the launch of the first artificial satellite sputnik, to the magnificant lunar landings and privately operated space flights.



Produced by Mirage 3d of the Netherlands, "Dawn of the Space Age" begins with the launch of Sputnik and covers important Russian space history as well as the American Gemini, Apollo and Shuttle programs. Along the way are glimpses of the Viking mission to Mars and the Voyager mission to the outer planets. The program leads us to the International Space Station, the X-prize winning private space ship and on to future Mars exploration.
Be immersed and overwhelmed with this most accurate historic reconstruction of Man's first steps into space. Who were these Men and Women that took part in these death defying endeavours? Witness their drive, their passion, and their perseverance to explore, in "Dawn of the Space Age."
