  • Love The Space Shot!

    I only listen to a few podcasts and The Space Shot is one of them. Such a great glimpse into the Space program(s) and even a little pop culture. John must spend countless hours researching each episode and some are even recorded on site. Definitely worth it!

Episode 449: Gemini and Mercury Remastered: My Conversation with Andy Saunders
Q: When you were working with these images, did you have a story in mind that you wanted to tell?
I wanted to tell those stories, the human stories. People don't know a lot about the Gemini missions.
Episode 449: Gemini and Mercury Remastered: My Conversation with Andy Saunders
Q: Did anything change for Gemini and Mercury?
No, so the stacking is what I applied to the 60mm film. So that's the movie film that we took on Apollo with this DAC camera. They also had 60mm cameras on Mercury and Gemini.
