Space Exploration from Sputnik to Mars

You watch a launch clip, hear the countdown, and realise you know the highlights but not the story that connects them. Sputnik, Gagarin, Apollo, the Shuttle, the landers on Mars, all sitting in your head as separate facts instead of one continuous human adventure.

This is that adventure told in order, from the first radio beep crossing the night sky to reusable boosters settling back onto their pads. You feel the noise and vibration of a Saturn V leaving the ground, learn what lunar dust actually smells like on an astronaut's glove, live inside the decisions behind the accidents nobody wanted, and follow the robotic probes and great telescopes that carried our eyes further than our bodies could go.

By the end you can explain how we got here, and why the next decades matter, in your own words. Press play and step into the story that is still being written.
