Synopsis:

WHEN WE LEFT EARTH: THE NASA MISSIONS: Narrated by Gary Sinise and featuring rare interviews with legends Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin, "When We Left Earth" explores the missions, the heroes, and the triumphs of space exploration in a depth of detail previously experienced only by astronauts themselves.
NASA'S UNEXPLAINED FILES: This series combs through 5 hours of evidence, interviews, and theories that attempt to explain the unexplained. From astronauts to abductees, a variety of sources submit film footage and first-hand testimonies to be examined in search for the truth.
HUBBLE: THE FINAL CHAPTER: Hubble is a global superstar and a household name. The dangerous massive mission to revive the greatest science tool today is under way and once again Hubble and all the brilliant scientists and astronauts responsible for her, will make history.
LAST FLIGHT OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE: The on-site NASA engineers take viewers under the hood of the orbiter craft to explain the secrets of its success. This documentary examines the past, present and future of the shuttle programme and U.S. space exploration.

Narrated by award-winning actor Gary Sinise, WHEN WE LEFT EARTH is the incredible story of humankind's greatest adventure, as it happened, told by the people who were there. From the early quest of the Mercury program to put a man in space, to the historic moon landings, through the Soyuz link-up and the first un-tethered space walk by Bruce McCandless, this is how the space age came of age. The vivid HD series features vintage rushes and all the key onboards filmed by the astronauts themselves. The sequences are captured by cameras onboard the spaceships, enabling the series to tell the stories in a depth never seen before.
