Premise[edit]
Percy Saltzman hosted this Ottawa-produced series which concerned the history of travel in outer space. Emphasis was given to the years since 1957 when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1 and covered the American space program whose Apollo 11 successfully placed astronauts on the Moon a week before this series' debut. Footage from Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the United States was combined with interviews of scientists and engineers who were engaged in outer space programs.[1]
