  <itunes:subtitle>We’re taking a one-episode break from "The Lunar Era" series for a conversation I’ve been looking forward to, an in-depth discussion with bestselling author and NASA image-restoration expert Andy Saunders about his new book “Gemini and Mercury Remastered.”
Andy explains how he restored thousands of original NASA film scans to reveal the Mercury and Gemini programs as you’ve never seen them. We explore the human stories behind these missions and why authentic imagery matters more than ever in the age of AI.
It’s a fascinating look at the era that made the Moon landings possible and a perfect companion to "The Lunar Era."</itunes:subtitle>
