With the beginning of its first manned spaceflights in 1962, America revealed a new generation of pioneers whose names would forever be etched into the stone of human space exploration history. The astronauts of the successive missions of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs formed this first generation of pioneers, which concluded with the final lunar mission: Apollo 17 in 1972.
At the risk of their lives, these astronauts confronted the unknown, contributed to the advancement of human ingenuity, and fed, through their achievements, mankind’s most extraordinary dream since the dawn of time: that of one day conquering space. Crossing this frontier undoubtedly represents, to this day, the greatest human achievement of all time, perhaps second only to the decisive mastery of fire.
