About this listen

This episode examines NASA's first human spaceflight programs, when survival itself was the primary achievement. Max explores the trial-and-error nature of early missions, the extraordinary risks astronauts accepted, technological limitations, and the quiet heroism of engineers working under impossible timelines. From Alan Shepard's fifteen-minute flight to Gemini's complex orbital rendezvous missions, the episode reveals how these programs built the technical and psychological foundation for everything that followed.
