This 1965 NASA Film looks at the preparations for the Apollo Program and how the groundwork was laid for this during the Gemini Program. It starts with the major milestones of the Gemini program including manned missions, space walks, and longer periods in space for astronauts. It then looks at the development of the Saturn I rocket with footage of its components, the testing of the different components, and some launches. After this, there is detailed footage of the newly developed Saturn V rocket, including its stages and components being tested. It ends with some large construction sites at Cape Canaveral that will be needed to accommodate the eventual start of the lunar missions. This includes a new launch complex as well as the testing of the rocket transporters.
