Retrospective

Program 6 ImageMost people take the idea of manned space flight for granted. But during the late fifties and early sixties, the idea of man traveling in space was a new and challenging idea to be conquered. In the early days of the space program engineers knew very little about the effects of space travel and reentry into the atmosphere on the human body. NASA researcher Dr. Max Faget came up with a revolutionary design that helped launch America into the space age. Destination tomorrow spoke with Dr. Max Faget about his earlier days inside NASA's space program.
