  • Restored NASA 1962 documentary about EMPIRE - Early Manned Planetary-Interplanetary Roundtrip Expedition. Krafft Ehricke presents a General Dynamics study of Venus and Mars orbiters and landers, using spacecraft assembled on Earth Orbit using Saturn or Nova rocket launches. These spacecraft would be powered by nuclear thermal engines (NERVA).
    The video was remasted to improve color balance and stability. AI upscale (Topaz AI) was used to resample the video to full HD resolution. While it works in most cases, some artifacts are present in some sequences.
    Sound and image cleanup, AI upscale and color restoration by RetroSpace HD.

    Krafft Ehricke, the scientist here, is the man behind the Centaur upper stage. Raise a glass to him and the Cadillac of rocket stages.

    Wow, we were really ambitious in 62. The only thing they didn't see coming was Apollo 1, and the budget concerns in the early 70s.

    This optimistic film was made when NASA was getting 4% of the US budget; Freiherr Von Braun and his fellow "Expatriots" thought the cash flow would never stop: but then after a few moon landings, 'Murka bored of space exploration, and to quote Johnny Cash, the sparkling water stopped...

    There's no way that man can land on Venus because if surface temperature mars is the only planet that man could land on which is a long way to come this program was ambitious and Way too expensive

      They didn’t know at the time whether Venus had a thick atmosphere. This is likely just before Mariner and Venera.

      I agree. Venus was and is no option. Mars was always the best option for manned landings.
