For the first time on TV, stories of terrifying accidents and close calls during space missions are told by the astronauts who survived them. The near-disasters-turned-triumphs in `Secret Space Escapes' are expressed solely from the point of view of the men and women who problem-solved each event. There is no narration in the series and the stories unfold exclusively in the words of the people who were there. Chilling accounts of the challenges of space exploration feature launches, space walks, landings, collisions, outages, and other dangerous situations.
