Human space flight grips the imagination, fuelling the hopes and aspirations of people the world over. But it has always overshadowed the extraordinary robotic quests of metal explorer crafts such as Voyager II, one of the countless unsung heroes and contributors to mankind's understanding of space in the past, present and into the future. Since the first Russian robot flew round the moon in 1959, more than two hundred incredible metal explorers have diced with death, enduring multi-billion mile missions to unwelcoming worlds and dramatic journeys of discovery and survival that rival the tale of Apollo 13. Their maps, measurements and images are what's made Walking with Spacemen possible and they've trail blazed a priceless path for any future manned missions. Every amazing event, experience and danger in the series is based on real robotic mission records. But what does it take to hurl a human crew in their wake - to dare to walk in fatal places where we're not meant to tread?
