Journey into Space

The first Journey Into Space series was originally titled “Journey to the Moon” and was originally intended to have 12 episodes, and 5.1 million people tuned in to the first episode, but the first four episodes (which took place on Earth) didn’t prove very popular, and the audience soon shrank to less than 4 million.
