Walking with Spacemen is a two-part television documentary about the exploration of our Solar system. This was its working title, but the programme as shown was titled 'Space Odyssey: Voyage To The Planets', which was also the title of the book of the series (by Tim Haines and Christopher Riley).

The documentary centres around a hypothetical spacecraft carrying 5 astronauts. The expedition visits the surface of Venus, Mars, Jupiter's moon Io, Titan (Saturn's largest moon), Pluto amd a fictional comet Yano-Moore.
