NASA Gemini 1965-1966 (All Missions, All Models): An Insight Into Nasa's Gemini Spacecraft, the Precursor to Apollo and the Key to the Moon

The Gemini space flight program is all but forgotten, having been eclipsed by the spectacular drama and success of the Apollo flights to the Moon. Neither was it a pioneer, coming after the heroic and pathfinding Mercury project. But whereas Mercury was derided as 'spam-in-a-can' and Apollo was a truck towing a lunar lander, the Gemini spacecraft was an agile flying machine for fighter pilots. Initially called the Mercury Mark II, it gave the United States the tool it needed to learn how to fly in space, and in so doing it prepared the country's space agency, NASA, to set off for the Moon.

“NASA projects often have romantic names that link into a long history of exploration and adventure: Atlantis and Discovery, for example.” Made this trip yesterday and I‘ve never been more inspired to read some out there books. #scifi
