In just two-and-a-half years, beginning in 1964, two unmanned and
ten manned flights took place in the Gemini program. This program
was the turning point in the space race with the USSR; from then on
the Americans took the lead. Flights lasting two weeks, into the
Van Allen Belt, the first extravehicular activities, rendezvous
maneuvers and docking with other spacecraft-all of this was
achieved by Gemini, paving the way for the more demanding moon
landing program. It was not all success, however. Like almost every
significant undertaking, Project Gemini also had its dramas and
tragedies. All Project Gemini missions are discussed, including
details on all craft and the astronauts involved. Superb color,
archival images, cutaways and plans are also included.
