 Carried two people into space  Goal was to develop space travel techniques that would help them be ready for the later Apollo missions.  10 different launches  March 1965-November 1966

Gemini VI & VII: First docking (joining) of two manned spacecraft…in outer space!! One of the rocket engines. About as tall as a basketball hoop.

First extravehicular (outside of space vehicle) space walk: Gus Grissom, Gemini IV He was on a space walk for 22 minutes! Why is he wearing a tether/leash in outer space? Go back to our Science page and watch a video of his space walk!
