Aside from general youth and race, Agena, who is “a bit older” than the character she plays, shares little in common with her onscreen identity.
In person, Agena somehow bears little physical resemblance to Lane, a less trendy, more overachieving, obedient-if-eccentric (“conflicted, funny and loyal,” Agena describes) high school student confined by the hyper-conservativeness of her family.
Injurious or not, “Gilmore Girls,” which after all is not based on Agena or her character’s trials but rather the mother-daughter camaraderie of her cast-mates, has been lauded by both critics and audiences, holding its own against stalwart network shows in the same primetime slot—“Friends” and “Survivor” among them.

If this Agena were to become Gemini IX's or X's passive target, there were two major problems to contend with, and Flight Control had to decide what to do about them.
Although the Gemini team was chagrined that the crew had been forced to land early, the knowledge that docking could be achieved with relative ease somewhat assuaged their anguish.
* The Agena's electrical system would be dead before a return visit by a spacecraft; with no way to control the target, a load of fuel was a hazard during any rendezvous attempt.
