	Project Gemini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original intention was for Gemini to use a paraglider instead of a parachute, and the crew to be seated upright controlling the forward motion of the craft before its landing.
		Gemini is also the name of the third constellation of the Zodiac and its twin stars, Castor and Pollux.
		The Gemini program was managed by the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas, under direction of the Office of Manned Space Flight, NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C, Dr. George E. Mueller, Associate Administrator of NASA for Manned Space Flight, served as acting director of the Gemini program.

	Gemini 12 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was the 10th manned Gemini flight, the 18th manned American flight and the 26th spaceflight of all time (includes X-15 flights over 100 km).
		In preparation for Gemini XII, new, improved restraints were added to the outside of the capsule, and a new technique-underwater training-was introduced, which would become a staple of all future space-walk simulation.
		Gemini 12 was designed to perform rendezvous and docking with the Agena target vehicle, to conduct three ExtraVehicular Activity (EVA) operations, to conduct a tethered stationkeeping exercise, to perform docked maneuvers using the Agena propulsion system to change orbit, and demonstrate an automatic reentry.

		The Roman numeral XII is located at the 12 o'clock position on the face of a clock, with the Gemini spacecraft pointing to it like the hour hand of a clock.
		The original schedule had Gemini 12 flying at Halloween, so the color scheme is fl and orange in recognition of the season.
		Gemini 8; The Gemini 6A patch is the "Gemini 6" version rather than the GTA-6 version in the official NASA photo of the mission patch; the shape of the Gemini IX patch — nearly flat on the bottom, and high on the sides — not quite matching the artwork.

	Manned Space Chronology: Gemini 12
		As the Gemini 12 spacecraft began its approach to the GATV, the radar system used as a rendezvous tool failed, and the crew completed a manual rendezvous that was achieved at a mission elapsed time of 3 hours, 46 minutes.
		As had been the case during Gemini 10 and Gemini 11, the mated spacecraft were to have been boosted to a higher altitude through the firing of the GATV multiple-start engine thrusters.
		As in Gemini 11, the tethered spacecraft were maneuvered to rotate around one another yet remained very stable and generated a miniscule amount of artificial gravity.

	Secret Strengths of 12 Signs: Gemini
		Curious Gemini loves secrets, but you don't really stay with any subject long enough to dig into its deepest mysteries, and that includes the subject of yourself.
		In business competitions, they are great at promoting new ideas, selling and advertising, but their management style is sometimes their undoing - they've been known to over borrow and overextend themselves, with too many irons in the fire and a tendency to try to handle everything personally, instead of delegating to experts.
		Geminis slip easily through the fingers of those who try to capture or ensnare them.

		In spite of the fact that the frog egg is known to orient itself with respect to gravity during its very early development, preliminary results from Gemini VIII suggest that a gravitational field is apparently not necessary for the egg to divide normally.
		The repetition of this experiment on Gemini XII was to provide the desired later cleavage and embryonic stages necessary to complete the study of microgravity effects on developmental processes.
		Frog eggs were prepared analogously to those flown eight months earlier on Gemini VIII; eggs were obtained from female frogs injected with pituitary gland extract, fertilized and placed in egg chambers at 43 °F to retard cell division until installation in the spacecraft.

	Space history: Gemini Program space history - Gemini missions spaceflight
		Project Gemini was a transitional step between the pioneering Mercury Program and the actual landing a man on the moon.
		The main objectives of the ten Gemini missions spanning a period of 20 months from 1965 to 1966, were to learn how to "fly" a spacecraft by 1) maneuvering it in orbit and by 2) rendezvousing and docking with other vehicles, which were essential skills for the later Apollo missions.
		One of these missions, Gemini VIII, nearly killed the man who would go on to be the first person to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong.

	Fun & Games
		Scheduled activities aren't exactly Gemini's strong suit; if, when the time comes to attend the meeting or appointment, Gemini feels like doing something else, they'll be hard-pressed to think of a reason not to follow their own whim or they'll become irritable at having to do something they don't want to do.
		Geminis are the original multi-taskers but they lack follow-through and tend to drop projects, lovers and jobs as soon as things become even remotely dull.
		Gemini could greatly benefit from taking the path of "quality, not quantity." This kind of focus and connection could be learned from Sagittarius, the Philosopher of the Zodiac, who is a thinker, like Gemini, but unlike Gemini likes to delve deeply to learn the truths of the Universe.
