  Gemini Project
Gemini 1 was to check compatibility between the Gemini spacecraft and the Titan II launch vehicle (see Gemini-Titan II) and no attempt was made to separate the two during their brief flight.
Gemini 4’s goals were to evaluate the spacecraft and crew during a lengthy stay in space, rendezvous with the spent Titan II second stage, carry out the first American spacewalk, and continue testing the Orbital Attitude Maneuvering System (OAMS).
Gemini 7 was also the first American spaceflight during which for much of the time the crew left off their pressurized suits.

  Gemini 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gemini 3 was a 1965 manned space flight in NASA's Gemini program.
It was the first manned Gemini flight, the ninth manned American flight and the 17th manned spaceflight of all time (includes X-15 flights over 100 kilometres).
Other firsts were achieved on Gemini 3: two people flew aboard an American spacecraft; the first manned re-entry where the spacecraft was able to produce lift to change its touchdown point.

 Gemini
Truth be told, a Gemini launched atop a Titan 3E or Saturn IVB Centaur could have accomplished a circumlunar flight as early as 1966 and, using earth orbit rendezvous techniques, a landing at least a year before Apollo.
Gemini was to have continued to fly into the 1970's as the return capsule of the USAF Manned Orbiting Laboratory program.
Gemini Project Office (GPO) reported that it was investigating the use of a parasail and landing rocket system to enable the Gemini spacecraft to make land landings.

 Gemini Spacecraft - Projects Gemini
Gemini 11 was the first US manned spacecraft that made the first steering re-entry controlled entirely by computer.
Gemini mission accomplishments included the first U.S. two-man spaceflight, spacewalk by an American, use of fuel cells for electric power, spacecraft rendezvous, docking with another spacecraft, emergency landing of a U.S. spacecraft and use of an Agena target vehicle's propulsion system for rendezvous operations.
The Gemini program was managed by the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas, under the supervision of the Office of Manned Spaceflight at NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C. Dr. George E. Mueller acted as program director up until Gemini 5, when William C. Schneider took over the responsibility.

Gemini 5's Titan II first stage survived staging (a feat in itself, considering the Titan II's "fire-in-the-hole" staging process, wherein the second stage engine ignited before the first stage was even severed, which sometimes just blew the first stage to pieces), re-entry, and unassisted splashdown.
Gemini 5, despite a few problems, was a valuable step on the long road to the Moon, and the United States can now claim the lead in the space race with the Soviets.
Gemini 5, although nobody could have known it at the time, was to be his last space flight.

 Gemini Program
This was the second uncrewed Gemini test mission, consisting of a sub-orbital ballistic flight and reentry with the primary objectives being to demonstrate the adequacy of the spacecraft reentry module's heat protection during a maximum heating rate return, the structural integrity of the spacecraft, and the performance of spacecraft systems.
Gemini 3 was launched from Complex 19 and inserted 5 minutes 54 seconds later into a 161.2x224.2 km orbit with a period of 88.3 minutes.

 Gemini 3 mission history - Detailed account of the 1st manned Gemini mission
Officially the flight was Gemini 3, unofficially it was the voyage of "Molly Brown."
The Gemini spacecraft was designed to have enough lift to be piloted to a relatively precise landing but its aerodynamic behavior had less real lift than theoretically predicted in wind tunnel tests.
After the main parachute deployed, Gemini 3 hung vertically by its nose but prior to landing a cabin switch had to be toggled to shift the spacecraft to a two-point suspension with its nose some 35 degrees above horizontal.

Officially the flight of Gemini 3, unofficially it was the voyage of "Molly Brown." During Project Mercury, each pilot had named his own spacecraft, although Cooper had some trouble selling NASA on Faith 7 for the last spacecraft in the program.
Gemini Project Office (GPO) reported that a silver-zinc battery power system would be flown in spacecraft No. 3 instead of a fuel cell system, which could not be qualified in time for the mission.
The Gemini mission simulator at the Cape, configured in the spacecraft No. 3 version, became operational; during the next three weeks, some 40 hours of flight crew usage and three hours of other Manned Spacecraft Center personnel usage were logged.

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.
