		Gemini spacecraft 6A and 7 rendevous in orbit.
		Gemini was the third manned spaceflight program undertaken by the United States of America, though it was completed before the second such program (Apollo).
		Gemini was originally seen as a simple extrapolation of the Mercury program and thus early on was called Mercury Mark II.

	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.
		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.
		The Gemini Program was conceived after it became evident to NASA officials that an intermediate step was required between the projects Mercury and Apollo.

	Gemini (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Gemini is a program that compares two circuit netlists and reports whether they are exactly the same, pinpointing differences if there are any.
		Gemini is typically used to determine whether a VLSI circuit layout is correct by comparing the wirelist extracted from the layout to the specification wirelist.
		Gemini is a program based on a well-known graph isomorphism algorithm that is very efficient for comparing circuits encountered in practice.

		Gemini 1 made 64 orbits and confirmed that the Titan II launch vehicle and the spacecraft were compatible.
		The Gemini VI flight, scheduled for launch on October 25, 1965, was scrubbed when the Agena target spacecraft with which the crew had planned to rendezvous and dock exploded during its launch.

	On The Shoulders of Titans - Summing Up
		Those areas that yielded most stubbornly were aired at Gemini and Apollo executive meetings attended by NASA administrators and their staffs and company presidents and their aides - the people in charge who could bring pressures and resources to bear to fix thrusters, fuel cells, Agenas, or other recalcitrant systems.
		The rapid succession of Gemini missions demonstrated that it was truly a second generation spacecraft, and the length of its missions - 330 hours on Gemini VII - allayed major medical concerns over man's ability to adapt to and function in space.
		Gemini started at $531 million to build what was supposed to be an improved Mercury and wound up costing $1.147 billion to cover a program that included many new developments.

	Gemini
		Gemini was to have continued to fly into the 1970's as the return capsule of the USAF Manned Orbiting Laboratory program.
		One of the major objectives in the program would be a test of orbital rendezvous, in which the two-man spacecraft would be launched into orbit by the Titan II and attempt to rendezvous with an Agena stage launched by an Atlas rocket.
		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's primary purpose was to demonstrate space rendezvous and docking - techniques that would be used during APOLLO, when the lunar lander would separate from the command module in orbit around the Moon, then meet up with it again after the astronauts left the lunar surface.
		GEMINI would have to move forward, backward and sideways in its orbital path, even change orbits.
		GEMINI gave U.S. astronauts their first real experience with living and working in space.

		Project Gemini, which used a two-man spacecraft, bridged the gap between the Mercury program, the first tentative steps into space, and the Apollo program, which landed men on the moon.
		Gemini's primary objectives were to investigate the problems of long-duration spaceflight, to develop techniques for rendezvous and docking with target vehicles, and to conduct extravehicular operations.
		Two of these, Gemini 6 and 7, were simultaneous so that the capsules could rendezvous in space and orbit in close formation.

		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.
