Description
To get to the Moon, NASA needed to master techniques like rendezvous, docking and spacewalking – and to do that it needed a new two-seat spacecraft to fill the gap between Mercury and Apollo. Book 6 in the Race for Space series describes the birth and early tests of Project Gemini, culminating in Colonel Ed White's amazingly photographed walk in Earth orbit.
