Gemini 5 Gemini Patch Ed White

Project Gemini was a transitional step between the pioneering Mercury Program and the actual goal of landing a man on the moon. Its success was critical to achieving this goal of reaching 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 man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong. These autographed Gemini photographs record another small step toward that Giant Leap to the moon. For more information see our history of the Gemini program pages.
