Gemini Goals

The second U.S. manned space program was announced in January 1962.
Its two-man crew gave it its name, Gemini, for the third constellation of the
Zodiac and its twin stars, Castor and Pollux. Gemini involved 12 flights,
including two unmanned flight tests of the equipment. Like Mercury's, its major objectives were clear-cut:

  • To subject man and equipment to space flight up to two weeks in duration.
  • To rendezvous and dock with orbiting vehicles and to maneuver the docked combination by using the target vehicle's propulsion system;
  • To perfect methods of entering the atmosphere and landing at a preselected point on land. Its goals were also met, with the exception of a land landing, which was cancelled in 1964.

GT-6 image of Schirra and Stafford with the infamous "Beat Army" sign showing in the window.  I only have a few available signed by the full crew.  It shows you just how capable and ballsy our astronauts were when they were so inclined.  Anything to blow off the steam generated from such a dangerous business.  Both have signed in gold paint pen in excellent contrast to the image.

"Gotcha !! Gallery (Gemini)

 

BREAKING THE TENSION OF THE WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS

PROFESSION WAS A DIRTY JOB, BUT SOMEBODY HAD TO DO IT!

 

 

Which astronaut do you susppose was flashing the "Beat Army" sign visible in the window of GT-6 as you can easily see in the attached scan.  The answer is, Wally Schirra of course!  Only a handfull of these exist as they were signed exclusively for Farthest Reaches.  They are signed in gold paint pen with "Beat Army" and mission information added.  This signed image represents one of the most memorable "Gotcha" moments of the Gemini program.  Please the ignore the less than perfect scan.  I assure you the images themselves are pristine.
