NASA astronauts Neil Armstrong (left), command pilot, and David Scott, pilot, the Gemini 8 prime crew, during a photo session outside the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Mission Control Center on March 11, 1966. Both men are wearing full spacesuits and carrying their helmets. March 16, 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of NASA s Gemini 8 mission, the sixth manned spaceflight conducted during the United States Project Gemini program. The primary objective of the mission, the successful docking of two spacecraft in orbit, a first in spaceflight, was a success though the crew would experience a critical in-space system failure, forcing them to abandon the mission prematurely.
