Project Gemini: How NASA Learned to Fly and Work in Space


 

When the United States committed itself to landing on the moon, NASA had no experience in any of the techniques or technologies necessary for a lunar mission. The Gemini series took ten pairs of astronauts into space to gain experience in long space flights, rendezvous and walking in space.

The lecture will be on held Sunday, October 29 at 2 PM – 3 PM at 2 p.m at ISEC, the InfoAge Space Exploration Center, 2300 Marconi Road, Wall, New Jersey.
