The Gemini Program

With the success of Project Mercury, NASA knew that it could launch someone into orbit and then safely return them to Earth, but that could only take us so far in terms of landing on Moon. The next steps were to send more astronauts into space and expand the range of vehicles available- that would be done through the Gemini Program.

As part of our celebration of Apollo 14’s 50th Anniversary, we’re posting information on Alan Shepard, the Apollo Program, and NASA.
