This 1965 NASA Film looks at the preparations for and achievements of the Gemini program. It begins with footage of the astronauts that have participated in the Mercury program and how this served as a precursor to Gemini. This is followed by testing done on the Gemini capsules and extensive footage of astronaut instruction. The film then covers the launches of Gemini 3 and 4 and ends with stunning footage of Edward White’s spacewalk, the first by an American.

Gemini 3 was the first crewed mission in NASA’s Project Gemini and was the first time two American astronauts flew together into space. On March 23, 1965, astronauts Gus Grissom and John Young flew three low Earth orbits in their spacecraft, which they nicknamed Molly Brown. It was the first U.S. mission in which the crew fired thrusters to change the size and shape of their orbit, a key test of spacecraft maneuverability vital for planned flights to the Moon. It was also the final crewed flight controlled from Cape Kennedy Air Force Station in Florida, before mission control functions were moved to a new control center at the newly opened Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas.
Gemini 4 (officially Gemini IV) was the second crewed spaceflight in NASA’s Project Gemini, occurring in June 1965. Astronauts James McDivitt and Ed White circled the Earth 66 times in four days, making it the first US flight to approach the five-day flight of the Soviet Vostok 5. The highlight of the mission was the first space walk by an American, during which White floated free outside the spacecraft, tethered to it, for approximately 23 minutes.
The flight also included the first attempt to make a space rendezvous as McDivitt attempted to maneuver his craft close to the Titan II upper stage which launched it into orbit, but this was not successful.
