Astronauts Shatter Endurance Records
SPACE CENTER Houston UPI As Gemini 4 astronauts James McDivitt and Edward White set a new world endurance record in their 62 orbit test they spoke with wives Patricia McDivitt and Patricia White in a light hearted exchange. They began orbit 19 at 3 44 p m EDT and by orbit 18 White and McDivitt stood alone in the longest multi man flight. They aimed to beat the U S endurance mark of 34 hours 20 minutes held by L Gordon Cooper. If all goes well they would splash down Monday afternoon in the Atlantic. A highlight was the husband wife chat as Gemini 4 cruised between California and Texas. The crew also faced hatch closure trouble after White completed a space walk. The right side hatch proved difficult forcing extra time to secure. The issue could have risked the mission but the crew managed to seal the hatch with manual effort.
