Gemini 8 Flight Failure Marks Setback for U.S. Space Effort
CAPE KENNEDY UPI reports the Gemini 8 mission suffered a severe in-flight loss after a near flawless start marking the 40th anniversary of liquid rocket firing. Astronauts Armstrong and Scott managed a dramatic docking with the Agena before emergency splashdown in the western Pacific. The setback casts doubt on upcoming Gemini flights 9 through 12 and the path to Apollo lunar missions. Engineers stressed lessons learned may outpace the trouble’s cause, while Gilruth cautioned no speculation on future impact. The seven hours and two minutes of the mission had showcased a near perfect rendezvous before the mishap. Police report: George Thomas, 27, burglar alarm salesman, says a demonstration kit was stolen from his parked automobile.
