Rendezvous points chart path for military space role
The Gemini 6 and 7 docking proves a method for linking orbiting craft and resupplying crews without returning to Earth. The Pentagon seeks guidance from President Johnson on MOL to study military uses in space while ruling out nuclear weapon delivery by satellites and noting an agreed restraint among major powers. Future space operations could include inspection and potential interception of suspect vessels via close rendezvous and possible destruction if hostile.
