Possibility Of Pilot Error ruled out in Gemini 8 crisis
The Gemini 8 mission faced a near disaster when a 25 pound yaw thruster on the spacecraft erupted, causing wild yaw and rotation. NASA officials said the emergency end was not due to pilot error and credited Armstrong and Scott with exceptional skill as they isolated the problem and shut down the maneuvering system. The incident followed a normal docking with the Agena, then a yaw command and a tape recorder activation. The crew managed to back away and regain control before reentry.
