Cape Kennedy reports how NASA turned Gemini mission problems into solutions to improve spacecraft. Issues include visor condensation on Gemini 9, a thruster short in Gemini 8, Agena backfire in Gemini 6, low oxygen pressure in Gemini 5, sleep disruption on Gemini 5, and a gas shortage for Gemini 4’s spacegun with fixes like a common switch, fuel mix rearrangement, oxygen borrowing, simultaneous sleep, and linking the spacegun to a larger gas system.
